I saw this on the dpreview forum. If this isn't interesting, I don't know what is:

'House' season finale filmed with Canon 5D Mark II

A Canon 5D Mark II has become the first video-capable DSLR to film a whole episode of a US primetime series. Greg Yaitanes, director of FOX broadcasting company's medical drama series 'House', used the camera , a selection of of Canon's prime lenses, the 24-70mm and 70-200mm lenses to shoot the season finale. Speaking via Twitter, he said that this was to achieve a shallow depth of field and a 'richer look'. He also said he 'feels it’s the future'.

Will be interesting, no doubt.

I wonder how much Canon paid for the honor... (cause you know they paid)

Not too certain about that actually...the director wanted lower DOF...so he went with what would get him it. It's possible that Canon paid him to use a 5D...but seeing as its the most advanced full frame movie/DSLR, I don't think they had to.
