The TV season, like the world itself, was crazy this year. Shortened seasons, cancelled events, a non-existent pilot season, and more stay at home time than most of us ever wanted led to at least one positive - many people got a jump start on their mile-long to-watch list. Whether you have taken a decent chunk out of your list or whether you have enough to last the summer, chances are at some point before the non-fall introduction of the new TV season, you’ll be looking for ideas.
But how are TV addicts to even know all the great shows they've missed under the sheer glut of shows available? Enter Pitch Your Show - Summer Version. It's your time to shine the spotlight on your favorite shows and encourage others to try them. They can be shows that are still on the air or ones that have ended, new or old. So brush off the cobwebs of your favorite TV series and help a fan out. Do you know a show that's perfect for marathoning? Have you come across one that needs a cult following? How about a current show that people should get caught up on now so they are ready for next season?
Pitch Your Show is designed to help people find new shows to watch while waiting for the new season to start, whenever that will be. All you have to do is nominate your show in the form below and tell us why we should be watching it. The best pitches will go into the articles that will be posted next week. All nominated shows will be represented but if a show gets several responses, I will choose the most persuasive ones for the actual article. A link will be provided in the last article so all nominations and comments can be read, not just the posted ones. I look forward to your pitches and a few new series to check out!
1. You must put your name, the show, and why people should watch the show. Please keep all submissions to under 200 words. You do NOT need to know how many seasons, episodes, or where it is airing but more people will watch it if they know these details. It will also help me tremendously when putting together the article.
2. In order to keep the articles fresh, I will be limiting the number of repeat reviews this year. If you have written 2 or more reviews for a show in the past, please do not review it again at this time. I appreciate all the work you have done to promote these shows previously. Check this link if your name is below to see which shows you have already multi-reviewed: Dahne (yep, me too), Ellys Cartin, Emma, Gator Fan, Gio, Kathy Ares, LauraLoo, Luana, Maria Sol, Milo, Missions, Pablo, Spindae, The North Remembers, Tom Scavo, and Tuna.
3. Only scripted shows, not reality TV. Shows from all countries are welcome. You can submit as many shows as you wish but you can only submit each show once. Please remember to keep all submissions to under 200 words each.
4. The purpose is to persuade others to watch your show, so saying "IT'S THE BEST SHOW EVER!!!" won't help. Enthusiasm is only good when backed by detail. Instead focus on why someone who doesn't watch the show should take their precious time to try it. If you can provide multiple reasons to watch, like good characters and great action, that is even better.
5. Nominations will remain open until June 18.
