    Did anybody see Bones tonight? They featured the Prius V with AT in the beautiful Blue color. Great show + Great Car equals a great time.:)

    Was it seamless or poorly product placed? I'm sure some of us recall the Royal Pains (USA) episode where she almost broke character to advertise the Prius, touting it's solar roof, etc. Reminded me of the movie "Truman Show"

    They did not mention the car, just the adaptive cruse control and shot of the car driving down the road. It was driving directly into the camera.

    Yeah, it was pretty blatant product placement. However, Fox has had 2010s on several episodes of several shows. This is the first time I've seen them feature it though.

    Yeah, I liked seeing it too! Sure looked familiar, except for it being blue and all. Bones really seemed to enjoy her ride and really put it in a good light. I'm surprised she's not a member of Priuschat- oh wait, she's a fictional character on a tv show huh??? ;)

    There is a Blue V that is owned by a family on the Lam in Desperate Housewives. The sad part is the family is on the run because the wife a environmentalist whack job killed a man because of her cause.

    Great link violent environmentalists wackos with the Prius. :(

    well, "Nancy" (Mary Louise Parker) from "Weeds" also owns and drives a Prius, and is always shown driving it around. You think Showtime is trying to link the Prius with Drugies/Drug Dealers?? I don't think so.

    The opening scene showed the metallic blue prius V AND a pacific blue Rav 4. These are the two EXACT cars we own. Wondering what the odds of that are?

    The show Modern Family also has a Prius on it for some time now, it is driven by the red haired lawyer who drive one in real life also.
    Anyone notice any other show that has the Prius on it?
