Single father George Altman is doing his best to raise his sixteen-year-old daughter Tessa in the big city. When he discovers a box of condoms in her bedroom, though, he decides the time has come to move her to a more wholesome and nurturing environment: the suburbs. But behind the beautiful homes and perfect lawns lurk the Franken-moms, spray tans, nose jobs, and Red Bull-guzzling teens who have nothing in common with Tessa. It’s a whole new world, one that makes George wonder if they haven’t jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.

I have noticed that too, the most embarrassing was the product placement of Surface in Suburgatory. The lead starts blurting our the specs of the product like a used car salesman! It was cringe worthy. They should take a note or two from Nokia on marketing and ad, those are amazing!
Even worse were the ones by Toyota for Warehouse 13, in the show, everyone gifts a Toyota Prius, everyone rentals a Toyota Prius, heck they even had an episode where while other cars are melting down, they drive the Prius through the hot burning lava perfectly fine!
Nowadays marketers don't even care about subtlety, product placements are becoming more and more obvious to ignore!
