Pitchmen

Pitchmen is a show on the Discovery channel that shows the wonderful world of Info-mercials. The show came to an abrupt end in 2009 with the death of Billy Mays, one of the stars. Billy has been in such info-mercials as Oxy Clean, Mighty Putty, and Orange Glow. The other main star, Anthony Sullivan, has been in such info-mercials as The Swivel Sweeper.  The show did come back this year, but with Anthony Sullivan (Sully) working alone.

The show consists of Sully meeting inventors with their inventions, and seeing if the invention is worth manufacturing and making a info-mercial on the product. Only two to three inventions make it, out of the hundreds, or even thousand that Sully goes through at invention conventions.

Sully and other co-stars then go to the streets for product testing, to see if people would buy it, use it, how much it should cost, and possible improvements for the product. This is where Sully gives the final verdict on whether its ago, or no. And about 75% of the time, its a go, and then they shoot the info-mercial. Then Sully brings back the inventor to tell them if they've made it to a million or not. And again, about 75% of the time the inventor makes a million. The show is full of drama, creativity, and people making it big time. They may even be products where you say, why didn't I think of that? The show airs Tuesday nights on Discovery.
