While the show is fine, the level of Ford product placement is simple amazing.
Is it as good as it was on Alias?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think Eureka centering a whole plot around deodorant is still the bar-setting example of product placement.

The most blatant White Collar one I remember is when Elizabeth had to demonstrate how the car could parallel-park itself.

I remember an NCIS episode where they framed a shot during a tense standoff with a closeup of the star's hand framing the Ford logo.

Community had some amazing product placement for Subway.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That was the one I was going to say!
I've been mostly offline since 10 last night so I'm sorry for the delayed reaction, but: Is every big choice going to be unprecedented from now on? (I refer, of course, to the superbowl.)

Yeah, there's that one. Lots of lingering shots of the 'SHO' badge. Lots of shots of the center console when placing/getting calls. Using the seat massagers. Etc.. It doesn't really bother me that much, but it's kinda funny.

Dirty Jobs had a Ford truck, and Mike Rowe would occasionally pause to look at the truck and say things like "that's a tough truck, isn't it." At the end of one episode he said "We haven't done our product placement shot yet, so here I am in the parking lot, next to the Ford truck, admiring the sunset."

I've been watching White Collar too. Mostly because I can't recall much of the final two episodes and I am pretty sure I didn't see the season finale. Luckily, ION is showing it pretty much constantly.

The good news is that I don't think I have a cold. That means the sudden pounding headache and the non-stop sneezing don't have an obvious cause, so the leading contender is that I was allergic to something at the zoo. I hope it was the cheetah. Or the giraffes.
Edit: I know someone will ask, but I did not try to outrun the cheetah.
