    Just watched an episode of Warehouse 13, for a bunch of folks used to dealing with lots of amazing stuff voice recognition GPS really impressed them, a recent episode of Necessary Roughness showcased the suspension on a vehicle as well, I think USA and SyFy are the worst channels for product placement.

    Subway seem to be into a lot of shows as mentioned with Hawaii 50 and Chuck but they are also in Community as well
    Breaking Bad does it as well as I have seen them showing the game Rage before it came out and also this week they were showing off 4 Chrysler cars and then A Tag Heuer watch at the end

    Warehouse 13 flogging Toyotas in every episode is getting annoying.

    Microsoft labels are all over the place in Homeland. Had to laugh when they started putting them on the backs of the notebooks and monitors.

    If anyone watched the latest episode of New Girl, the brazenness of the advertising at one point actually shocked me - banner ads trying to sell you what the characters are wearing is just way too far.

    Stargate iirc had a lot of dell product placement but then again, from working in Dell, a hell of a lot of Dell Computers/Laptops were being made for the US Government/Military, so its not that uncommon to see in Military type shows.

    The Chevrolet ad placements in Hawaii Five O were mad - everywhere you looked - there's a chevy!

    SGA loved using Dell, the laptops would have that covered up on the outside but some showed the logo plus numerous handheld items were used.

    NEC also had a deal with SG1 and SGA for screens.

    The Walking Dead. World over run with Zombies and Hyundai are able to produce new cars.

    Zombie Car Cleaners are also making a fortune.

    The CW in the states seem to have a deal with Microsoft. They are always Binging the web.
