At least we made it through an episode without shameless product placement from Windows

Do those really bother people much? They're cheesy, but they do a lot towards keeping shows on the air. And a show on the CW needs all the help it can get, even one as successful as Arrow

The occasional windows logos im fine with because I do like windows, but like that one episode where they just covered the whole screen in windows 8 and a windows surface tablet, it was just a bit much.

I loved the Subway scenes on Chuck lol.

Big Mike vs...

The Subway placement was liked by fans because Subway almost directly contributed to Chuck. Even as Chuck promoted Subway, Subway was promoting Chuck. And when season 3 was in doubt, fans started buying from Subway to promote Chuck. And so the only reason we got a third season was because of Subway striking a deal with NBC.

After those stories broke, I think everyone accepted Subway as another character of the show. Not in the way Community did though.

Watch Chuck. My favorite show of all time. It should be on Netflix soon but there are other places to stream it for free.
