Quieter TV commercials, for starters.

No, but he also didn't try to seduce children. That counts for something.

In all honesty, I've been watching Pitchmen and I've found it to be a pretty entertaining show. It humanized the sales guys and showed what they go through. He seemed like a pretty cool guy, and he was willing to poke fun at himself and his role (see the ESPN commercials).

I'm surprised Frankilin has not made an appearance...perhaps, he's too busy spending time in the Cub forum and creaming himself.

Maybe this presages a return to the fold by Don West. And then we can get Taz to take his announce spot. Hmm, this could work

Inarguably the least-surprising celebrity death discovery ever.

Nas, that's the surprising and controversial results of an autopsy which family members aren't so sure really caused Billy Mays' death. There was a promo Thursday on "TMZ on TV" in which Harvey Levin and his crew were supposed to talk about auditions to become the next Billy, but the story was shelved as a result of the surprising results of the autopsy and toxicology reports obtained by TMZ.com. Although the report claims cocaine was in Billy's system days before his body was found dead at his Florida home, family members are disputing that the white stuff was in his system the day he died.

Do you think they're going to clearance out some of the merchandise with his mug on the packaging?
