Enjoyed the finale. Been watching the marathon all day. It was a nice way to end the season and pay tribute to Billy.

If they come back for another year, maybe it'll be a mix of new inventions and trying to find the next great pitchman.

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

I didn't realize how long they have been in the business. Nice tribute and I hope it comes back.

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

All the awkwardness I felt at the beginning when they were showing Billy's amazing life was made up at the end with that touching tribute.

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

They could bring in Billy Jr III to replace Billy...

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

Yeah, this season/show will really be a great archive of his career and who he was. Hopefully there will be a nice DVD release.

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

DSC ran an ad for a full-on Mays tribute show on July 9th. I'm looking forward to that. The package at the end of the finale was superb.

He seems to lack his father's charisma. He strikes me as a more of the behind the scenes type.

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

I enjoyed the finale as well. I'll have to record next week's tribute show.

Did anyone catch Anthony's line, I think it was in the next to last episode, where he said Billy looked like he was fixing to have a heart attack. That was a little awkward

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

^Especially with Shark Tank coming up.. and I believe BBC is still running their inventor's show, too.

I've also noticed an resurgence of Shamwow and Slapchop commercials.

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

I saw an episode of Pitchmen practically the week before he died. I hadn't ever put any thought into the guy, didn't even know his name, till I told a bunch of people to check out the show that week. It feels like I just lost a new friend.

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

The tribute show was nice. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm really going to miss Billy Mays.

I didn't get any indication that the Pitchman show was done. They seemed to skirt around the issue. Not that I expected them to say "Next Season On Pitchman....". But there was no reference to the "final episode" or being unable to continue without Billy.

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

Also near the beginning of the show they said something like "this will be the last season of Pitchmen with Billy Mays..." or something.

I thought the tribute show was a bit much. The end montage of the last episode said enough.

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

Well I hope so.

On the other hand, it could be a great Wow Demo for the "What Odor?" spray.

:lol:

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

You know what Billy Mays is getting for Christmas, don't you?

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

Has anyone watched Season 2?
About 7-10 episodes have aired and while not as interesting
as season 1 it has still bbeen a fun show to watch.

Sully has Been using Kennedy as is partner for most of the season.

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

I have no idea who Kennedy is and what qualifies her to do this job. From what I was able to gather, she works for MTV or something?

I'm glad that they are finally airing the rest of Season 2. While most of the stuff is junk, it's still interesting seeing everything that they have to go through to get it on air.

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

She's an on-air talent? I've never heard of her either.

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

You've never heard of Kennedy? She was on MTV in the 90's and I believe she had her own radio show after she left MTV.

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

Also hosted several games shows on GSN for a bit.

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

WTF? Kennedy of all people is involved in this now? All I remember is vague bits from the 90's, glasses, and hosting Friend or Foe.

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

Not to mention being the least talented VJ ever, and that's saying something.

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

The show is dead anyway.

Re: 'Pitchmen' on Discovery
 

I had no idea this show was back, but I used to have a crush on Kennedy back in her MTV days.
