Oh, for the good old days when you didn't NEED to DECIDE what to watch.

You wanna talk about product placement? Pick up some of the released archive DVDs of those old television programs and you'll get the idea. Cigarettes, wristwatches, cigars, laundry soaps and the list goes on. Did I mention cigarettes?
