Comic Book Men

I am not going to say this is the best show ever or anything like that, but I enjoy watching nerds talk. It is a funny show. I think the guys are hilarious. I would actually be disappointed if this show went off the air. I was not expecting to like the show as much as I do. The main reason I started watching was because I like kevin smith, but I also like his friends in this show. I hate reality TV. If this show goes off the air, but crap like Jersey Shore remain I will lose all faith in humanity. I am not a comic book fan. I never was able to get into it, but I appreciate them as some of my friends are. This really is a show about nothing. It is hilarious and awesome.

Thoroughly enjoyable show. Includes the banter between between the employees of the store and Kevin Smith (owner) in a podcast like setting; as well as the regular rigmarole of comic bookstore banter.

For those that don't know, this show arose from Kevin Smith's inquiry into a "pawn stars" type for for "geek culture". When they were trying to find a comic book store to cover, the lead developer for the show; on AMC's stumbled upon the highly rated "Tell'em Steve Dave" podcast which includes Bryan, Walter and sometimes Ming (we rarely hear Mike, except when he's hearing complaints for a ringing phone, etc). So for those that are complaining about the break points that lead into conversation, you have to understand that this show was only spawned because of a podcast.

This show is not a pure "pawn stars", and it definitely has some adult content; if you care to watch simple buying/selling... this is not the show for you. If you want to be entertained and get a lot of laughs, you should check this show out. Watch for subtle jokes, because they are by far the funniest (which lies along the lines of many of the podcasts in the Smodcast family, because those short comments the employees shoot back and forth to one another are by far the most amusing.

Like the summary said! Comic Book Men is set in Kevin Smith's trade and barter store based in New Jersey, known as Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash, often shortened to just The Stash. Smith and friends operate the store, solely founded over film and comic book propaganda.

I rather enjoy the show, I am an avid movie and TV fan, and I plan to start reading comic books, sometime later this year. I enjoy trade and barter, it is a subject I have fond interest in it, as you never know what you will see. I don't get the comic book references, but I try, and that's what counts.

Let me put it this way, did you grow up on TV, movies, and comic books? Merry Christmas!

The fact that they do this unscripted is surprising, because trust me when I say that this show is hilarious!

I give the show 8 film rolls.

I'm a big fan of comic stuff, like old superhero's, movies, obviously comics. To me this show actually goes above and beyond I mean, it's literally like clerks but in a comic store. Probably because its directed by Kevin smith but still.

When I first heard about this show my thoughts were "it's just going to be a boring comic book show", but it's not! This show is hilarious and the stuff they talk about is something you can really see yourself doing when you sit around and just joke with friends.

I give it a 10/10 because its just got every element that you expect in a comic book store show and more.

This show is hilarious! I am a female and do not read comic books, and I really enjoy this show. I hate when people say oh you have to read comic books or love Smith to enjoy this show. That is far from the truth. What I do know of comic book stories(which is not much), I get from movies made from them. From the show: I enjoy seeing how much the toys,books, etc. brought in off the streets to the store are worth. I also like when they explain some of the comic books in the show. They sound ten times better than the movies made from them half the time. I think the interaction between the guys on the show is what makes it for me. They are constantly asking each other about crazy hypothetical situations, and in general always saying something hilarious. They have also gotten into some funny situations on the show. All in all I enjoy it, and it conveniently comes on after the Walking Dead.
