What was once one of my favorite shows to watch is quickly becoming average due to certain stunts such as this one. It is hard to not give in to advertisers for a quick buck, but I wish that some of the better shows available would refrain from doing so.
I have a few select shows that I make sure to watch on a regular basis. I find that the first few seasons are typically the strongest as the shows have something to prove. The more popular/mainstream they become, the more likely they are to lose some of their edge, and thus their appeal to me. Season 4 of Californication, one of my favorite shows, started a few weeks ago. Last night the third episode of the season aired on Showtime, and I was extremely disappointed with both the episode and one particular scene. One of the characters said, "If you need anything, you can call me, text me, skype me, tweet me or even Facebook me." This show has never been one to advertise like this, although I have seen this occur in many other shows and movies.
