Holy fuck, Josh! I hope everyone relying on Boxcutters for TV programming info in the US reads the update on the post. If they don't, I think we're gonna have a lot of 'splainin' to do to the Lost fans who miss out on seeing the last ever episode.
Of course, local listeners relying on our audio TV guide are safe.
Tristan: You're a real person, yes? No caps, run-on sentences and a URL often gets a comment tagged as spam. I'll check out your link and perhaps get on there and show 'em a thing or two… though I'm not sure how realistic it is to be programming AND selling ad time in the one position. I could explain to the ad sales dept why the programming decisions are wise but I hate the cold calling.

Brett was talking about the excessive product placement in 'Bones'. I found it particularly out of place when they referred to how awesome Avatar was going to be about seven times in a single episode, including a sub-plot where two characters were queueing up to get tickets for a screening. In a cinema.
On the topic of Toyota product placement in 'Bones', wait until you get to the episode where Angela and Hodgins get ARRESTED while demonstrating how awesome the stay-in-the-lane-guide-jobby in a Prius is.
I kind of get the impression that there's a competition among the writers to come up with the most insane piece of product placement. The winner gets, like, a slab of coke. And no I'm not talking about the soft drink.

I'm a spam-bot, not just a student with poor grammar.
John Richards says:
Hang on, if Tristan says he IS a spam-bot does that mean he ISN'T? Or is it a double-bluff? Oh, I'm so confused…

I think the Turing test just went “Tilt!”

I had a note to mention it but didn't get there: The obviousness of it in Bones is almost at the level of how they do it in 30 Rock, which is about making a complete joke about how ridiculous it can be.
I still quite enjoyed Happy Days when Fonzie was a teacher and Joanie and Chachi went off and shacked up in their own spinoff love nest, like I am with Bones, but it had definitely lost what made it special before the literal shark jumping.
I've got some other some other shows that popped into my mind just now that I wonder if there was child based shark-jumping:
Diff'rent Strokes and Family Ties both seemed to do it with the introduction of tepid little white boys with bowl haircuts and I don't recall the precise incident that turned Helen Hunt into a neurotic, whiny fucktard and destroyed quite a good little comedy in Mad About You but the ads at the time about the 'event television' seemed a little overblown because all it seemed to be was Helen Hunt crying on the floor.
And it was definitely when that Giblin-eyed blonde humour vacuum got her hooks into Jack from This Life in Coupling. People that unconditionally declare their fondness for that show come under close scrutiny from me as to whether it's worth wasting any more time speaking to them. It's that ones that stand up to the examination that make me really wonder about why it's such a blind-spot. There's a certain dread that hits me whenever I see her in a show and I'm yet to find an instance that doesn't turn out to be shit. Who are the people giving this woman work? Perhaps the strangest thing is that she's not the worst thing about Worst Week.
