Con is a terrible show. Why are they running it again? When I came on here to complain about it I figured it was just a bad new show and now I find out that it was on in like 2005? Maybe that helps explain why it seems old and unpolished but why on earth are they rerunning this again when judging by how bad the show obviously is and all the negative comments and votes here people obviously didn't like it so why are they rerunning this again? they should bring back new episodes or reruns of flight of the conchords or something else instead, or old kids in the hall or Monty python or sctv, comedy channel here in Canada just can't seem to get it together, all their shows suck.
On top of the fact that Skylar is a complete douche bag and his cons are unimaginative, his schemes require way to much preparation to make any of his scams worth while. Without giving away any spoilers (as if it matters with this piece of crap) his cons are such a sham because it takes the effort of days and days of planning, and the use of multiple accomplices and an entire camera crew etc. just to scam someone into a service that would cost less than a hundred bucks.....in addition if you read in the credits they re-stage some of the phone calls etc. because they don't pan out...The whole concept of this show is bunk because all of his cons have the cost in both the crew and the effort of ten times the actual cost of the service he is trying to get for free...what is the con?
I couldn't stand this show. so glad it got canceled quick.
I can't believe the Comedy Network (Canada) re-aired the episodes of it they must be so desperate for any programs at all. I'm sure they just got it cheap.
The guy on this show is so annoying and untalented and not funny at all.
He is just so unlikeable, I hated him and even though every scheme was obviously scripted and fake (not to mention stupid) he was such a jerk for pretending to do such stupid stuff and thinking he was cool.
He's not cool he sucks.
My grade, One out of ten.

The show is supposed to be about cons, but if you know anything about legitimate conmen, you know Skyler Stone ain't even close to being one. Instead of conning people for big payoffs, he develops these absurdly intricate plans to get such "great" stuff as his apartment cleaned and a free meal. With the time and effort he puts into these things he could just as easily (or more easily for that matter)do them the normal way.
It's also worth noting that the disclaimers before and after the show sort of take away from any sense of realism that would be present. They flash them so quick you barely get a chance to read, but it does mention that some scenes are staged and that some parties have been compensated for their appearances.
Some "Con man" Stone is. Don't waste your time and hopefully it'll be cancelled.

I think that if you like this show,then you must have an IQ of 1 or lower!Skyler Stone...SUCKS!He is NOT and he will NEVER be a con man.
I am glad they don't show this piece of crap show anymore...the better shows are drawn Together, and Distraction and The Mind of Mencia.
I saw one or two episodes of Con and in the middle,i switched channels because it sucked so bad!he is just a moron who thinks he is a con man...but he is not!Skyler just got lucky with all that crap that he was doing!I recommend that you never watch this show if it ever comes on again.
I may have repeated most of the other things...heh
