Around the Tubes - 9/7/12


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 The Voice, Ghost Hunters, 9/11 specials, Drop Dead Diva, The Hero, Sullivan and Son, Power Rangers Monster Bash, Holliston, Nina Dobrev, James Murphy, and House Band Wines.

- The Voice returns Monday for three straight days of Blind Auditions (including a special Wednesday episode where it will go head to head with another singing competition that, like The Voice, features four judges, but unlike The Voice, none of the judges can sing). For those that cannot wait, here is a first look at a Blind Audition you will be seeing next week:


- A new season of Ghost Hunters returns this Wednesday at 9:00 on Syfy and here is a promo to get you excited:


- National Geographic Channel will be remembering 9/11 all weekend starting tomorrow at 10:00 with 9/11-The Fireman’s Story, then Sunday at 10:00 they will air 9/11: Voices from the Air.

- Not only is the season finale of Drop Dead Diva this Sunday at 9:00 on Lifetime, I hear there may even be a wedding happening.

- TNT may know drama, but they are quickly getting acquainted with reality too. After the first season of The Great Escape ended, the network announced their next foray into competition series. The Hero is out to find the next great hero bringing 10 ordinary people together in a house and then assign them various missions that will test their brains, their brawn and even their morality. The Hero will be headlined by The Rock and promises to utilize social media like never before. Look out for the show during the summer of 2013.

- If you enjoyed the first season of TBS’s Sullivan and Sons, you are in luck because the show has been renewed for a second season.

- Out on DVD and Video on Demand this Tuesday: Power Rangers Monster Bash. Plan your Halloween parties accordingly.


- FEARnet recently announced the start of production on their irreverent horror comedy series Holliston which will see Dee Snyder and Dave Brockie (you may know him better as Oderus Urungus from GWAR) will reprise their roles. The new season will air in the spring as well as a one-hour special set to air during the holidays. You will also be able to but the first season on DVD and Blu-Ray starting October 8.


- Nina Dobrev covers October’s issue of Seventeen where the star of The Vampire Diaries where she also talks about her upcoming movie The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
