Question about prank

[edit]

I recently received an e-mail from an anonymous source informing me that almost every AR appraiser was pranked by someone using the name, "Marsha Bemko", the producer of AR. The prank e-mail's subject was, "Notice of termination.", and read as follows:

Appraisers who obstinately refuse to use "antiques" properly will be terminated.

It's always:

Antiques shop, not "antique [sic]" shop.

Antiques dealer, not "antique [sic]" dealer.

Antiques show/auction, not "antique [sic]" show/auction.

Antiques collector, not "antique [sic]" collector.


Antiques, the plural noun meaning merchandise, e.g., "I sell antiques," "antiques dealer," "antiques store," "Antiques Roadshow".


Antique, the adjective, singular noun or verb, e.g., "an antique desk," "the desk is an antique," "the desk was antiqued.

Can this somehow be incorporated into the article? Just asking. Autodidact1 (talk) 22:44, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oil painting

Inaccuray of top 11 listing

[edit]

A 1998 episode shows a table appraised for $200,000 which eventually sold for auction for over $400,000. I question the accuracy of the notable appraisals list. https://www.pbs.org/video/antiques-roadshow-bonus-footage-seymour-card-table-goes-auction/

Frasier

[edit]

Would it be a good idea to add an "in popular culture" section to this article, to mention that the program features prominently in an episode of Frasier (S7, Ep 7)? Producer Al (talk) 13:14, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
