"I loved Mike and Frank together! My husband got me hooked on American Pickers but we don't watch anymore since Frank didn't return," wrote another former fan. "Just not as fun to watch anymore." Other people echoed that sentiment, that Wolfe needed Fritz to balance him out. "You could see the camaraderie and a friendship between Frank and Mike. The dynamics have changed and yes you could see Mike's ego getting larger. I won't tune in till Frank gets what he deserves," wrote another fan.

In his interview with The Sun, Fritz held tight to the notion that he is the "bigger" draw for the series and viewers are more in tune with him on screen, making him a fan favorite. "I'm not arrogant and I'm more of a regular ol' guy. The guy that connects with me is the guy who buys a 30 pack of Busch Light and a pizza on the weekend," Fritz says. "I'm more of the common man guy, I haven't found a $100,000 vase or any Michelangelo stuff. I've never really had a big, big score like that. But all the small scores are the bread and butter and that's my deal." Honestly, he was right. Can American Pickers survive without him if it's quickly hemorrhaging viewers?
