LOST's "Oceanic Airlines" Promotes "Eli Stone"?
ABC is using its fictional carrier "Oceanic Airlines" from mystery series "LOST" (which returns for a 4th season tomorrow night at 9:00 p.m.) to promote its new legal series "Eli Stone" which airs Thursdays at 10:00 p.m., after "LOST." Check out this new press release from the network.
ABC PRESS RELEASE:
Oceanic Airlines is excited to announce your chance to get the Golden Pass.
The Golden Pass truly is an adventure of a lifetime, allowing you to fly anywhere in the world, anytime you want, and as many times as you want.
For more information on how to get your Golden Pass, tune in to the premiere of "Eli Stone" on ABC Television Thursday, January 31 (10:02-11:00 p.m., ET)
Oceanic Airlines is a major airline carrier and offers the highest caliber of service for international and domestic flights.
Destinations include Los Angeles, London, Sydney and South Korea.
ABC are obviously doing their best to give the quirky Greg Berlanti drama all the promotion they can. Incidentally (or not) a controversy has erupted over the pilot episode's storyline that draws a link between vaccination and autism.
Lawyer Eli Stone (played by Jonny Lee Miller) argues that a mercury-based preservative in a pharmaceutical company's vaccine caused a child's autism.
Dr. Renee R. Jenkins, the president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, tells the New York Times she worries that the implication "could lead to a tragic decline in immunization rates."
Will all this positive and negative publicity help the freshman drama build the buzz it needs to initially succeed?

The Eli Stone program is a dog. Not even placing this pilot following Lost and planting an "oceanic airlines' clue in the ads will be enough to give this dreadful show an audience. Do us all a favor and bury this stinker fast. Crass, no humor, no wit. They even deperately threw in gratuitous sex scenes that were BORING. They got nothing if they have to resort to porn humor. And bad porn at that. Worst of all, the show promoted the urban legend that vaccines cause autism! That is irresponsible. I switched to the Apprentice - this stinker even made Omarosa's antics seem entertaining in comparison. You can find the Oceanic Airlines clue on-line. Spare yourself from Eli Stone.
