Subject: I know this might sound a little odd.

Back in January I got the Verizon package deal. One of the tv channels I get now is the Pentagon Channel..............yup there is one. Last night I was flipping channels and stopped there cause they were talking about Bellasaurus Productions. Then they mentioned Jag and NCIS...the piece was about how the military helps tv shows get their facts straight and how they participate in other ways . The last part of the piece was how they work with the Stargate people. They showed Amanda in a flight suit and sitting in a jet and Ben Browder getting to go up with a member of the Thunderbirds team and said that the Navy helped with the part in Ark of Truth where a nuclear sub is seen with the conning tower sticking up through the ice at the Artic Circle. They also talked about how the people from NCIS try whenever possible to use actual military facilities and personnel and mentioned how some of the "extras" in some scenes are actually sailors or marines. It was very interesting.

[> On that note, I always thought it was kinda funny how they manage to show U.S. Air Force commercials during Stargate episodes. "Join the Air Force, and you too will be an elite interstellar Gou'old-fightin', planet-hoppin', Lost City-findin', soldier/brainiac/archeologist/smart-aleck colonol(sp?)." If only life imitated art. -- MariMata, 13:42:06 03/23/08 Sun [1]

[> Do you remember the JAG ep(s) that revolved around the Navy commercial that had Harm in it. That one was a good one but for obvious reasons couldnt really be used. I always wondered why we never saw any real Navy ads during the shows commercial breaks -- Nonnaru, 18:03:08 03/23/08 Sun [1]
