Around the Tubes vol. XVI


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 Chuck, Community, Wanted, Bollywood Hero, Alone in the Wild, Spartacus: Blood and Sand, The Bill Engvall Show, One EskimO, and TruTV.

- Any fan of Chuck (which should be everyone reading this) with definitely want to check out ChuckMeOut.com. There you can find the latest news from the set and around the net, web exclusive video from cast and crew, exciting tasks and activities challenging your creativity and your Chuck-IQ, and opportunities to interact with fellow Chuck fans. Soon you will be able to earn points and prizes and additional features (prizing, UGC tasks) will roll out over the next few weeks. For those that want to see what all the hype with Chuck is or want to relive it, the good people over at TV Screener are giving away the Complete First Season on DVD and a $10 Subway Gift Card every week for the next five weeks. And speaking of the previously mentioned exclusive video, here is one where they interviewed some Comic Con nerds on their favorite characters.



- NBC also launched a new site for upcoming show Community, so head over to greendalecommunitycollege.com to ‘enroll.” In other NBC news, you can currently check out the second episode of Wanted over at NBC.com.

- Coming to the IFC Channel next Thursday is Bollywood Hero starring SNL alum Chris Kattan. The three part miniseries will also feature cameos from Keanu Reeves, Maya Rudolph, David Alan Grier and Jennifer Coolidge.

- Bear Grylls has nothing on Ed Wardel. Ed is currently trekking across the Canadian Yukon for three months. Head over to the Alone in the Wild site to watch his video diaries, follow his progress on Google Map Locator and more. Then look for an Alone in the Wild show on the National Geographic Channel in September.
