“Come Monday…” is a
weekly series that will involve a review of, or commentary about, websites, movies, documentaries, television
shows, sports, music, and whatever else may tickle my fancy at the time. Be assured that these reviews will be
generally positive, as in accordance to the Jimmy Buffett song “Come
Monday.” This is subject to change,
however. In fact, I would be most
derelict in my duties to neglect going on a rant every once in a while. For rants promote change, and change can be
good—right? Therefore, since good is
generally considered as being a positive force in 99.3% of the parallel
universes that I am aware of, even a rant could be considered as being
something positive, and a genuine hissy-fit would be even better (so I’m told).
[AMC’s The Pitch] is a new show about real advertising agencies competing for business
that I have watched the first four episodes of.
New episodes are currently airing at 10 p.m. CDT on Sundays, and they
are repeated at various times throughout the week.
Be
assured that I plan on watching the remaining two episodes on the schedule, and
I hope they make more. For I find the
process rather fascinating.
Another
thing that I really appreciate is that a finished advertisement from a previous
episode is often aired in a commercial break during another episode. I am not sure just when it first aired, but
the following is by [SK+G], who won over [The Ad Store] in the [second episode].
No,
The Pitch is not a show for everyone, but I do think there is enough to keep
quite a few intrigued. If anything, it
may make some very grateful for not pursuing a career in advertising. For working very long hours for very little
recognition seems to be more of the norm than the exception in the business.

Oh my yes, advertising...the many faces and trials of it all....advertising is and will always be upon us. My mother refused to purchase anything with a label or writing (why would I ever pay to advertise someone's stuff?) that was her motto! Funny how the ways of our parents linger with us.... ! I really enjoyed this Monday Review, thanks....!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great show. Talk about suspense!
ReplyDeleteI just can't get in to shows like that. I like the commercial for Waste Management though
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Karen!!! Did your mother only purchase homemade things from individuals? Quite honestly, I am very visually-oriented, and what I consider to be a great label will draw me to a product. On the other hand, seeing what I consider to be a really stupid commercial for something will most definitely influence my decision, and there seems to be a stampede on stupid going on these days.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Fisher!!! Well, I wouldn't necessarily call it suspenseful, but they do focus on the pressure of having so much at stake.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! Arlynda doesn't like it, either, but in all fairness, with her having to see every episode of Storage Wars at least 50 times, she doesn't have the time to.
