If they need Tom to sell the "we're not crooked" line, well it doesn't really make me feel better about the scheme.
OT: Anyone else tired of seeing the Tom Selleck reverse mortgage ads?

Its Tom Selleck if you can't trust Tom Selleck who can you trust . Says some old lady.
It paid for the oil change in the Ferrari....
He’s such a handsome young man. -Also said by some old lady.
Magnum was the man, but my favorite was TC, you could always trust TC
Doesn't touch my disdain for Liberty Mutual.
Liberty, liberty, liberty! Sheesh
Liberty, liberty, liberty! Sheesh
He's in Fred Thompson territory now. Seriously, my wife would probably sign over everything we own to Selleck, even now, if he flashed those dimples. I watched Blue Bloods long enough for it to get really repetitive. I still will watch old Magnum episodes whenever I catch them on. I liked him in those Jesse Stone TV movies as well.
I find it sad that Thomas Magnum, a former Navy SEAL who served valiantly alongside TC and Rick, could be brought so low. If only Higgins had survived to see this, it would make him .
I don't think there is a woman alive who would ever admit to getting tired of seeing Tom Selleck...in anything 
With that bing said, we don't have cable TV anymore so we don't see ads

Yes I am tired of the reverse mortgage adds which actually attempt to sell a product to a target market. I much prefer all the mixed race commercials. Like the motaur motorcycle insurance commercials that have a half black man/half motorcycle who all the white people want to be just like but who cower in fear of him when he is rude to them. I rewind them and watch them over and over again. I bought motorcycle insurance and I don't even have a motorcycle those commercials are so good.
I can live with Selleck. I just wish that my man, William Devane, would make up his mind. Is it silver, or gold?

Tom Selleck was mentored by the late James "Maverick" "Rockford" Garner, one of the most honest actors ever in Hollywood.
I'm tired of the My Pillow commercials. I flip the channel to MSNBC or CNN when it comes on.
You definitely won’t see em there.
I'll admit it - not a huge fan, although I did like him in Friends. My mom however is a huge fan.I don't think there is a woman alive who would ever admit to getting tired of seeing Tom Selleck...in anything

I enjoy Blue Bloods. I never miss an episode. I enjoyed the Jesse Stone movies also, lugubrious though they are.
I have not. Might be something to do when I slow down. I'm trying not to slow down.
He made a movie, "Folks"?, about life with his aged parents...senile father...that I thought was really funny.
"Reverse loan is not some scheme to take your home. It's a loan, like any other loan"
"difference is, how you pay the loan back...."
*you pay it back by them taking your home....*
"This isn't my first rodeo"
"I've been around long enough to know what's what"

Who came up with this jingle ? Dang, I could have done that for less money.
Anybody that hawks predatory loans to old people by telling them they can trust him is a shitheel.
I think the reverse mortgage has its place. People of limited circumstances might lack sufficient retirement income to live as they would like or need to. Using the home's equity to bridge the gap becomes an option. You aren't going to need the house anyway once you are gone. Like all decisions, it needs to be an informed one. No, I do not hold a reverse mortgage and don't intend to, but I don't think it's a sin to consider it.
There's no way that insurance commercial is more annoying than the "safe drivers save 40%" commercials where they just keep saying that over and over. I want to put a bat through the TV after the 8th or 9th time I hear that phrase in a 15 second commercial.
I remember the miniseries years ago in which Duvall played Ike. I'll be on the lookout for the one you mentioned.
You can rent it on IMDB. I liked it so much that I bought the DVD some years ago and my wife likes it as well. We try to watch it every June 6. He delivers a very touching and inspiring speech before the King and Queen where he describes the meaning of the invasion for the average American soldier.
