Comic Book Men (2012–2018)
5/10
Good for nerd interests but obviously and poorly scripted reality TV
24 February 2014
Warning: Spoilers
The conversations between the staff members are funny at times but they seem forced. I would like to see more of a "fly on the wall" version of the conversations. In saying that, they all end the same way. Bryan says something cynical at the expense of someone else (usually Ming), Walt laughs that Seth Rogen-y laugh and a customer comes to the counter. Cue awkward random person remembering his lines about why he is selling that item and the ridiculous price haggling. I'll never understand why someone would sell their rare item to a store on TV when you could easily sell it online and get that higher price for it. Is selling items on eBay that hard really??? Oh and don't forget Rob Bruce, the guy who magically knows everything about everything: year released, units sold to the public, current market price, hell, even the production company's CEO at the time! To top to all off, Kevin Smith asks at the start of each episode, "What happened in the store this week?" Well, there's a lot going on in one week Kev, you're all wearing the exact same clothes in the pod-cast segment of every episode...
