Adding to the already flooded market of "how much is my crap worth" shows like Pawn Stars, Auction Hunters, Oddities and the original Antiques Roadshow comes Comic Book Men.
If you're Kevin Smith fan, you'll probably like this, but for the rest of us, this comes across as a stale formula that is already being done on the Travel channel, for crying out loud.
I've watched two shows and can't say that anyone really stands out, except for a guy who has a ZZ Top Beard.
Basically, it seemed like the show is set up to belittle "customers" who come in to have their stuff evaluated with the prerequisite "I have to check with my buddy who's an expert in (blank)" and then the person is told that their junk is worth nothing.
Then, we switch to a studio where Smith tries to ramp up the drama where we get to make fun of the chump and celebrate the "Men" and their efforts.
I suspect that Kevin Smith supports recycling. It should have the green symbol underneath the header. it look like he's using content from his podcasts and spitting it out as a TV show.
The feeling that these customers have been pre-screened a hundred times and coached is pretty strong here. I just feel bad that a bunch of dumpy middle-aged guys need to feel better about themselves at the expense of even dumpier dudes......
40 year old virgin already taught me what the value of an Oscar Goldman doll is. I don't need these guys telling me as if it's secret knowledge.
In the words of their animated forefather: Worst Show Ever.
