I have gotten a plethora of cool press releases have been flooding my inbox recently that you may find interesting. This post will include blurbs on Friday Night Lights, If God Is Willing and da Creek Won’t Rise, Eastbound and Down, Modern Family, DVD2Blu, Bond of Silence, and Richard Petty.
- If you have ever wondered why I go on and on about Friday Night Lights but found it too cumbersome to catch up, ABC Family recently bought the syndication rights and will start airing the show from the beginning starting Tuesday September 7 at 6:00. Below is the poster hyping the premiere.
- A couple years ago, Spike Lee made a Katrina related documentary When the Levees Broke and now of the fifth anniversary of the Hurricane he is revisiting the subject with If God Is Willing and da Creek Won’t Rise focusing on the recovery in New Orleans and the recent oil spill. The two night event starts Monday with the second part on Tuesday, both at 9:00 on HBO. Below is a trailer:
- In other HBO news, Eastbound and Down returns for its second season September 26 at 10:30 and here is a teaser:
- It would seem like a no brainer that Modern Family should take home the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy in that is the funniest show nominated. But over at the Daily Beast, they still have to explain why Modern Family Should Win an Emmy Over Glee.
- For those that have upgraded to Blu-Ray recently but do not want to spend all that money upgrading your DVD collection should head over to DVD2Blu which lets you exchange your DVD’s for a much cheaper than buying a Blu-Ray new. And now the program has some TV sets available for exchange such as Chuck, Pushing Daisies, Smallville and The Sopranos.
- The latest Lifetime movie premieres this Monday at 9 and stars Kim Raver (24) and Greg Grumberg. Here is a sneak peak of Bond of Silence:
- This is more for you out there south of the Mason-Dixon Line (as country and auto racing doesn’t play as well up here), though if you were on the winning side of the Civil War, you may still find this video of six foot six Trace Adkins trying to get in a NASCAR entertaining.
I have been wanting to watch Friday Night Lights for a while now. I thought a couple of times of putting it on my Netflix que, but then I rediscovered my love for reading. I started started The Hunter Games trilogy and haven't stopped yet. Looks like I will be DVR-ing the syndicated FNL on ABC fam. now. Thanks for the heads up. Can't wait to finally start it.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that people who missed the orginal run will have this chance to discovery the show because it is easily the best show currently on television.
