The brothers put their differences aside to revive the business along with the help of the mall security guard Boyd, childhood friend Bernie and property manager Rayna.

Reviews

siavash_khavarnejad This show had a good idea behind it of being a Canadian comedy series with a geeky heart. They were obviously trying to be a kind of a Canadian Big Bang Theory but just couldn't pull it off. The acting is pretty ham and the writing is not very funny. Not a winner of a TV show but not the worst either.
mrryanscott-15530 The acting was over the top and the writing was not good either... I didn't like this show.
rj parr I thought I would like this show and really hoped that I would but I just could not get into it at all. I did not like most of the cast or maybe the problem was how the characters were written or some combination of those two things. Either way however I just did not find them or the show at all funny. I thought it was very juvenile but at the same time not very much fun. As a lifelong collector of comic books who has always loved comics and the culture of collecting and hanging out in the local comics stores, I thought a show about a comic book store would have a lot of fun and funny moments but this show did not deliver on those for me.
SnoopyStyle Peter (Ryan Belleville) followed his father with his love of comic book nerdness. His brother Terry (Paul Campbell) escaped by going to Harvard business school. The opposite brothers are forced together when they inherit the family comic book store. Bernie (Lauren Ash) works next door in the clothing store.The humor is hit and miss. There is some fun but especially this is a good fun brother relations. Lauren Ash is the stand out and the discovery here. It has the feeling of a good indie production. It lasted 8 episodes and I could have watched a few more but I doubt more than one season. What's needed is an injection of more popular geek references. It needs better writing.
