I watch Comic Book Men sometimes and Smith seems like a pretty decent guy. I don't think I really enjoy his films though - tried watching Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back once and turned it off after the first 5 minutes.
My wife and I love
Comic Book Men, and I like most of his movies. Recently, I had asked the clerk at the comic book store we patronize if he ever watched
Comic Book Men. His response was, he had tried to watch it, but thought they were making fun of guys like him who work in comic book stores. To each his own.

Huh. It's weird that he would think that, because I always viewed Comic Book Men as a celebration of people who enjoy comics. The hosts really seem to know their stuff when it comes to that kind of thing.
But then again, I'm not really a comic book connoisseur myself - I just watch the show because I enjoy seeing people be passionate about their interests.
On the other hand, I know that if they ever made a show like Comic Book Men but centered around the anime subculture (which I'm a part of) instead, I wouldn't watch it if I detected any hint of insincerity in it.
