Subdude Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I can't find it online, but there is a current print add for Deutsche Bank that has a little collage city in the background. The Fulbright tower is the dominant building in the skyline, with what may be Two Houston behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) Well... haha Its kind of embarassing how I stumbled across this. Its, shall we say, an Adult Movie Studio. I'm not sure what the other half of the skyline belongs to, but I see 1 Shell, Wells Fargo, and Heritage Plaza.

TheNiche Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Tonight's episode of SNL just aired footage of giraffes from outer space bombarding the Houston skyline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLWM8609 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 In the newly cancelled "King of the Hill", there's been a few episodes that bring the characters to a cartoon Houston. The skylines didn't look quite right, but I think in one episode, they got the color of the police cars right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 So I have fallen in love with TLC, and all their mysterious programming (Woman with the World's Largest legs... Bless her heart).Anyways, I was watching "The World's Fattest Man" or something, and he lives in Monterrey. But He use to live in Dallas, and of all 15 clips or so they showed of Dallas, only about 3 were Dallas, all the rest were Houston! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Just saw another one -- The executive chef from Brennan's on a commercial for the Art Institutes culinary program. Looks like it's a tie-in sponsorship for that Food Network program where they take people out of jail and teach them to cook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbigtex56 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Houston was mentioned on 30 Rock this past Thursday - "Too humid", according to Jack. (How desperate are Houstonians for approval?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimberlySayWhat Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) I recorded a program on PBS last night. It was a concert of music producer David Foster featuring artists who've recorded his music. There was a nod to Houston, not by name, but Boz Scaggs came out on stage to sing that song "Love Look What You've Done To Me" from "Urban Cowboy" and the Houston skyline was visible on the stage's giant screen throughout the song. I found a video: Edited December 1, 2008 by KimberlySayWhat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 There is a series on UK television called "The Ascent of Money". Tonight there was a segment on Enron that had a lot of footage taken around Houston. Downtown of course, but also along West Gray and in River Oaks (to illustrate the wealthy lifestyles of Enron executives). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff8201 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 In the newly cancelled "King of the Hill", there's been a few episodes that bring the characters to a cartoon Houston. The skylines didn't look quite right, but I think in one episode, they got the color of the police cars right. Wow, they finally canceled it? There were though a few episodes I liked. I remember when that show came on back when I was in Middle School... somewhere around 13 years ago. Yea, I remember one when they have to go to a Hospital in Houston... we have so many hospitals, all with names, but this one was simply called "Houston Hospital". Maybe they didn't want to play favorites with the hospitals... or maybe the writers were just too lazy to do any research on Houston at all! Or maybe I'm just overreacting ? Houston is kinda like Rodney Dangerfield at times... We get nooo respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, when they have Dale in his innertube on the river in Arlen fall asleep and suddenly wake up in the Houston Ship Channel, the writers can probably be forgiven for naming the hospital 'Houston Hospital'.

The video is available in on the website. Catch it while you can! http://abcnews.go.com/WN/ I think it's a great idea. It got some national attention on Yahoo news a few days ago as well.

20thStDad Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Stupid Sam Houston race park two guys race-peeing at the urinals made the funniest commercials tv show. Yes, my parents have the remote. But I brought my wireless router to their house to keep myself entertained. If America's Funniest Home Videos or Who Wants to be a Millionaire comes on I'm gonna find some errands to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moni Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Our local newspaper is running an Ad for small business owners to celebrate the # of years they have been in business, I am pretty sure this has something to do with the SBA. Anyway, the background for the Ad is the old Enron Towers. Very cool pic but I don't see what this has to do with small business. I expect this Ad to appear around the country with no credit to Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
