Move over, Wade Boggs’ Carpet World. Pete Rose and his busty, younger Playboy model wife Kiana Kim have taken the furniture world by storm with their new TV ad for Muenchen’s Furniture in Cincinnati. Sadly, it turns out that Rose’s reality show on TLC, Hits & Mrs., was canceled*, which led to me asking, “Holy sh*t, TLC cancels shows?”
But the silver lining appears to be that companies are still willing to pay a 71-year old blackballed former baseball player and his fame-hungry eventual ex-wife some walking-around money to argue over which set of Paula Deen furniture they want to buy. Seriously, this commercial is why TV was invented.
*TLC aired four of the six episodes and says the show will either return at the beginning or end of the 2013 Major League Baseball season, because yeah, that will make people care.

I hope Pete got a free bowl of soup with that hat.

C’mon Wang, it’s a parking lot!
Yes! Upstate, that was fantastic.
Outstanding.
Made my morning.
But it looks good on YOU though.
Who would have thought that Pete Rose would be a wooden actor? You’d think he’d be a good actor with him denying betting on baseball for so long.
Watching Cincinnati sports icons on Cincinnati commercials is a town honored tradition. Anthony Munoz does Furniture Fair. Joe Morgan does his own dealership. Mr. Red, Mr. Redleg, Rosie Red and Gapper all do Skyline Chili.
But the best has to be Marty Brennaman and Joe Nuxhall doing Kroger. They did them in the 80s and early 90s and they aired them well into the 2000s.
Really lame attempt at 5th Doctor cosplay Pete!
