Pitch

I loved this show! The plot was inspiring. I find baseball to be a boring sport to watch, but Pitch has made baseball exciting--I can't get enough of it. I disagree with everyone who says this is a show for "feminists." This show has something for everybody. The female lead, Kylie Bunbury, is an amazing actress and her character is incredibly layered, as well as the rest of the cast. As the series went on, the plot got better and better. The relationships develop well, and the chemistry between the leads is electric. They have each other's backs on the field and off, and the pace at which the show reveals story details keeps you engaged. Season two is something to look forward to! All in all, I highly recommend this show.

Canadian born model, actress Kyle Bunbury gives the new baseball show on Fox exactly what it needs to develop into a must see show. Rarely do any of us hit a home right out of the gate; but through patience, consistency and excellent writing television shows eventually give us a reason to watch. It is the same as watching 9 innings of a baseball game; the best games start slow and end with an amazing finish. Bunbury is from Minnesota and finds her center there. A compliment to her and our progressive, gorgeous state. If you're not a baseball fan don't bother turning in because the beauty of this show will be lost on you. Her recognizable, talented co-stars like Michael Beach, Ali Slater, Dan Lauria and Mark-Paul Gosselaar all contribute to the success of this show. Throw in real life commentator Hank Buck for authenticity and humor. Easily one of the best new shows of the season. Go Kylie! We are cheering for you!

Well, the ...alien queen from "Under the Dome" is back in another TV series destined to flop.

With a premise which otherwise might have been interesting (a woman trying to succeed in a sport ruled by men) this show starts terrible, achieving the exact opposite its producers would hope for.

From the very beginning the writers are trying to create an atmosphere of success and awe about their characters and all they succeeding is to make them unlikeable caricatures and to sound ridiculous.

Ginny Baker is "the most important woman in the world", "the whole world is talking about her", she is "Hillary Clinton with sex appeal" and a "Kardashian with a skill set". (Honestly who writes these lines??)

Her agent (played by Ali Larter) is to be hated instantly too. She passed an invitation to ...lake Como from George Clooney and she is the absolute boss of anyone she meets.

It is obvious where this is going, and it doesn't look pretty. I'm seeing some critics praise it, but the consensus among the viewers is negative, and the ratings are low.

The only thing that made me smile a little was the ...appearance of Mark-Paul Gosselaar. Forget the attractive blond-ish lawyer from Franklin and Bash. Here is ...fat and with a ridiculous beard.

Overall: Sometimes writers are trying to follow a recipe, to build larger than life characters, to move the audience with superficial feelings and to lure the viewers into a world of what they think is magic. If they don't actually feel it themselves or trying too hard to create a hype, the result is atrocious and it will blow out in their faces.

"Pitch" is one of these cases.

UPDATE: Despite a ...93% (!!!) positive reviews from critics. This crap is now canceled! Told you from Day 1.

I really liked the first episode look forward to the next one. The show is all about challenge and as a viewer you get to feel that challenge as you watch her pitch. I also liked the way the team is portrayed, to me it seems a lot more like real life, not the predictable anti-women stereotype that I was almost expecting to see in the locker room. Most of her teammates don't mind at all that a woman joined their team as long as she helps them win.

The show also focuses on the coach who is trying to work with the new situation, I enjoyed this character too, and look forward to seeing how he grows as the show goes on. There is a lot of different directions they can go with the show, should be interesting to see how it turns out.

I like this show. I think it has great potential, a strong cast and an excellent premise. It's about time we start see TV shows featuring female athletes. I actually teared up in the pilot seeing the "fans" react to Ginny arriving at the stadium. This show is inspiring. It also has great life lessons in it, about not admitting defeat and finding your own path to pursue your dreams. No two journeys will be the same and I love that this show is highlighting that. I'm excited to see where this show goes. It has great potential to really reshape how we think about professional sports and demonstrate a different society. I wish the cast and crew all the best and hope they take this opportunity to really make a mark with this show.
