07.01.09 WHAT’S ON TONIGHT: ‘PITCHMEN’ MARATHON

PitchMen (Discovery) — In a tribute to the late Billy Mays, Discovery has been airing all the episodes of PitchMen consecutively today, and the marathon concludes with the all-new season finale.  And possibly the series finale.  I mean, unless they get Vince the ShamWow guy to fill in.  What’s he up to these days?  Oh.  Right.

The Fashion Show (Bravo) — Here’s a helpful hint: if you need to replace a hit show that stars a supermodel who’s been one of the hottest women on the planet for almost two decades, you don’t get one of the back-up singers from Destiny’s Child to fill the void.

Necessary Roughness (CMT) — Oh, Kathy Ireland… Why did you never grace us with your nudity?  Your shower scene in this film is such a cruel tease.

The Real World: Cancun (MTV) — Joey and Ayiiia don’t get along, so Joey does what anyone would do: he spits in Ayiiia’s food (watch the clip here).  Golly, reality TV just makes the world a better place, doesn’t it?

RENO 911! (Comedy Central) — This show has been on the air for six years, and I still can’t decide whether it’s brilliant and hilarious or stupid and unfunny.  I’m leaning toward the former, but it really depends on the episode.

…and E! Channel FTW — Tonight, E! is airing “50 Cutest Child Stars: All Grown Up” followed immediately by a new one-hour special dedicated to Michael Jackson.  It is the first subtle thing that E! has ever done.  Pedo Bear stimulates himself in approval.
