    I’d much rather have something up front versus a random show scene where someone buys their kid a car, and the dialog totally shifts to what sounds just like a car commercial.

      I don’t disagree but that’s less of a problem with good writing where the ad isn’t forced or obvious…in fact, it can be much more effective if done that way versus taking you out of the moment and shoving the product in your face like “BUY THIS” during the middle of a touching scene. But at least with The Price is Right, it’s just a gameshow and not some sort of drama or whatever.
