FRANK Fritz has been an American Pickers fan favorite before he was fired, but the show is still using clips from the Fritz Era.
American Pickers' Facebook page posted a clip from several years ago when Frank, 57, was on a pick with Mike Wolfe's brother Robbie, 62.

The post was captioned: "Frank and Robbie get excited to pick through a toy collection even if they have to break through spiderwebs."
In the clip, they were searching through a man's house who had an impressive vintage toy collection, which was Frank's specialty.
As the duo entered the basement, the room was filled with dush and cobwebs.
Frank screamed as he walked to a giant spiderweb hanging from the ceiling in the corner of the room.

Eventually, he was swinging a blue tennis racket at all the cobwebs to get them out of the way.
He said there was a "whole city" of spiders, and he asked Robbie, "Aren't you thinking about where the spiders are?"
This caused Robbie to start shaking off all the imaginary spiders on his back.
BRING BACK FRANK
Fans have shared their desire for Frank to be rehired amid low ratings.

Frank last appeared on the History Channel show in 2020 and Mike, 59, revealed a year later that his former co-host had been fired.
However, Picker viewers are still begging for the fan-favorite to return to the show.
The show's official Instagram account shared several photos of the cast - Mike, Robbie, and Danielle Colby - this week.
Fans took to the comments to claim that the program "isn't the same" without Frank.
One wrote, "Someone will always be missing sadly," and another added, "It's not the same without [Frank]."
A third posted on a different video: "They need to bring Frank back it's just not working."
Frank's last episode was in March 2020 as he took time off to recover from back surgery that left him with 185 stitches and two rods in his spine.
WHERE IS HE?
During his time off the show, Frank lost 65 pounds.
He also told The U.S. Sun that he entered rehab for alcohol addiction in Iowa for 77 days.
Frank revealed his feud with co-star Mike during the 2021 interview with The U.S. Sun.
Frank said: “I haven’t talked to Mike in two years. He knew my back was messed up, but he didn’t call me up and ask how I was doing. That’s just how it is.
"The show is tilted towards him 1,000 percent. I can’t even bend that far down to show you how much.

"That’s fine. It’s like you’ve got Aerosmith and there’s Steven Tyler and he’s the frontman. I found my spot, I’m second and he’s number one on the show. That’s no problem with me, maybe he does have a problem.”
He even admitted: “I think Mike wants to get his brother Robbie in there to replace me. I don’t know why he’s behaving like that towards me."
