List of television shows about marketing - Pitchmen, etc. ?
With the non-reality shows, it's interesting to see the screenwriters take on copywriting -- while with Pitchmen, it's nice to see Billy Mays explain the finer points of direct response advertising.
Here are three shows that I know of...
1. Pitchmen was a huge success for the Discovery Channel. (with the death of the beloved Billy Mays I doubt it will have a 2nd season)
2. Mad Men, a show about 1960's Madison Avenue advertising men, is also a huge success for AMC.
3. Trust Me, a TNT show is built around a modern-day Chicago advertising agency. (I've heard it's been cancelled)
4. Shark Tank, An American version of "Dragon's Den" starting August 25th on ABC. Mark Burnett's new reality series where budding entrepreneurs get to pitch to venture capitalists. The Investors (aka The Sharks) get to tear apart bad ideas much like bad singers get torn apart on American Idol. - abc.go.com/primetime/sharktank
