Comic book men tonight on AMC after Walking Dead

[lugnuts-migration]

They should re-title it "The Toy Boys."

 

The best part of this show is watching the commercials for the Walking Dead.

I stopped watching; a bowl of oatmeal is more exciting.

What a joke.

Well, that seals it for me. Tonight's episode only confirmed that this is the worst produced show I've ever seen. I will not be watching it any more.

The Travel Channel's Toy Hunter was the antidote to Comic Book Men. I can't say enough good things about tonight's show. (I've never heard of or seen it before.)

 

The guy was enthusiastic and not one scene was centered on making an imbecile out of someone else. Everyone who appeared was having fun and loved toy collecting. It was impossible to watch and not get jazzed about Super Powers, Star Wars, Thunder Cats, and the like.

 

Basically it started with a budget, traveling to seek out rare toys, and ended with a booth at New York Comic Con. Good high quality TV, one hour that flew by. (thumbs u

 

 

 

Man, I was just about to post about this show! Very entertaining. The guy was obviously a knowledgeable insider, and loved the hobby. It reminded me a lot of Hollywood Treasures, which is also a decent show. Do you know if that was the first episode of Toy Hunters? I'd like to watch more.

I really don't know. I just happened to flip over to it after watching Justified. So hopefully it will keep that timeslot.

I hate to preach to such a large choir, but I must say this was a huge squandered opportunity.

 

It could have featured a high end shop with a knowledgeable, insightful staff having real substantive conversations about our hobby and the comic industry. Instead it's a bunch of hyper-stereotypical comic dorks with limited real knowledge having conversations about what superpower they would choose.

 

The Asian guy is the closest they have to normal and they treat him like he's the outcast.
