Around the Tubes: 12/13/13



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 Community, Haven, 24/7 Red Wings / Maple Leafs: Road to the NHL Winter Classic, Syfy holidays, 24 Hours of A Christmas Story, The Incredible Dr. Pol, Episodes, Califonication, ABC Family holiday movies, Julia McKinnis, and King of the Nerds.

- It looks like the darkest timeline will return when Community does January 2. Could season 4 just have been the darkest timeline?


- Tonight is the season finale Haven where William continues with his plan to turn Audrey back into her original self, meanwhile the rest of the gang find out that some doors are better left unopened. Check out a preview below:


- HBO Sports’ groundbreaking “24/7” reality franchise, which has captured 17 Sports Emmy® Awards, will again join forces with the National Hockey League for 24/7 Red Wings / Maple Leafs: Road to the NHL Winter Classic. Taking viewers inside a historic NHL matchup between Original Six™ rivals Detroit Red Wings® and Toronto Maple Leafs®, this innovative four-episode, all-access reality series debuts Saturday, December 14 at 10:00, exclusively on HBO.

- Syfy will celebrate the holiday season with a Christmas Day movie festival, a marathon of the hit series Being Human and the traditional New Year’s Eve celebration of Rod Serling’s iconic series The Twilight Zone, which will take viewers into a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. The Wednesday, December 25 movie festival, airing 9AM-3AM (ET/PT), will specialize in Christmas and wintry-themed films such as Snowmageddon, Ice Quake, Snow Beast and Yeti. The Being Human Season 3 marathon will run Monday, December 30 from 8AM-3AM. The popular series will return for its fourth season on Syfy Monday, January 13 at 9PM. The Twilight Zone marathon will start Tuesday, December 31 at 8AM, concluding New Year’s Day at 4:30AM. Fans can win fun Twilight Zone prizes by testing their knowledge of Twilight Zone trivia through the social media challenge at Facebook.com/Syfy and @Syfy.

- One of television's most popular holiday traditions will be back this year as TBS presents the 17th Annual edition of 24 Hours of A Christmas Story, beginning Christmas Eve at 8:00. Making this a particularly special year, the movie A Christmas Story is celebrating its 30th anniversary.

- You would think that after more than 30 years of practicing veterinary medicine, raising three kids, maintaining a bustling practice, and eating all the fresh farm steak he can get, this senior would slow down. Nope, not Dr. Pol! He’s a rare breed that thrives on helping all creatures great and small. And lucky for us, he’s still going strong with his down-and-dirty approach to veterinary medicine. And we get to join him once again as Nat Geo Wind’s #1 series The Incredible Dr. Pol returns with an all new season Saturday, Jan. 4, 2014, at 9:00.

- Season three does not premiere until January 12, but Episodes has already been renewed for a fourth season. Showtime also announced that the upcoming seventh season of Californication, to premiere sometime in April, will be its last.

- If you like ABC Family’s holiday movies but do not want to watch them on your coach, now there is an app for that. Get it here.

- Texas-born singer/songwriter Julia McKinnis releases her new single “Knack for Love”, which is the third track off her debut album The Good Has Won, which she plans to release on February 4, 2014. The 10-track album features Julia’s lilting vocals and ukulele that represent her upbeat outlook on life. Take a listen below:



- The King of the Nerds trailer for season two has finally arrived and let me go ahead and predict the token hot chick wins for the second straight season. To see iof I am right, mark your calendars for January 23 on TNT.
