    It is mind-boggling to me how Desperate Housewives has stayed on this long. Who even still watches it - besides my roommate? #desperatehousewives

    Guilty secret: I love Chuck, so this news makes me happy...at least until NBC inevitably decides to replace Chuck with an extra hour of Biggest Loser, because that show's a much cheaper way of selling Subway sandwiches. #desperatehousewives

    How odd that blatantly attempting to recreate ER under a different name, despite the fact that I'm the only person I know who was watching it in its 15th year, did not spell instant success.

    Next time, try getting Parminder Nagra. She makes everything better. #desperatehousewives

    wait, wait, wait - if this is possible, then it it possible to get a show on starring the HAL channelling homoerotic toaster from the quizno's commercial as well, maybe solving crimes with the help of his hunky assistant steve or dave or whatever?

    well, I was curious what the impact of the DVR/Tivo was, and here it is - reliance on in-show product endorsement for hour long dramas, and variety shows at 10 so that when you've finished watching your 9pm show at 10:25pm you can jump right in. They're called soap operas for a reason... :)

    What if in the future they create shows AROUND the product. Like, "We have these new frozen sandwiches, I got it... Antarctica, eskimos and scientists join forces to create the ultimate sub zero food!"

    @Gunsetpark: Rest assured - all the big money-maker drugs are for chronic or far milder syndromes than will work on House. House is way too dramatic for whatever antacid/erectile dysfunction/depression stuff they're totting on tv.

    @DenOfEvil: First of all, there's a ton of money in depression meds. All those state institutions buy meds - like atypical antipsychotics.


    Second, on House, it's always something minor that leads to the nastiness. Someone might show up with seizures, palsy, paralysis and bloody stools, but it winds up being something benign like esophogeal erosions.


    A little Nexium will fix them right up.

    Subway has "a few folks we work with in Hollywood who we consider our secret weapons." He declined to name them, "because we prefer that they remain secret."


    I'm guessing that one of them is the guy from Chuck.


    I'm guessing that one of them is Wendy Farrington.

    Who really holds a sandwich on their forearm like that? Must've been pushed by the Subway rep who was present at the shooting of the episode. "Yeah, make sure he holds it stretched out on his forearm, because everybody knows a person's forearm is exactly the same length as their foot, and the sandwich is called a Footlong, hello metaphor! This is NBC so we really need to spell this shit out."

    @Arceus: He's holding it the way some dads cradle a newborn ("football style" is what the parenting books call it), perhaps as a way of getting women-with-ticking-biological-clocks to associate Subway with having kids. Genius!
