Who needs cable when you have Mr. Universe?

Has anybody seen that new Direct TV commercial with Alan Tudyk? Man, I feel bad for the guy. It would be one thing if it were like "Hi! I'm TV's Alan Tudyk here to talk about a great offer from Direct TV!" No, he's cowering on the floor during a bank robbery while his buddy programs his Direct TV from his cell phone. Is there no justice? Nathan Fillion has a new detective show and Summer Glau is the freakin' Terminator while their former co-star is stuck hawking the equipment you'll watch them on. I can't put my finger on it. When Felicia Day sells washing machines (or Cheetos to put in washing machines,) it's cute. But when Alan Tudyk says how neat-o Direct TV is during a bank robbery, it's just sad.

Or not. I'm sure that commercial netted him a lot more money than I make in a given month.

I think the other guy in that commercial is from the USA show Psych.

PLUS I saw a direct TV commercial starring Ron Perlman as Hellboy in an office meeting. Freaking great. So maybe Direct TV is paying okay?

I forgot the Hellboy one was also a Direct TV ad. That one's pretty clever.
