Devin and Andy visit and revisit classic infomercials and Home Shopping sales pitches. But wait, there’s more! Is the infomercial dead, or has it simply been struck down and gone on to become more powerful than we can possibly imagine? Will a new Ron Popeil or ShamWoW Vince rise to sell us on gadget bliss? Is something a true scam if (almost) everyone knows it’s a scam? Probably! Does the rich satirical culture bequeathed by the infomercial make its flaws worthwhile? Are we doomed to forever search for devices that make food preparation slightly more convenient? Are operators still standing by??
