Product placement
« on: July 23, 2005, 10:56:16 AM »
I think 'Feud' was just reruns this month.

Was that Pizza Hut logo on one of yesterdays shows behind the podiums a new, unwelcome feature from late this past season?

(I can ask the same about the checkered flooring but that was okay, esp. if it is a preamble to larger set changes).

There was a Pizza Hut Day a while back that featured a prize of a year's worth of pizza, I think.  It was part of just a special episode/episodes, not a permanent set change.

I also seem to recall that the set changes were left up for a few episodes after the Pizza Hut promotion ended.  It was probably one of those episodes that you saw.

Did Karn threaten to double the toppings? :)

It's interesting, but hardly worth getting anyone excited. Just watch the black and whites and you'll see product placement that puts this to shame.

One could go both ways on this subject.  A logo on the set or a bottle of Stopette silhouette on John Charles Daly's cards (or Garry Moore handing a contestant a carton of Winstons, for that matter) is nothing compared to when I was at the MT&R and viewing the really needy, really desperate "Strike It Rich" contestant hanging on to her box of Fab detergent for dear life.  Now that's creepy.
