Six Feet Under Returns!
()
We love the happenings at Fisher & Sons and we're pretty sure you do, too. The new and final (sniff!) season of Six Feet Under premieres on HBO on Monday, June 6th at 9PM. This truly is our last chance to crush on Claire Fisher and hope that David and Keith finally get it together and pray that Nate and Brenda will help each other find happiness. They broke down the sets this past week so there's no coming back.
We've got something to lessen the blow, though. We're giving away 3 prizes to celebrate the return of probably the best show based in and around LA!
One grand prize winner will get 1 copy of the Season 3 DVD, 1 copy of the Soundtrack (volume 2), 1 poster signed by Alan Ball and 1 photo signed by the ENTIRE cast of Six Feet Under.
Support for LAist comes from
1st runner up will win a copy of the Season 3 DVD and the 2nd runner up will win a copy of the Volume 2 Soundtrack.
Enter after the jump and don't forget to watch the new season of Six Feet Under on Monday.
Fine Print: Entries received by 5:00 PM PST Friday, June 10th will eligible to win tickets. Affiliates of LAist (and any other -ist sites), HBO, and Greenblatt/Janollari are not eligible to enter.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
