Comic Book Men on AMC with Megos

[samurainoir]

Wow, I didn't realize they would go that far down the rabbit hole of geekery. If this show does become a success, how much closer does that make a reality show based on the Mego Museum when they come looking for the next one? Shoot the pilot at Mego Meet.

I just wanted to punch every single one of them (even Kevin Smith, lol)...especially the long bearded dude...he comes across as an obnoxious jackass.

Believe-it-or-not they have a podcast and are about 60% more unlikeable. The show was also way too long. 30 minutes w/plenty of commericals seems about right.

I myself might come across as an obnoxious jackass here on the boards too...but I'm not like that in real life...I'm actually kinda quiet...lol.

I like your posts and tend to agree with you...so you are in good company.

The flea market segments almost sent me into a coma...lol.

The Mego/SMDM segment was cool...but then it was ruined by the fact that the Megos were totally ignored.

It's Pawn Star for geeks...but focuses too much in their between "bickering" and jokes on each other...it gets annoying after a while.

But it was the pilot...I'll give it a couple more viewings.

The blonde chick who came in with the chuckie doll, is a big time baby doll collector......she has tons of them all over her house and she calls all her dolls her family members, she's a bit out there. She was profiled on another show.......

I enjoyed it. For me it was cool seeing the real Dante and Randall (Walt and Bryan) in action. I can't be too critical because it's 'reality TV' where all of them are staged and nothing is truly spontaneous. It's the nature of television production.

It was like a lame rip off of Pawn Stars. I did drool over the SMDM and Megos though.

I just finished watching it and that was my exact thought.

[TEXASFETT]

I thought the show kind of sucked!

[Anarchy]

yes and the first guy was our buddy Mozz

I didn't watch the show but from the clip, isn't the guy who bought in the SMDM the guy from Zoloworld, he looks really familiar.

^Did anyone see Kane sketch it? More than likely Shelly Moldoff was under the table and drew it for Kane, right there at the con!!!

Chris

Chris I thought the same thing........ I was like a Bob Kane sketch??? no such thing.....lol

[Anarchy]

it is staged I watched one of the episodes being filmed.

[madmarva]

I'd think that Detective 35 would be worth more than the sketch, no matter the condition. You just don't see them much. I guessing it's easier to find a Kane Batman sketch than a copy of that comic.

All shows like these are staged, but this was so poorly shot that there wasn't even an illusion of reality.

I did enjoy the guy with the beard, breaking the plates at the flea market.

Some of the pod cast banter was enjoyable, and it was funny seeing the movie memorabilia guy deflate the guy with the zombie poster and photos. Maybe they should give that guy a show.

Overall, it was disappointing. I hope Palitoy is right about the show possibly improving, but I'm probably still going to watch the next episode because its got comics and action figures and is on TV.
