Around the Tubes - 2/28/13


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 Client List, Dallas, Veep, Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp, Brand X, Carrie Underwood, Californiacation, new DVD releases, Are You Tougher Than a Boy Scout?, Pete Holmes, King of the Nerds, and Celebrity Apprentice.

- Kiddies sit right down so I can tell you a story. Believe it or not, there was a time when Jennifer Love Hewitt was Kate Upton, Zooey Deshanel, and Katy Perry all rolled into one. Okay, she only tried to be a singer. Actually that may have been her downfall because after that her Party of Five spin-off crashed and burned and nobody cared when she did two summers ago in theaters. But these days Love is back on the small screen, even got a second season, and she just recorded a new song I'm a Woman, produced by Randy Jackson, for the upcoming season of The Client List, returning March 10 to Lifetime.


- Dallas will be saying farewell to their iconic character J.R. Ewing on March 11, and until they you can view all seven episodes of the second season over at tntdrama.com (the seventh video, airing Monday, will become available after it airs) until the day after the special episode airs.

- The second season of Veep does not premiere until April 14, but you can check out a first look below:


- At this years Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp: Brian Wilson and Jeff Beck. Not too shabby.

- Starting tonight, Brand X moves to 11:00 on FX with guest star Dermot Mulroney. No word yet if they will be playing Dylan McDermott or Dermot Mulroney.

- Six time GRAMMY winner Carrie Underwood will bring her critically acclaimed “Blown Away Tour” to AXS TV for a LIVE full concert performance from Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California on Sunday, March 3rd.

- When most people think comedy, they probably do not think Marilyn Manson, but the Antichrist Superstar will be on this weekend’s episode Californication when Hank tries to scare his daughter straight by showing what the rock star lifestyle turns you into. Needless to say, it does not turn out as planned for Hank.

- New DVD’s out this week include Midnight Stallion which centers on a young girl and her family who are rescued from their financial struggle by an unexpected guest and stars Kris Kristofferson (Joyful Noise, Dolphin Tale), Jodelle Ferland (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, ParaNorman), and Chelah Horsdal (Rise of the Planet of the Apes); the Hallmark Movie Channel Original, The Seven Year Hitch, starring Darin Brooks (“CSI Miami,” “Castle,”), Natalie Hall (“Pretty Little Liars,” “Law and Order: SVU”), Frances Fisher (Titanic), Griffin Cleveland (“The Walking Dead,” “Desperate Housewives”), Ryan Doom (“Raising Hope”), and George Wendt (“Cheers”); the Lifetime Original Movie based on a true story, Abducted: The Carlina White Story, and Power Rangers: Clash of the Red Rangers Movie.


- I had to shake my head when Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? premiered because it would be sad to think people could actually lose. This Monday Nat Geo Wild premieres Are You Tougher than a Boy Scout? and sadly, I probably should not find out.

- Conan will be getting some company late night on TBS this fall as the channel has ordered up a late night comedy series starring Pete Holmes. In other TBS news, dust off you Klingon dictionary because King of the Nerds has been reviewed for a second season. No word if they have taken my suggestion to bring in Ted McGinley and/or The Ogre.

- All-Star Celebrity Apprentice seems a little redundant (and a double oxymoron considering who is involved), but it premieres this Sunday and here is the full trailer:
