It's almost always the 'biggest B-list actor' who did the murder (on Midsomer and others). And over the years I've learned to recognize these people across shows. Had to argue with my wife that the murder victim in a Jonathan Creek episode we saw the other night was Frank from Vicar Of Dibley. I won :)
There are some workarounds. There are old shows, where the product placements are no longer relevant. "Mom! The Shadow says we should buy Blue Coal." (Yes, that's a radio show; how about the Zima sign in a Babylon 5 episode?)
Or old shows which were funded by other sources, like Fraggle Rock.
There are also foreign shows, like ones from the BBC, which aren't allowed to use product placement, or where the products aren't available local.
That said, most kids want to watch what their friends watch. I doubt "The Vicar of Dibley" will be popular among US kids, making my proposal mostly theoretical.
After thinking about it for a bit, if such workarounds prove popular, the provider will likely start inserting product placement into the shows digitally, after the fact. So, umm, nevermind.
