Around the Tubes - 11/10/11


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 Where Soldiers Come From, Being Human, Homeland, Sons of Anarchy, Chuck, Taylor Dayne, Southland, Nurse Jackie, Franklin and Bash, TMC, and polling results.

- Tomorrow is Veterans Day (for those wondering why you won’t be getting mail) and to honor the occasion, tonight on PBS they are airing the acclaimed documentary Where Soldiers Come From at 9:00. You can also stream the film in its entirety on the POV website starting tomorrow until December 11.

- Being Human returns to Syfy for its second season this January and here is a first look at its return:



- Got a webcam and a microphone? If so you can take a polygraph just like everyone on Homeland this week. Head over to sho.com to give it a shot. If you do not have the equipment and live near New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, or Los Angeles, you can take on in person, head over to the website for the when and where.

- Fans of Sons of Anarchy should be happy to learn that the current fourth season will be getting an additional fourteenth episode. Update your television calendars as now the season finale is slated for December 6.

- Chuck fans while you are waiting for the next episode, head over to the Verbanski website to check out Carmichael Industries biggest competitor (hint: roll over the crest with the gun for an Easter egg)

- Taylor Dayne is back and her new single Floor On Fire is already entered the Billboard Dance Charts in at number 8.

- The most influential talk show host? Ellen DeGeneres. Head over to Klout to see the entire top ten (spoiler alert! Arsenio Hall did not make the list).

- Marla Bibbs (yes Florence Johnston) will be guest starring on Southland next season reteaming her with her 227 daughter Regina King. No word on when Jackée will show up. The new season starts up Tuesday January 17 on TNT. The Gibbs episode is set to air the 24th of the month.

- No word on when it will return, but when it does come back, Nurse Jackie will feature guest spots from Joel Grey and Aida Turturro who will reunite with Sopranos co-star Edie Falco.

- Even more guest stars are signing for the TNT show Franklin and Bash including Peter Weller, Jane Seymour (play Zach Morris’ mom), and Beau Bridges is set to return as Papa Franklin.

- TCM recently announced its guest hosts for the month of November including Oscar winning actress Eva Marie Saint (7-13), film critic, lecturer and author Kenneth Turan (14-20), and actress Rita Wilson (21-27)

- In polling news, Poll Position finds 63% Americans believe the White House should comply with a subpoena from Congressional committees demanding the White House turn over documents related to the Obama administration’s $535 million loan guarantees to the now-failed solar energy company Solyndra. (The margin of error is +/- 3%) They also found 76% of Americans do not miss the NBA at all. (The margin of error is also +/- 3%) While a poll conducted just after Herman Cain’s new conference Tuesday found that 43% of Americans do not believe him, including 48% of woman, Independents at 45% margin of error, you guessed it: +/- 3%).
