[akimbo]

Can you confirm which ones are local?

I think I missing Toyota, NetZero, Ameritrade, MovieTickets.com

[Kerlin]

Confirmed for PetMeds. I got a DirectTV commercial, but it wasn't WWE Backlash, it was about free installation.

I didn't get an Ameritrade commercial, I think that one was local too.

[Kerlin]

Adding: confirmed also for Scot Trade. I had an MSN8 ad there.

*edit: I only saw one Nissan Sentra ad, in the last commercial break.

First Nissan ad was for the Xterra.

Net Zero is the only other one left besides the ep sponsor Toyota - can't believe we haven't had them before

[Kerlin]

Should have clarified that: I only saw one Nissan ad at all, for the Sentra, and in the last commercial break.

Working on NetZero.

Mark R. Goldston, CEO and President

I've found a page with contact information for investors in the company: http://www.irconnect.com/untd/pages/icontacts.html but I'm not sure if that's what we're looking for.

I think that settles the Nissan question - looks like the XTerra ad was a local one.

Still nothing on NetZero, though I think Brian Woods, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, would be a better name for it.

[blue]

Was the guy with the little head local? (The fitness guy). Maybe it was always local but placed all over, like our second ad.

[akimbo]

Fitness guy? Don't remember a fitness guy.

I alphabetized them, gotta go find Toyota.

[CosmicTheorist]

And I saw different local ads then the ones listed by blue. Otherwise our ad lists match.

Isn't this the FIRST time that a midnight rerun has had an episode sponsor? Could we be having an effect after all this time and all the letters that have been written?

;)

[akimbo]

Its the first rerun I've seen with an ep sponsor - I missed a couple though. It is kind of strange for a rerun.

I think we're good :)

I'll look for better Toyota stuff in the morning. Must Sleep!

[CosmicTheorist]

Got this address from Advertising Age's "100 Leading National Advertisers".

Toyota Motor Sales USA
19001 S. Western Ave.
Torrance, CA 90509
tel: 310-468-4000

These names might be still valid, but need to be checked:

Steve Sturm, VP marketing
Scott Grant, national advertising manager
Steve Jett, national car advertising manager.

Then again maybe they no longer work for Toyota.

Good luck.

;)

[Kerlin]

I distinctly remember thinking it was odd that a midnight episode had a sponsor. I haven't seen them all, though - can people who have been doing the other midnight episodes chime in and say if any of their eps have had sponsors?

[jadeshand]

Personally, I think that is some pretty high-powered sponsors for a canceled show's reruns. Before, I remembered things like BowFlex and that pyschic woman who got in trouble with false advertising.

Just a thought.

[Ammit]

I don't remember seeing a sponsorship note during the other eps, but I've also been fast-forwarding. Unfortunately, I just deleted the last four episodes from my Tivo yesterday, so I can't double check.

It seems to me that if Toyota is sponsoring episodes, they need a big thank you. =)

[CosmicTheorist]

This is DEFINITELY the first rerun episode with an episode sponsor. Toyota needs to get lots of Scaper love for this. I also checked all the midnight showings during the new episode showings. There were 2 midnight showings that had episode sponsors, "Prayer" and "Bringing Home the Beacon".

I wonder what it means, that is if it means anything. Anyway, it is interesting.

;)

[10SCgal]

HEY!!!

Toyota was the SHOW SPONSOR!!!! last night.

As I posted on Skiffy: Tell me that it isn't unusual for a CANCELLED show airing NON-PRIMETIME to have a SPONSOR -- and Toyota at that!

I own an '89 Celica and am brand loyal -- and now even more so since Toyota's supporting Farscape.

Toyota, I love what you do for me -- and my favorite show!!!
