Around the Tubes vol. LXII


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 Bored to Death, Pawn Stars, The Event, Entourage, So You Think You Can Dance, Army Wives, Timmy Time, the Smithsonian Channel.

- The new season of Bored to Death featuring Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson and Zach Galifianakis is returning September 26 on HBO. To tide you over, you can download The Birth of Super Ray comic book or watch the Invitation to the Set video below:



- Yesterday I mentioned the upcoming Hardcore Pawn, and for those that cannot get enough of the occupation should check out the second season of Pawn Stars coming to DVD August 24. Check out below to pre-order the second season or catch up on the first.



- I am glad I am not watching much television this summer because I get the impression that NBC’s marketing of The Event may be on par with ABC’s “Mommy… you smell different” campaign. For those that have escaped the marketing blanket, here is the latest promo for the show:



- The Daily Beast takes a look at two television shows that are struggling in the seventh seasons, Gina Piccalo takes a look at the dark turn on Entourage while Andy Denhart remarks on the failed makeover for So You Think You can Dance.

- Speaking of So You Think You Can Dance, if you watch the show, you make have heard Jar of Hearts by newcomer Christina Perri and Cambio Music has exclusive footage of the singer.

- Gabrielle Union guest on this Sunday’s very special episode of Army Wives. You know how it is a special episode; it gets its own subtitle: Murder in Charleston. If we are lucky, someone might even reenact a scene from Blazing Saddles. Here is a promo:



- Here’s one for the kiddies (or ones that have them), multi-award winning animation studio, Aardman Animations, has a new show called Timmy Time coming to Disney Channel’s Playhouse Disney starting September 13. Below is a picture of Timmy, a little lamb about to enter pre-school or head over to timmytime.tv for exact airtime and more about Timmy.



- Those with an iPhone or iPod Touch and love history will want to check out the Smithsonian Channel app featuring full episodes, fun facts, video clips and more. While on the channel itself, this Sunday at 8:00 is the latest of their Inside the Music episode entitled Electrified:
