Enjoyed the show, but holy cow can NBC attack us with any more ads?? Seems every time those women turned around there were more ad placements, more "Lipstick Jungle" inspired how-to's, more obvious attempts to "inspire" a Sex and the City windfall. Not classy.

I feel like I'm watching one giant commercial with a little dialogue mixed in. NBC, pleeeeease just let us enjoy the show. Mmmm-kay?

This show is way too good to have the tacky Maybelline tie in. Have ads but don't tie them into the show in such an obvious way.
Otherwise this show can definitely be a hit.

Think I prefer product placement over 7 commercials every few seconds. It' the commercials that drive me away from programs.

I prefer product placement too. I can't resist switching channels during a commercial break and I hate it when I flip back too late and miss something. I have no one to blame but myself.

Its also good for the advertisers because whether people stream, record or watch from a purchased DVD or iTune purchase people will still have to see their ad. What is good for the advertisers should be good for the show. smile.gif

I often get caught up in whatever I was switching to if there is to many commercials. Sadly I sometimes end up watching a part of two or three. However I haven't been switching around during LS.

Is it just me, but it sure does it seem like there are a lot of commercials during LJ? huh.gif

It just seems more to me than normal. Or possibly I am becoming more impatient? Maybe because I like the show alot and I VANT MORE!

I realize the studios have to make money, but I really hope the ratings go up and commercial pricing goes up, then maybe they can cut back, please.

What do you think?

Typically a little less than a third of the show's time slot goes to commercials. I wonder if they're sticking with that formula right now. huh.gif

I may be the weird one here, but I like the Maybeline commercials. I haven't worn M since my high school years. I wear a higher end brand, but I saw some lipstick/gloss that I will probably purchase. So I guess the commercials are working for them. laugh.gif
