5.0 out of 5 stars behind the scenes of TV products, September 8, 2009
This review is from: Pitchmen Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
This is a great show that takes you behind the scenes of the products you've seen on TV. Interesting stories and even more interesting inventors. Also behind the scenes with Billy Mays, who recently died. I found that part especially interesting.

There is a lot of work that goes into making an "as seen on TV" product a success and this series does a good job of showing the process.

I hope that they do a second season of this show because it is very good!!
