Watched it because we had nothing else and just stumbled into Con Man. Very short episodes, but it pulled us along until we were really looking forward to each new odd ball episode. I do hope this is coming back. It had a great cliff hanger. Recommended if you like wackiness that is played straight and somehow makes you think this could really happen--but, please god, don't let it.

Damn. This is hilarious. I love the agent/booker, she's a blast. Tudyc is such a pompous ass in this. I don't know wether to root for him or not. He brlliantly plays both sides of a likable douchebag. Props to the short gay guy, the successful best friend, frodos buddy, the guy who wants his pen back and every other character in season 1. Hope to watch season 2 now. Looking for it.

It seemed like Con Man took a couple of episodes to find its tone, but once it did I began loving it. Yes, it makes fun of people attending cons, as a previous reviewer noted. It makes fun of people who work at cons. It makes fun of people who book cons. It makes fun of people who act in shows whose fans attend cons. In other words, everybody in this show is a little bit clueless and/or venal and/or crazy - and yet they're all likable and familiar. This isn't Great Art, but it's a hoot - and playing spot-the-SF-star is half the fun. (I had to look up "Dale," the elderly "lady stuntman," who turned out to be a Romulan commander from the original Star Trek. Like that.)

I was excited as any fan to see Alan Tudyk and many other stars come together on the screen, but that excitement went away as soon as the storyline started. The script and the humor of awkward situations quickly gets tiresome. The acting of Alan Tudyk and the woman who plays his convention assistant seemed forced. Sean Astin and several other characters were entertaining though. And oddly enough, the only time me and my fiancée really laughed was when the thank you credits got started. I don't know why that was so funny. I hope the next couple of episodes improve. The fourth episode had me feeling like they were making fun of the people who attend conventions. It left a bad feeling.
