That one really annoys me- hardly seems like a good portrayal of Prius drivers. If you're going to drive up to a fast food place to load up on fat and carbs, might as well do it in a big-ass SUV!
Now that one is cool- a driving dog!

Well, Brian is the smartest "person" on that show. Well Stewie (sp?) is smart, but has a vicious streak.

What I find most irritating in the Subway commercials is that they dubbed a std V6 engine over when they pull forward to the window since apparently most people wouldn't be as accepting of a Prius quietly moving forward. When they're ordering, you can hear an "engine" idling as well.

Why go out of the way to use a Prius if you're going to make it sound like any other car?

In the movie "Babel", Japanese street scene of cross traffic under an elevated railway = Silver.

Sunday May 6 on "Desparate Housewives" = Silver.

I think the programs are featuring Silver Prius to make up for all the Toyota Pomotional Materials and Commercials with Silver Pine Mica.

I remember seeing a Prius in "40 Year Old Virgin" when the drunk woman from the club is ripping around town.

In the movie '10 Items or Less' with Morgan Freeman, Danny DeVito, his wife and their black Prius have a small cameo at the end of the movie. In the DVD's special features, the director talks about making a conscious decision to have Danny DeVito in his Prius instead of his Mercedes.

Just saw a Prius on the new show "Carpoolers". The thing that made me look at the screen was the guy saying "Press start"

I just finished watching it too. The Prius got a lot of screen time, both the exterior and the interior of the car. In one of the scenes, it looked like the had the MFD turned off.

Prii have been on "The Closer" several times, most recently when one was wrecked and down over the side of a cliff.

In "WEEDS" not only does Nancy Botwin drive one, she drove it in a drive by shooting. After that her gangbanger boss U-Turn bought several for his guys, because you can "sneak up quieter" for the drive-by shootings...LOL!

Don't forget Larry David's Prius in HBO's funny comedy series 'Curb Your Enthusiasum'.
It's in almost every show I've seen.

Also Ed Bagley drives a Prius in 'Living With Ed'.
