The debut of the new “Cajun Pawn Stars” was a big hit on the History Channel the dudes over at “Pawn Stars” show are PISSED OFF because they had no idea it was being made.

The cast over at “Pawn Stars” say they felt “blindsided” because they only learned about the show a few weeks ago and only because the network made the official announcement.

Chumlee, Rick, Corey and the Old Man state that they were promised by the network that no “Pawn Stars” spin-off shows would be made of any kind and now feel like they were betrayed.

Sources say the guys are “really hurt” by the whole thing and feel like the new show is a “total knock-off”.

But isn’t that the network way? If a show does well, produce 10 more of the same show? I can’t count how many of the same Pawn shows, Judge Shows, Repo Shows, etc. I have seen.

There is no more creativity in television. Just concept piracy.
