So I've been watching tv...

I have a few House episodes on my DVR I've noticed in some of the aerial shots a UPS truck is almost always parked out on the left hand side.

So this had me thinking.. was the tuck staged for that shot or just happen to be making a delivery at the time?

I happened to watch a Anthony Bourdain commercial touting his "No Reservations" series. In it there's a FDX truck unloading on the sidewalk, weird that its in there, doesn't look staged and that commercial replays a lot on Food Network Channel.

Easy way to tell : if it's dirty, it's not staged !

But, in most cases, companies pay a lot of money for movies, shows etc.
They will drive a Ford, or have a coke machine, etc.
It;s "hidden" advertisement.

Well true House does have lots of Advertisements however one could easily miss the truck.. what had me stop to look was when I saw the white roof and the brown on the side with the gold.

I know in season 1 the truck is in the same spot but one of the other seasons it's not in the spot any longer.

Sorta like Law and order SVU could not miss the P600 right in the background..
