Really Lilly?

So, apparently before her big Lost fame, Evangeline Lilly appeared in a LiveLinks commercial. And LiveLinks is thinking that by airing those commercials now they’ll strum up more business? Really?

It was funny to see this on Tuesday night while watching an old episode of Friends. Although Lost is coming to an end, Lilly is still the new L’Oreal spokesperson and, as it appears, the LiveLinks one, too.

(I’d like to point out that this is not a sex ad as marked on the video. It’s just a commercial.)

Maybe the economy’s to blame

*Spoiler alert*

One of my friends commented the other day on how all of the ABC season final commercials seem to be advertising death and destruction to each of our fictitious ensembles.

So,

1. Sun and Jin are already gone from Lost.

2. Del’s gone from Private Practice.

3. Each week on Flashforward, someone’s skirting death.

4. Someone’s destine (or at least we’re supposed to think they’re going to die) to blow up on Desperate Housewives.

5. We know it’s Rob Lowe that’s going to be reaching his demise on Brothers and Sisters.

6. Someone might get shot to death on Grey’s Anatomy.

Why are so many characters skedaddling? Is it the economy? Are there layoffs and cutbacks in Hollywood?

Am I wrong?

I think Parenthood is one of the best new shows on TV. I always wondered if there’d be a new Thirtysomething for this generation of thirtysomethings (although this show is based on the movie and earlier television show of the same name). This could be it (well, until someone remakes Thirtysomething, of course). The situations the characters find themselves in are just so true-to-life. And it doesn’t hurt that the kids are just so darn cute, too! So watch Tuesday nights on NBC.
