It was pretty funny. And on the subject of Chuck, while I doubt the writers or the fans would go for it, I have to wonder how many fast food, ice cream, and coffee house establishments have contacted NBC to be the next location for Sarah Walker's cover job?

Because Sam would put one there and Dean would throw it out -- LOL!!! I wasn't even thinking about it as a product placement. The Madden game on Chuck wasn't over the top -- Stride Gum on Smallville last season was over the top. The ipod in the Impala was a very clever product placement.

We can only conclude that it wasn't as recalled as much as any of the products in the top 10 which were recalled between 1.8 to 2.3 times average. It's possible GG had some product placements that were much better than average that didn't make the list, and it's also possible that it didn't :-) Tyler, I agree with you, and I loved Strahan in that episode. Buy More is pretty much product placement for Best Buy as it is, but that's another story... Angie, can’t really jump to that conclusion due to lack of data.

Not only were the stands in the background, but the whole Morgan Sub-Plot revolved around the game! Chuck’s product placement for Madden ‘09 a couple of weeks ago was far more over the top!

No one recalled them? HA! But, but . . . you mean all the awesome clothes and high-end items on Gossip Girl weren’t on the list? No one recalled them? HA!
