Around the Tubes vol. LXXVI


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 Boardwalk Empire, I am Legend, Flip, Telethon for Alzheimer’s, Characters United, Chuck Lorre, Christmas in Washington, Linkin Park, Television on Twitter, FX and Syfy renewal and premiere dates, and Christmas with a Capital C.

- The season finale of Boardwalk Empire is this Sunday at 9:00 on HBO and here is a sneak peak and what you will see:



- I am Legend recently hit iTunes for the first time with Bonus Content including behind the scenes footage and interviews with the Will Smith.

- Do you Flip? I do (I recently picked up an HD one) and so do Diddy, Brooke Burke, and Ryan Sheckler; in fact Sheckler has designed six personal Flips for this campaign.

- Tomorrow on some NBC channels (and everywhere online) there will be a Telethon for Alzheimers. If your NBC station isn’t airing it, head over to alzfdn.org to watch or donate.

- USA is using the Characters Welcome slogan to good use with Characters Unite program where if you click on the website and pledge to stand against discrimination and for every pledge made this month, USA Network will donate $1 to its nonprofit partners.

- The big cheese for CBS comedies Chuck Lorre (The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, and new show Mike and Molly) will be profiled in December 6th issue of The New Yorker. Head over to their website for a preview.

- In a story I broke last week, Christmas in Washington will air on Friday December 17 at 8:00 on TNT and it has just been announced that Andrea Bocelli will be joining the lineup that already includes Mariah Carey, Annie Lennox, Maxwell, and Matthew Morrison.

- Fans of Linkin Park will want to check out Linkin Park Radio which includes previously unreleased tracks, demos and covers that can't be heard anywhere else.

- I do not Twitter, but some television show creators do and not surprisingly they have run into viewers who have had some choice words over the site. The Daily Beast takes a look at the phenomenon.

- FX recently announced the premiere date of a couple of their shows, animated series Archer returns January 27 at 10 and new show Lights Out about a former heavyweight fighter bows January 11 at 10:00. While you are waiting, play the Lights Out Game for a chance to win $1000. In other premiere date news, Syfy has announced that Being Human is set to debut January 17. The channel also ordered another season of Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files and Ghost Hunters, and 12 new episodes on top of the current season of Hollywood Treasure.

- This Sunday you can see Ted McGinley in the new GMC movie Christmas with a Capital C at 7:00 with encores at 9:00 and 11:00.
