Welcome to another Question of the Day. Today's question comes from Rachel who asks

"What is your favourite Promotional Artwork for a Show"

Wow, awesome question, and I have so many. But my favourite 3 are Lost, Dark Skies and The X-Files. With The X-Files just winning.

    I loved the promo posters for the most recent seasons of Mad Men and Breaking Bad.

    Mad Men Season 4: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2010/06/mad-men-season-4510.jpg

    Breaking Bad Season 3: http://www.daemonstv.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/BB_final-550x814.jpg

    And Lost was great too, especially Season 1, 4, and 6.

    Yup, cool tagline and great use of colors, awesome poster. They also had a cool spoof of an Obama ad on Times Square for the third season:

    Breaking Bad had a lot of great promotional artwork!

    One word : Fringe. I can't believe I'm the one bringing it up given all the other questions of the day have 20 answers with Fringe into it, but this time I do believe this is the most accurate answer : they have amazing wallpapers, done with such great taste. And they do plenty of promotional photos, much more than all the other shows on Fox.

    Lost, season 6, The Last Supper in all versions because there were so many clues. For some reason, I am unable to paste them here. Also this Fringe poster is interesting.

    Yeah I'd seen those other ones :) Not house though :) that one is quite awesome
    What I meant was that the shows were pretty similar (cult following an' all) and it was just a year between them, basically I would have preferred if Lost had done something more original :L :)

    TB released like10 or 12 posters each of the last 2 years.. most are pretty good, but they are more "inside jokes" that people that don't watch the series wouldn't understand as well.

  20. darqMarch 1, 2011 at 4:43 PM

    Ahh, Yeah I see what you're saying. I knew I had seen one or two others... I had no idea so many series had done a Last Supper poster. It's almost like every show has to do one at some point ...

    Darthlocke:

    Well LOST always had great ones, but I also love BSG's Season 4 "Last Super" promo-pic. It's probably my favorite.

    I also like some of the season 3 promo art for FRINGE, especially the one's were the characters are inside the restaurant/bar and the window behind them reveals things happening in the alternate universe.

    True Blood's seasons 2 and 3 were also cool. And Boadwalk Empire's is just fresh and classic not having the characters in any season promo art, however I imagine this might change next season.

    Well, I thought of some more good ones.

    There were 2 awesome promotional pictures for The Wire:

    This one for The Pacific is great too:

    There were not that many great ones for Oz, but I like that:

    I love the Fringe glyphs. True Blood, Walking Dead, and Lost have great promo art as well. I also like the X-Men (series from the 90's) artwork. I also saw a shirt once from Eastbound and Down that said, "If at first you don't succeed, then maybe you just suck." That was pretty cool. I still like the Cornholio mugshot from Beavis and Butthead (glad it's coming back).
