An ‘bargain-hunter’ show for geeks that’s fun for its novelty but still drags
While strolling around my Netflix, I came across a show that I had missed during its run on television. It’s a geek-centric show called Comic Book Men, put together by Kevin Smith and featuring him and his friends as the “stars”. I put stars in quotes because the whole series is basically a bargain-hunter program but instead of the antiques and crap in the attic that they try to sell on other shows, this one revolves around nerd-items such as comic books, toys, artwork and the like. It all takes place at Smith’s shop in New Jersey, though he is present only for the round-table sit-downs they shoot to act as buffers between the show’s various sales.
