Around the Tubes - 12/9/11


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 Boardwalk Empire, Sons of Anarchy, Snowmageddon, Smash, Jasmine Sagginario, Kara McGraw, MTV, Funniest Commercials of the Year: 2011, Christmas in Washington, Dean Martin, Ink Masters, and Castle.

- Boardwalk Empire is ending its second season this Sunday starting at 9:00 on HBO. Check out a clip below:



- My thoughts of the Sons of Anarchy season finale are coming up this weekend, until then, fans can participate in an action over at fxnetworks.com where you can bid on one of two Ireland Reaper Jackets worn on set by cast members in season three, episode eight. Or you can grab one of five “Chucky’s Chili” t-shirts signed by Chucky himself, Michael Marisi Ornstein. Proceeds of the actions will benefit two charities: Maryvale, which was founded in 1856 by the Daughters of Charity as the first orphanage for Los Angeles, and Operation Homefront, which provides emergency assistance and morale to troops, their families, and wounded warriors when they return home.

- If Snowmageddon is half as awesome as the name suggest, it will definitely be worth tuning into tomorrow at 9:00 on Syfy. Here is the trailer:
