Around the Tubes - 1/12/12


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 Being Human, America’s Most Hated Family, Dating Rules from My Future Self, Eastbound and Down, Untouchable, and Redbook.

- Being Human returns Monday at 9:00 on Syfy for its second season and here is a sneak of what to expect.

Turn this Mother Out


- Before you write it off on the name alone, no, America’s Most Hated Family is not another Kardashian reality show. The special actually follows the controversial Westboro Baptist Church that grabbed media headlines by picketing military funerals and pretty much everything else (and were humorously counter-protested by filmmaker Kevin Smith with a “Thor Hates Straights’ sign). The one hour special airs tomorrow at 10:00.

- Have you ever wanted to text your former self to warn you off your current dating strategy? When now there’s an app for that. Or least there is new webseries with that plot. Shiri Appleby (Swimf@n) plays a geek, no seriously, in Dating Rules from My Future Self who in the future creates said app and hilarity presumably ensures. The series premiered earlier this week with new episodes premiering every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on its Facebook page. Bonus points for also featuring Bill Haverchuck.

- Pitchers and catchers may not be reporting for a couple weeks, but one baseball player who will be back on the mound this winter is Kenny Powers. And who better to talk to the youth of today in the teaser for the upcoming season of Eastbound and Down returning to HBO Sunday February 19.



- This Sunday at 9:00 on OWN Oprah will be sitting down with New Jersey governor Chris Christie in his own home to talk about the upcoming presidential election and why he did not through his hat into the race.

- It is a little surprising that it has taken Lifetime so long to air this, but for those waiting for the Lifetime version of The Drew Perterson story, Untouchable hits the network Saturday January 21 at 8:00 staring Rob Lowe (Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me) as the titular character and Kaley Couco (*knock*knock*knock* Penny) as his missing fourth wife Stacy.



- Coming to a newsstand next week is Redbook’s Hot Husband Issue with Blake Shelton on the cover. Head over to redbookmag.com to win a signed CD from Blake and two tickets to his upcoming tour.
