This season, Charlie has a thorny problem: Rose. Before, she was on the make for Charlie. Now she’s married and supposedly off-limits – and that’s irresistible for lust-struck Charlie. He pursues her. That and other situations are all part of the hilarious antics of Charlie, his sad-sack bro Alan and his underachieving nephew Jake as they return to make Two and a Half Men #1 among TV comedies. Don’t miss Charlie keeping his mojo in motion with Michelle (elegant, older), Courtney (cheap, sexy) and, of course, Rose (crazy, crazy). Alan burning down his girlfriend’s house and hatching a chiropractic Ponzi scheme. And Jake risking his body and (few) brain cells to film a Jackass ripoff. Bad boys. Funny Men.

For the purposes of the Giveaway, immediate family members are defined as mother, father, in-laws, grandmother, grandfather, brother, sister, spouse, legally recognized domestic partner, children and grandchildren.

How to Enter: There will be multiple Giveaways held from July 20, 2011 through July 24, 2011.  During each Giveaway, there is one Way to Enter: You must be a subscriber of TheWB.com’s tweets, which are sent from TheWB.com’s Twitter account located on the Twitter web site under the name “TheWBdotcom”.  If you are not a subscriber, you may become one by visiting the Twitter Web Site and following the directions provided to subscribe.  TheWB.com’s feed is found at www.twitter.com/TheWBdotcom.  Subscription is free and you may unsubscribe on Twitter at anytime.  Once you are a subscriber, between July 20 – 24, 2011, you will receive tweets from the TheWB.com designated as “Comic-Con Giveaway” tweets.  These tweets will contain instructions on retweeting it and will specify the numerical order that must be associated with the winning retweet (i.e., the 50th retweet received by TheWB.com will be the winning retweet or every 20th retweet will be the winning retweet).  The giveaway period will vary depending on how quickly a retweet is received by TheWB.com in the order specified in the TheWB.com’s initial tweet (the “Giveaway Period”).  Each Giveaway will run continuously until the winning retweet/s have been received.  Standard text messaging rates apply for any text messages sent and received. Please check your carrier for pricing plan details and text messaging capabilities.  Limit one (1) entry per Twitter account, regardless of device used to enter (computer, wireless device).  Entries received in excess of the stated daily limitation from the same twitter account (regardless of device used to send the tweet) will be void. TheWB.com reserves the right to accept entries with slight variations from the information solicited.  All entries must be received by the specified deadline to be eligible for the Prize.  The Sponsor’s Twitter feed will serve as the official time piece for the Giveaway.

Sponsor will not deem proof of submission of an entry as proof of receipt of an entry.

If a potential prizewinner is found ineligible or fails to comply with these Official Rules, that individual’s claim to a prize is forfeited and the account holder for the tweet next in order will be contacted. Odds of winning depend on, among other things, the total number of eligible entries received.

All prizes legitimately claimed will be awarded.

In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of an entrant, the entry will be deemed submitted by the authorized account holder of the Twitter account used to subscribe to TheWB.com’s tweets.  An “authorized account holder” is defined as the natural person associated with the twitter account.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EMMY®-NOMINATED TV COMEDY THE BIG BANG THEORY AND
BARENAKED LADIES TEAM UP ON SPECIAL MUSIC VIDEO
FOR HIT SHOW’S THEME SONG

Twitter Pitch: #bigbangtheory and @barenakedladies team up for theme song music video: http://bit.ly/pyr7JP “It all started with a big bang. BANG!”

BURBANK, Calif. (July 15, 2011) — TV’s #1 comedy — and newly minted Emmy® nominee for Outstanding Comedy Series — The Big Bang Theory (Thursdays 8/7c on CBS, premiering September 22) and multi-platinum pop rock group the BARENAKED LADIES have teamed up on a special music video for the band’s full-length version of the hit series’ theme song. The video was shot on The Big Bang Theory set and gives fans an exclusive insider’s look at the hit sitcom, via never-before-seen behind-the-scenes footage of the show’s table read, rehearsals and episode taping in front of a live studio audience. The band was joined in the video by the stars of the award-winning show: Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar.

• Beginning today, the video can be seen at the following link:  www.thewb.com/shows/thebigbangtheory

• The collaboration on the music video continues the longstanding relationship between the band and the series that was established in 2007 when The Big Bang Theory creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady — who are fans of the band — asked Barenaked Ladies’ singer/guitarist Ed Robertson to pen a theme song for the series as a “sort of history of everything … in about 32 seconds.”

• The band later made a surprise appearance at The Big Bang Theory’s panel session at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2010, performing the song, complete with an audience sing-along.

• Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution will feature the video in its campaign to support the off-network launch of The Big Bang Theory in syndication this fall. The Big Bang Theory debuts in syndication September 19, simultaneously on TBS, the Fox Television Stations and broadcast stations across the country, and will air five nights a week.

• The music video and a special featurette, complete with interviews with the band, will be available on The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Fourth Season Blu-ray™ and DVD release on September 13

• The audio recording will also be featured on the band’s upcoming greatest hits package STOP US IF YOU’VE HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE. The release of the two-CD package will feature never-before-heard rarities as well as some of the band’s best-known songs and will be followed by a U.S. tour this summer (see tour dates below).

• · The announcement of the music video follows the announcement yesterday that The Big Bang Theory was nominated for five Primetime Emmy® Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for stars Johnny Galecki and Jim Parsons.

• To connect with The Big Bang Theory online, become a fan of the show on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/TheBigBangTheory or follow on Twitter @BigBang_CBS. Become a fan of the Barenaked Ladies on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/barenakedladies or follow them on Twiter @barenakedladies.

WARNER BROS. TO FOLLOW COMIC-CON AUTOGRAPH TICKET SYSTEM

Twitter Pitch: Important info on Warner Bros. autograph signings at Comic-Con – details here: http://bit.ly/qhXUrS #WBSDCC #SDCC

BURBANK, Calif. (July 8, 2011) — Comic-Con and Warner Bros. Entertainment are announcing today that Warner Bros. will follow the official Comic-Con International: San Diego ticket distribution system for autograph signings at this year’s event.

As in years past, all signings will be held at the Warner Bros. booth, which is #4545 on the Comic-Con show floor.  But under the long-standing Comic-Con system, Warner Bros. will distribute wristbands for signings via daily ticket drawings held at Sails Pavilion #9 inside the San Diego Convention Center.

“Safety is always our main concern with signings or events, so it is Comic-Con policy that access is regulated by a drawing for a chance to win — giving all attendees an equal opportunity to enter,” said David Glanzer, director of marketing and public relations for Comic-Con International.  “We are happy that Warner Bros. has agreed to utilize this system and thank them for once again offering such unique opportunities to our attendees this year, as well as their continued support of Comic-Con.”

Fans interested in attending signings at the Warner Bros. booth should review the schedule listed below, then plan to visit the Sails Pavilion at the time of each drawing.  All fans present at the appointed time will receive numbered tickets that feature a distinct sticker. Then a randomized drawing will determine which fans receive wristbands granting access to each autograph line.

See below for the current schedule of ticket distribution and signing start times.

THE BOOTH

And it wouldn’t be Comic-Con without a visit to the Warner Bros. booth. The Studio will once again have a can’t-miss, nearly 3,000-square-foot destination on the convention floor, at space #4545. Anchored by the iconic Warner Bros. Water Tower, the booth is a must-visit location for autograph signings, multiple interactive kiosks for fans to play video games from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, and much, much more. Stay tuned to @TheWBdotcom on Twitter or www.thewb.com/comiccon in the coming weeks for more details about activities at the booth.

SPECIAL SNEAK PEEK PILOT SCREENINGS
WEDNESDAY, JULY 20 • 6–9 PM • BALLROOM 20

WBTVG continues its Comic-Con tradition of hosting a special sneak peek premiere event on preview night. This year, the Studio is offering fans the opportunity to see some of the most anticipated new premieres of the year.

• “Alcatraz”: Executive producers J.J. Abrams and Elizabeth Sarnoff deliver a chilling new midseason drama for FOX revolving around America’s most infamous prison, the one-time home to the nation’s worst murderers, rapists, kidnappers, thieves and arsonists.

• “The Secret Circle”: The ordinary becomes extraordinary in this romantic drama about a coven of young witches, from “The Vampire Diaries” executive producer Kevin Williamson, based upon the book series by L.J. Smith (“The Vampire Diaries”).

• “Person of Interest”: From J.J. Abrams and “The Dark Knight” co-writer Jonathan Nolan comes an action-packed hour for CBS about an ex-CIA operative and a mysterious billionaire who team up to stop violent crimes before they happen in New York City.

• “Supernatural: The Anime Series”: The popular series “Supernatural” makes history this summer as the first-ever live-action show to be re-imagined in Japanese anime style. Renowned animation studio Madhouse — working with the full approval of series creator Eric Kripke — produced the anime series, which mirrors the story arc of “Supernatural’s” first two seasons, providing supplemental stories ranging from prequels and spin-offs to untold tales that fit within the “Supernatural” mythology.
