    Yeah, I admit I rolled my eyes at the time but apparently evidence is now popping up that the Frankenstein item was loaned to them by the guy who "bought" it at the end.

    you can't get away with anything anymore....

      These guys were more entertaining when Kevin Smith was telling stories about them years ago. Shoulda left it alone.

        Never trust anything you see on TV. Rule of thumb when watching 'reality' tv: be mindful of the angles. In all of myt years of covering news events and such I have yet to have the camera in 'just the right spot' to capture every spontanious human emotion / reaction that happens. It's not possible. Unless of course there is a "Take 2".

        Plus considerng 1.) ebay and 2.) the saturation of Antique Roadshow, Auction Hunter, Pawn Stars" type shows I find it hard to believe for even a second that anyone with old toys or comics would simply say "$.25 and you got a deal! I just want to get rid of this junk!" 15 years ago? Sure. 10 years ago? Maybe. 5 years ago? Slightly possible. Now? No friggin way.

        Ad to all of this, Kevin Smith had the mythos of being 'one of us' who happened to make it. Problem is with his on going lack of expertise about anything comic book or toy related the fourth wall is indeed broken and the fanbase is fracturing... not a good idea Mr. Smith, you're proving yourself to be the worst kind of geek of all; a poser.

          So true. I will always be thankful to Smith as the guy who lobbied for, and then respectfully brought back, Ollie as Green Arrow, but this show is horrible. I've tried to watch it multiple times, but it never gets any better. Just self-absorbed goobers aping it up for the cameras. Garbage.

          I think they need a hot, nerdy woman on this show. Like Kari Byron on "Mythbusters." Get rid of the man-boobs Santa Claus wanna-be and bring in a hot redhead in a tight Spiderman t-shirt. Instant ratings success!

              I DVR it and skim through it. I forgot last weeks' but it was available on my cable system's on demand.

              I like to see the collectables and fast forward the other stuff.

                Everyone keeps giving me grief for watching it and then complaining about how horrible it is. But it's like some sick trainwreck that I can't stop from watching. Those guys are the worst.

                  I think in this regard it's like Rush Limbaugh's secret to success. His show didn't grow because of his loyal followers as it did due to his haters. Sadly for this show these guys don't have enough appeal, charisma or apparent talent to keep it up. I can see the final episode lasting a full 44 minutes with nothing but a stationary camera on a tripod filming these guys sleeping at the counter. It'd be about the same as what' s happening all ready.

                    I wonder if this show is going to be picked up by AMC. With The Walking Dead finishing its season next week, I really don't see this fitting with their other shows such as "Mad Men" when it returns later this month...

                      LOL! You are on a roll, Jim! Seriously, everything you have been typing is 100% on target.

                      See, they need to bring in the hot woman. Instantly make the show better.

                        Ha Ha Ha. Same here, I watch it after The Walking Dead. I think it's entertaining.

                          I just chatted with somebody who says the garage sale was likely faked.
                          that was obvious as soon as they were there filming.....you think they are going to buy valuable stuff like that at a tag sale and put it on TV where the seller might see it and then try and sue them? everything about the show is staged. i find myself fast forwarding through most everything now except what staged items people bring in to selll...just cool to look at the stuff. i doubt I will continue much longer with it

                            I enjoy looking at the items as well even if they are staged. I don't really like the show but as was already said; I've admittedly seen every episode.
