I think I saw John Rothman in that ad, also. Most people remember him as the librarian in Ghostbusters, but he was also in three L&O episodes (most notably as a defendant who was stealing money to give to Israel). Can anyone confirm or deny?

Jen, I hope you hang around 23d St. btw. 6th & 7th, because I see ol' Same there all the time. First it was in Whole Foods on what, 25th & 7th

The talk is that TDW is on Schwab's shopping list of companies to buy, since it would allow them to further "leverage the recovery" (get accounts on the books to help cover fixed asset expenses of running a discount brokerage.)

Actually AdAge owns AdCritic. And as for Charles Schwab buying TD Waterhouse... huh? Where do you get that from?

sam waterson called me a liar once. it was sort of funny, but given his TV profession, it also sort of made me nervous.

They should enjoy the ad contract before TDW gets sold to Charles Schwab.

Sam lives in Chelsea, because he's been seen at Whole Foods a lot and at the Barnes and Noble on 6th and 21st, too. Gothamist blalks Sam Waterston!

I saw Sam buying lunch at Whole Foods yesterday. Re:AdAge.com--it's not the poor man's AdCritic, it's just the website for trade magazine Advertising Age. That said, the Ad Age group owns AdCritic.com, but you do have to pay to use it, unlike AdAge.com.

but are you insured against robot attack?

Ooooh, AdAge, a poor man's AdCritic. Actually, I believe they have some sort of connection, since it says "For additional TV Spots online, subscribe to AdCritic.com"

So is AdAge the new AdCritic.com? I think that the two Jerrys -- Orbach and Seinfeld -- should team up and sell NYC.

Orbach could push dog-racing tracks, JC Penny's suits and dance lessons.
