Review of how CBS is advertising its new sitcom "Out of Practice" on drugstore prescription bags and water coolers; Discussion of how NBC is pushing the reality series "Three Wishes" on 100,000 actual dollar bills; Reports that some marketing experts see the new move to unconventional marketing methods as an unspoken admission from broadcasters that their commercials are weakening as sales tools.
