Yes, it was on for about 5 seconds, on a plasma display in Lex Luthor's den.

Nobody told Jim, Prolific, or I, so I didn't get a chance to see it.
I would have set my TiVo to record the episode if I'd known about it.

Not trying to offend anyone, but why would they tell that it would appear? My money's on GM not getting that many calls or e-mails whenever there's a Chevy on the TV...

You're probably right on that aspect. Someone that works on the set has probably seen it somewhere and thought it woud look good and just set it up without thinking it was any big deal.

I say screen savers should have the same rights as TV programs!
Whenever they show a TV clip, it all has to be arranged ahead of time and rights have to be granted.

I'm not complaining. They're welcome to use it.

Yeah, free publicity is a great thing. Now lets just hope that everyone who saw it takes the time to find out what it is and where it came from, and doesn't just think it was something cooked up by someone on the set.

They didn't even have a mention in the credits on where to get it.

Web Addy
Everyone is up early and posting, i see.
They should have a web address at the bottom of the screen so people know where to get it. PBS will do that when they have something on their website relating to what the viewer is watching.

There's also a (Quick Ca$h?) commercial here in Phoenix that you can see the screen saver on.

Dang Pat, you're being extra helpful today...
I don't watch commercials.
