    I actually thought the idea of pitchmen sounded awesome especially because it was starring Billy, I have seen every episode and have been really let down, Mainly because Sulley sucks... The show WAS more about them bitching at each other then on the actual inventions themselves it seemed, sure it makes for great TV, but I actually wanted to watch because the inventions. In fact the best part about any of the episodes for me have been the first 10 minutes when they decide on a "Marketable" product. If the show had been just Billy hosting I think it would have been 10000x better.

    And yes he was 50 just like MJ..

    He was larger than life and loud as Hell, but there was something actually likable about the guy even if at times it seemed like he was selling snake oil.

    That Vince twit, however, just comes off as a sleazy twit and it came as no surprise that he'd get in a weird mix up with a prostitute while amped up on meth/coke.

    Of course, how could I forget. You want Billy alone, or Billy and some of his products? BTW, you should have asked in the wallpaper thread. ;)

    Finally, something Mighty Putty can't fix.

    ...or...

    Michael Jackson realized he was going to have to face Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates and it would be a hard job to get in. So having little to no options,he decided to hit Mays in the head and get the best salesman he could for the job.

    really sad day :(
