Around the Tubes - 3/9/12


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 Community, Monster Man, Real Fear: The Truth Behind the Movies, America the Wild with Casey Anderson, Wild Justice, ABC Family, Single Black Female, Veep, The Real Skinny, The Voice, America's Got Talent, and Azealia Banks.


- Community returns this Thursday and NBC recently released an epic trailer for the show that features the return of (SPOILER ALERT!!!) Evil Abed. As a wise man once said: can’t wait. Unfortunately no Annie’s Boobs sightings yet.



- You may not recognize the name Cleve Hall, but you undoubtedly have seen his creations as he is behind many of Hollywood’s most terrifying creations. And now he is the subject of Monster Man premiering next Wednesday on Syfy just before he makes a guest appearance on the competition show Face Off. Check out a clip below:

Evolution


- On Sunday, March 11 @ 8pm, Chiller’s all-new special, Real Fear: The Truth Behind the Movies, will uncover the terrifying real-life stories that inspired some of the most popular horror films of all time! Paranormal investigator Katrina Weidman (Paranormal State), along with three of her colleagues, reveal the secrets behind four iconic movies: Poltergeist, The Amityville Horror, Silent Hill and The Mothman Prophecies.

- Two premieres this Sunday on Nat Geo Wild. First at 8:00 is new series America the Wild with Casey Anderson where the naturalist travels across North America to hand out with elusive and endangered species. Then at 9:00 is the second season of Wild Justice which follows California’s Game Wardens as they protect wildlife from poachers and other threats. Check out a preview of the former below:

Wolverine to the Rescue


- Want to watch full episodes of your favorite ABC Family shows on your iPod, iPhone, or iPad? Well now there is an app for that. Head over to iTunes to download the ABC Family app for free.

- Gabrielle Union fans will be glad to hear that the actress may be heading back to the small screen after being tapped for the lead in Single Black Female, a BET hour long Pilot from the duo who created The Game. Do not bother asking if she will be playing Bridget Fonda or Jennifer Jason Leigh because she will be playing the host of a 24-hour cable news show who is not on the lookout for a new roommate.

- You still have to wait about a month until the latest HBO show Veep starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Until then, here is the first teaser poster:

Veep coming April to HBO


- On Monday at 10, TLC is going inside the world of dramatic weight loss after people have lost the weight and the excess skin that goes along with the slimmer figures. The Real Skinny will document a man and woman who have elected to undergo skin removal surgery.

- For those tuning into the Battle Rounds of The Voice this week and found yourself wondering how much longer until the Live Show, NBC recently announced that the show will go live starting Monday April 2. They will also be adding a live results show on Tuesday April 3 at 9:00 following a newly shortened Biggest Loser. Then the winner will be announced on a special two hour live show starting at 8:00 on May 8. The following week, Howard Stern will be joining the judging panel of America’s Got Talent with two two hour hour shows on Monday and Tuesday May 14 and 15both starting at 8:00.
