If it's good, I don't care what the topic is.

If it's more like big bang theory than silicon valley, then no. BBT is terrible. Silicon Valley is awesome however.

No. It doesn't sound intriguing to me.

no...
Haha! While I certainly understand the appeal of BBT, I don't personally watch it. I mentioned it more for clarity, by which I mean there are no other "geek-type shows" really out there. So the show would be the adult version of that. More like Silicon Valley. Make sense?
I'm with you, man. Even though I see the appeal, I'm not a fan of the show. I just mentioned it as an example because there aren't really many other mainstream shows that include the "geek" crowd to compare it to. We're trying to stay as far away from BBT as possible. So more like Silicon Valley or The League, except it's not about football lol!
Could you elaborate? What would make it more appealing to you?
no...
Could you be more specific as to why?

It stars characters who are going to be real people. Instead of being represented as stereotypical science nerds which is a tired and old concept. To quote a scene from Mallrats: "Come on! You f***ers think that just cause a guy reads comics he can't start some $h*t?!"
I'm just trying to get a relatable story out there that just so happens to involve people who are geeks without them being caricatures.

Unfortunately we live up to the wider culture's stereotypes of "geeks/fanboys/fangirls/nerds" around here everyday.
Progress has to begin somewhere and I'm trying to do my part with this show. At the end of the day we're all just people who are passionate about the things we love. It sucks being marginalized. But to be fair, thanks to the abundance of superhero movies and comic book related shows over the last 15 years, it's much more common to be a geek than it was when I was a young lad lol!

Good for you for wanting to make the effort. All I am saying is look around places like the Hype or others where the hard core genre fans congregate. Far, far too often we do express ourselves in ways that show either borderline psychopathology, unbelievable credulity, lack of reasonably healthy people skills, obsession over meaningless minutiae or a combination of all those plus even uglier stuff thrown in there. My point is, what you are proposing should also delve into the culture and individuals warts and all. I think those that watch SV would say they do a good job of showing the underbelly of tech world and the personalities it produces.
It's been my experience from I would say the first time I ever went to a StarTrek convention and then working at comic book shop in high school, and my time here at the Hype, that far to often, as a group and as individuals, we live up to the caricature out there in the public. I wish we had some more self awareness, and maybe a show as you are proposing would contribute to that. But it would have to grapple with the "negative" aspects in the fan world. Not to mention... That's good fodder in terms of themes, drama and delving into your cast of characters and their stories.
That is excellent advice, good sir. I will definitely keep that perspective in mind as the show goes along. All facets of the nerd culture need to be represented and I will do my best to make that happen. I've also worked at a comic store. Some great memories there. The thing I enjoyed most is still what I enjoy now. It's the in-depth conversations about the stuff we love. There's just that sense of community whenever you talk to fans. Even the ones who go into a nerd rage, which I'm guilty of as well lol! I'm thoroughly enjoying the era of superhero cinema that we're in right now. Never thought we'd be here. Anyway, if you wouldn't mind following the show page on Instagram, I'd appreciate it greatly. @trinitycomicstv

It certainly is a far cry from what it was. There is literally a nerd industrial complex that exists today that was barely a twinkle in the community 's eye about twenty years ago.

Is it a sitcom? Give us a little more details on characters and plot
No it won't be a sitcom. It'll be a one-camera show with a cinematic style like Legion. Even though it's a comedy, we want it to be very high in quality. The color palette will be vibrant. The characters are 3 friends who own a comic store. The main character is trying to date girls who are into cosplay in an effort to find his true love and get over his ex. It's a coming-of-age story in their 30s lol! He'll realize that there's more to love than just being compatible. That's the show in a nutshell. I can't divulge too much more. Feel free to follow the Instagram page @trinitycomicstv
