I noticed that the Mortons have a bank of $1000 a pop Battle Born LiFePO4 batteries and are also appearing in their commercial.
And I noticed that in that commercial, it identified them as "Morton's" on the move. Arrrgh.
Then again, that's pretty authentic because almost every sign that people put in front of their RVs uses that execrable apostrophe: The Smith's.
I wonder, though, if there are two types of commercials on shows that buy time on a network. Like in this case, there were some that were pretty clearly "Discovery" commercials, like Arby's, and some that were very specific to the show, like for the batteries. Maybe that's why there were so many--two different sources.
But surely that would all be spelled out in the contract, so it shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone involved in the show how many commercials there would be. Maybe they thought Discovery wouldn't be running any of their own??
And to be honest, some of this was the show's fault. After every break, they came back with a "This show is sponsored by..." thing, which is, of course, a commercial. That's on them.
