Re: "Around the World for Free!"
Pedaler:
I haven't done much TAR detective work in the last couple of years but I'm having a lot of fun tracking this down.
It appears to me that all of the activity started with this tweet.

Source : http://twitter.com/hanswatson It looks like Hans tweeted from the SXSW Interactive conference earlier this week.
Like all good clues, that tweet refers to another one. Soohoo CBS is Anthony Soohoo. From his linkedin page, look at what he's in charge of:

No wonder Alex is excited. I never thought we'd see season 2.
eta. theschnauzers, It appears from apskip's link that they have taken down the clips for the show on WGN's web site. The facebook link that Peach posted does have a few clips though but it's nowhre near as comprehensive as the old WGN site.
Otherwise, you'll have to travel to Greece to view the program. :duno: It's currently being shown on the new Greece FX network http://www.fxtv.gr/Series/Around/Episodes
