For Pitchmen: for Sully, for Billy in Heaven, et al:

Take a step back, this is the end
but a start to a new beginning.
Say goodbye, thank you for watching
it’s been a pleasure showing you our lives
for the past few years. Two seasons.
We’re all like a family now.

Who knew what the world’s fate planned
when we were busy making them.
Who knew the differences
between season one and season two.
Friends, lots of them
were made and thankfulness brought
because of the one and only show:
Pitchmen.

Billy Mays, Anthony Sullivan.
Two of the best pitchmen around,
best friends who went at the show together.

It was going to be something special
and heading towards something big.
Fate? What fate does to us, sometimes.

We miss him, you; Billy Mays.
But we want to thank you, thank you
so much.. so much for everything.
Thank you for the Pitchmen love,
thank you for the years of the show
thank you for the memories
and for the friendships.

You’re the strong tie that sewn our lives together.

We wish you well with your future,
Mr. Sullivan.
Just know, we’re always here on your side
and will always want to be a part of your life.
Please continue share your work with us.
We are forever grateful.

If you guys follow Sully on Twitter (@sullyontv) he mentioned that Pitchmen is definitely a no-go anymore and it’s really the end of the show. Even though, I knew it in my heart of all hearts it was the end, it’s still sad and it will still remain my favorite show ever.

Sully, Arwen, B3, Sug and everyone who was involved, I hope you’re reading this because…

Thank you for the memories.

Thank you for changing mine and Dan’s life so much – especially when you allowed us to meet you.

When we met all of you, it was one of the best days of our lives. Thank you.

Thank you for opening your lives to us.

Thank you, Arwen, for naming me your Queen. That still means a lot.

Thank you for the friendships that we have all formed because of your wonderful nature and presence.

Thank you {friends} for the many, many TinyChats and for giving me summaries of PS2 when we got rid of cable.

Thank you for the many status updates and pictures of products and the DR life.

Thank you to all of you who talk to me in some way and/or follow me and allow me in your lives. I respect the direct response industry so very much and all of you. I enjoy following the subject.

Thank you for being so friendly and making us love Florida so much… that we moved here. :) It’s a beautiful life here.

Thank you – for everything.

I hope to be working with you guys one day – you know – when I am writing commercials and such.

I love you all.
