The internet has been all a flutter about those "What Did You See" spots that ran during each commercial break of this evenings Lost. Surprisingly, not many people seem to know what they're talking about even though the Hollywood Reporter ran a story about the ads last week.
The show hasn't officially been picked up by ABC but they probably wouldn't be wasting some very expensive ad time if it weren't gonna run the show, would they?

And does anyone know what show was playing on the TV in the hospital waiting room just before Eloise Hawking shows up?
Being a DVR addict, I rarely see commercials...Usually just when I'm in the midst of doing something with the TV on in the background, not really paying attention, or when watching something on the DVR and not being able to find the remote come fast forward time.
For the last two weeks I had been seeing the Greg Grunberg (Matt Parkman) Insight commercial during Heroes and then today I just happened to catch it during a rerun that was playing while writing a previous post. This evening while watching Law & OrderGossip Girl on the DVR I was scrambling to find the remote and wait...is that Hayden Panettiere on this cell phone commercial?
Youtube...search...Hayden...how the hell do you spell that?...Panettiere...at&t...It is!
And then there was the related video, another Insight commercial featuring Chuck's Zachary Levi. Huh. NBC stars are really getting out there. I wonder, though, if this is all just coincidence or if NBC is making deals for it's actors. The fact that both Greg Grunberg and Zachary Levi are in commercials for the same car, in the same ad campaign, makes me think so. But where does the phone commercial fit in and why haven't I caught it on NBC yet?
Update:5/05/09 Just caught a new Neutrogena Deep Clean Cream Cleanser starring Hayden Panettiere. She's actually been a spokesperson for a while now, but this is the first new one in quite some time. Funny, too, is that it aired during Gossip Girl, the same show her cell phone ad ran on.
DVR Life is a TV blog. We watch lot's of TV. Mostly on DVR but also streamed, downloaded or on DVD, basically anyway you can possibly watch it with the least amount of commercials. We try to stay away from the "Next Week On..." parts of shows and avoid spoilers at all cost. You'll never see spoilers on this blog. We don't pay much attention to reality television. It's rare that you'll read about it here.
A note about times: DVR Life is based on the east coast, so all times refer to Eastern Standard Time. If you live elsewhere go ahead and delete an hour or two.
A note about reality tv: This blog is about scripted television programming. That's what we prefer. We may mention a reality show from time to time in relation to network news or in an off handed comment but that's about all.
If anyone would be interested in doing, say, a weekly column about reality tv, we would not be against that. But we don't watch it so unless you're willing to write it...
