Some may find it crass for the folks at Media Enterprises to release the final spots featuring iconic pitchman Billy Mays. But I think my colleague Barbara Lippert nailed it in her column this week when she noted that the bearded, blue-shirted one “was a mighty pitchman. His work deserves to live on.” This Mighty Tape effort is par for the course in terms of the Mays canon: it’s goofy, loud and fun, TV sales mania at its middle-brow, mid-budget best, with the man himself as magnetic as ever.
