Willie "Bibleman" Aames' new and humbling television show, Broke and Famous, airs on VH1 Thursday night, and according to Entertainment Tonight, the former Charles in Charge star's Johnson County garage sale -- filmed for the VH1 show in March -- will be featured on the show.
I was there with the Pitch Action News Team -- read about it here and here -- and it was really uncomfortable. Fawning housewives picked over the former Eight is Enough star's possessions and sang the Charles in Charge theme. Aames just sat there haggled over prices for mounted animal heads, DVDs and a Teen Beat, which the Crap Archivist bought for $3 (read all about the transaction in Studies in Crap and see Aames reminisce about touring with Hall & Oates after the jump). And here's the day in photos.
I knew it was bad, but I didn't know how low Aames had sunk -- until Rugg asked to use the restroom.
"Actually the house has already been foreclosed, and I think all the
utilities have already been shut down," a crew member told Rugg.
"Sorry."
Awkward.
ET recently asked Aames about it, and he says now:
"I didn't want the whole world in my front yard, haulingthrough my memories." But with a negative $60 in the bank, he had no
choice. "I was afraid I was going to lose my dignity," he recalls. On
the plus side, he made close to $5400.
But he sold his prized lion head. Take it away, Crap Archivist:

"What a bunch of jack-asses and snobbery the Pitch has become."
LOL....That's what the Pitch ALWAYS has been. You're just upset because they're making fun of someone that you like.
I rememeber when this yard sale happened in Kansas City the media was all over it and to see it on VH1 should be very interested, we talked about it when it was on the news over at: http://www.garagesalestracker.... I look forward to seeing it on tv!
Have you read the captions on the pictures? Someone has some pretty low self esteem to write that kind of garbage.
What a bunch of jack-a__es and snobbery the Pitch has become. Tired of the crap you make out of even good real life stories. W has shown that he can and has grown beyond life's hard times and curve balls and you're still stuck in your muckety mudd being irrelevant and thinking your trash talk will be interesting. --doing the same 'ole thing, eh?
