First they re-did "Jeopardy" with a rock and roll slant. Soon they'll give "$25,000 Pyramid" a musical twist. And now VH1 is tackling a musical road show?

According to the New York Post, the popular music channel is taking a shot at their own rock and roll version of the addictive PBS Series, "Antique Road Show."

"VH1 Rock Collectors," unlike its odds-and-ends evaluating PBS counterpart, will stick specifically to the appraisal of music memorabilia.

"There's a real passionate community of people who collect and have stories that fit in with VH1's mission of telling the stories behind the music," said the show's executive producer, Bill Brand.

"We had a woman show up with a bunch of ceramic Beatles dolls with the shaking heads," Brand said. "It turns out her uncle bought them for her when she was a child and probably paid $3.99 at the corner drug store. Our appraiser told her they're worth $5,000 now."

"Collectors" hits the road November 27.
