Pitch

I was skeptic about this show's success, but I was very intrigued right away. I am a big baseball fan, but I thought it would be too feminist for me. I am a guy that is bigly anti-feminism (not to be confused with sexist) and thought it's focus would be too much on that. Although there was some of that, it focused on the baseball element and that it was tougher biologically for a woman than for a man. Acting is good, love how they can incorporate MLB teams (I thought I saw Andrew McCutchen batting for the Dodgers). Give this show a shot. It kind of reminds me of Arrow, with the constant flashbacks. However some of the flashbacks are very entertaining seeing Ginny's minor league days. Even the style of baseball played by the actors is fooling, because it looks pretty legit, especially with the FOX Sports layout for the games on television. MLB should invest in more baseball TV Series', because this is very good.

Perfect Pitch! Get it!

Ideal show for the #MeToo era. Too bad more people didn't watch. I really enjoyed it.

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.
