Anyone care to hazzard a guess how much Subway Sub corporation
paid to CBS in order to get that 3min of commerical as part of
the story? Everything from "$5 foot long" to Jarred was mentioned.

I *love* Subway, product placement is one thing, but as part of
the story line??

It WAS pretty obvious. I mean, at least Chevrolet puts commercials on the
program to cover supplying all the vehicles used.

That was the longest product placement I've ever seen.

At least the Windows 7 placement on last night's show wasn't that bad.

True, but it's so nice that all the 5-0 folks are now using pad computers
rather than just the smart phones :-)
