The TV Zone

Per Discovery, "No decision has been made regarding season two of PITCHMEN. The network is focused on supporting Mays' family and friends during this time of incredible loss."

This Wednesday's marathon airs from 11 a.m. throught 10 p.m., when TDC will air a brand new episode.

Per TDC: "To celebrate a man who was larger than life, the network will run tribute promos honoring Billy Mays and never-before-aired moments throughout the day. A slate will also be added to the end of the season finale in his remembrance.In addition, a special tribute show is being planned."

(Will this show go on next season? I can't imagine that it could in a million years - even with Billy's co-pitchman, Anthony Sullivan on-board. "Pitchmen" is SO much Mays' big personality.)

Can you believe it? Bear Grylls actually met his match out there in the wild wild north.

Revenge? That's your word. Not mine. Far be it for ME to make light of someone's injury.

But as you may/may not know, Bear was hurt over the weekend. Badly? Sounds like a broken shoulder which to anyone else would be catastrophic, but to Bear a scratch. He is, as you "TDC" fans know, host of "Man vs. Wild." He eats a lot of stuff that you and I would never eat (but then, we're girlymen; he's BEAR). Some people have accused the dude of fakery. Imagine!!!

Honestly though, this guy has done so MUCH in a pretty young life (I think he's in his mid-30s) that it's kinda surprising something worse hasn't happened...

Here's the TDC statement, and a quick refresher clip of the Bear follows...

Bear Grylls was injured on Friday night while on an independent expedition in Antarctica. He was not filming for Discovery Channel, but was taking part in an expedition for Ethanol Ventures to promote the potential of alternative energies such as bioethanol. The expedition was raising money for Global Angels, an international charity that champions the needs of children worldwide and that Bear has supported for the last few years.

While on location, Bear sustained a fall that resulted in a shoulder injury. Bear is currently on route back to the U.K. to get the medical attention he needs. Once he sees a doctor, we will have a better sense of the level of seriousness of his shoulder injury and the recovery time needed to get him back to his full physical activity. Bear has a strong religious faith and a loving family to help speed his recovery. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bear as he makes the long trip back to the U.K.
