There are two new shows out that I'm enjoying so far.
First, from a "fluff" standpoint, is "Pitchmen" on Discovery Channel. According to DC, this is what the show's about:
Pitchmen follows the adventures of Billy Mays and Anthony "Sully"
Sullivan, two of the most famous and successful pitchmen in history, as
they search the world for inventions they believe they can take all the
way to the big time. In each episode, this odd couple of pitchmen
partners become potential dream merchants for the inventors they
discover; most of whom have staked everything they own, and then some,
on their inventions. For these lucky individuals, Billy and Sully
falling in love with their products and deciding to pitch them to the
masses could be the turning point that changes their lives forever.
Most of the eccentric characters the pitchmen shepherd are all-in,
risking absolutely everything in the biggest gamble of their lives.
Will they fall short or, with Billy and Sully's backing, run their
gadgets all the way to glory?
It's fun to watch and I have to say that I've been amazed with some of the products. I've truly been debating whether or not to buy the "Impact Gel" shoe inserts. And the GPS Pal, despite not hitting it big in that format, is still a great product that I think is very useful. I hope it continues to sell the way it is. Anyway, it's a funny show, you get to see how the "magic" of advertising is made, and if they'd only take out the "drama" and "conflict" that is always forced on a reality show, it would be even better.
The second show, "Deadliest Warrior" on Spike is described thusly:
Each week on Deadliest Warrior, a new episode will pit two of the most
feared warriors civilization has ever known against each other. Along
with the use of 21st century science and the latest in CGI technology,
each episode enlists warrior-specific world-class fighters and experts
to provide insight into what makes these combatants tick, analyzing
every facet of their unique skills of destruction, culminating in a
head-to-head final fight between two legends of the battlefield that
will produce the deadliest warrior. Other highly-anticipated showdowns
this season include: Pirate vs. Knight, Taliban vs. IRA, Yakuza vs.
Mafia, Viking vs. Samurai, Green Beret vs. Spetznaz, Maori vs. Shaolin
Monks, William Wallace vs. Shaka Zulu and Ninja vs. Spartan.
I missed the first episode, but did find out how it ended. I watched the Viking vs. Samurai and accurately predicted the winner, and why. But it's awesome to see how each warrior compares to the other, and how the odds play out. Sometimes, like with the vikings and samurai, the two sides are so equally balanced that it's a very close call as to whom would be better.
If you ever get a chance, these are 2 shows worth seeing at least once.
