Johnny Smith helped uncover the circumstances of a singer's suicide by taking a look at his old Corvette in the July 24 episode of USA's "The Dead Zone."

That's just one of the featured product placements of the past week brought to you by MediaDailyNews and branded entertainment researcher iTVX.

Other notable placements include the following: When the boys moved to Malibu while their house was remodeled, they couldn't find a single box of Fruit Loops until Turtle spotted one in the cart of Dr. Joyce Brothers on the July 24 installment of HBO's "Entourage." Pauly Shore tried to find the right girl by going to a friend's dinner party where they played the game "Cranium." Pauly, however, thought that there are better ways to have a good time in the July 24 episode of TBS' "Minding the Store."

A 1994 black Mercedes factored heavily in the investigation into a judge's murder as well as the disappearance of his son in the July 25 installment of TNT's "The Closer."

T-Boz and Chilli took some time out from visiting and calling potential replacement singers by shopping at F.A.O. Schwarz in New York on the July 27 premiere of UPN's "R U the Girl."
