I don't know what it is, but I like this show. Maybe because you get to see Billy Mays as a regular dude, vs. someone reciting lines in a loud voice. I've also always been facinated by infomercials.

I really had no idea who Anthony Sullivan was before this show. I'd only seen him on TV once for the "Point and Paint". I didn't realize he was so big in the infomercial industry.

Yeah, I didn't get into this one. I thought I would, based on the promo's but something didn't click for me.

Same here.
Saw the promos, thought it'd be great.
Watched one episode, thought it was interesting- never really thought about the business behind $19.99.
Watched a second episode, and thought "Haven't I seen this already?"
Watched part of a third and fell asleep.

I watched a few episodes of Pitchmen one night and I thought it was entertaining, I'll watch it again. It's not nearly as compelling as Deadliest Catch though. Maybe Pitchmen could use some Vince Offer.

Kari is still hot, I never noticed the ring but a ring does not diminish one's hotness, this might be because I've been married for 12 years.

Still hot, but the ring takes some of it out of it. Somewhat dependent on personality.

Last night's episode was the season finale...taped before Billy Mays passed away. He RIPPED on the ShamWow and SlapChop! It was actually really funny how fired up he was.

They did a nice bit of a tribute towards the end of the show. I'm not sure this show can go on without him. They guy really was the star of the show.
