American Pickers has been airing on the History channel since 2010, and has 18 seasons and 245 episodes under its Americana laced belt.
The show has a huge following, and the series premiere became the highest rated History channel debut since Ice Road Truckers in 2007.
Considering how well this episode of NCIS will work American Pickers into the storyline, it’s possible that someone on staff at the long-running procedural is a big fan, and that wouldn’t be a surprise at all.
The series follows “picker” partners Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz as they travel the country by car looking for rare collectibles and treasures they can sell in their shops, acquire for clients or keep for their personal collections.
