The Andromeda Strain: Grand Premiere Giveaway

Win Super Swag from the A&E Miniseries

The Andromeda Strain

Memorial Day is just around the corner, and it’s definitely not going to be a holiday for the characters on the A&E miniseries The Andromeda Strain. For one lucky person, however, the exact opposite will be true when they win a spectacular prize package in celebration of the television event.

Based on the best-selling novel from Michael Crichton, The Andromeda Strain is an original A&E miniseries that stars a slew of familiar faces, including Benjamin Bratt (E-Ring, Law & Order), Eric McCormack (Will & Grace, Lonesome Dove series), Ricky Schroder (NYPD Blue, Silver Spoons), Andre Braugher (Thief, Homicide: Life on the Street), Christa Miller (Scrubs, The Drew Carey Show), Daniel Dae Kim (Lost, Angel), and Viola Davis (Traveler, Jesse Stone telemovies).

The plot of the four-hour miniseries is set in motion when a U.S. military satellite crashes in a small town and unleashes a deadly plague that kills all but two survivors. As the military quarantines the area, a team of highly specialized scientists is assembled to find a cure to the pathogen code-named “Andromeda.” Soon, a reporter also begins to investigate a government conspiracy only to discover what he’s chasing wants him silenced.

Learn more about The Andromeda Strain at the official website before it airs on Monday, May 26, and Tuesday, May 27, from 9pm–11pm EST. You can also enter the giveaway hosted here at tv|jots simply by leaving a comment on this post stating which Andromeda star you like most and why.

Make sure to use a valid email address so that you can be contacted if you win, and if Blogger’s comment system makes it impossible to leave your email address without revealing it to the world, simply enter via the contact page.

The giveaway is open to U.S. residents only, and the entry deadline is Tuesday, May 27, at 11:59pm EST. Afterwards, one winner will be randomly chosen to receive a spectacular prize package containing:

  • The Andromeda Strain t-shirt
  • The Andromeda Strain DVD collection featuring both the 2008 A&E miniseries and the Oscar-nominated 1971 film
  • The Andromeda Strain novel by Michael Crichton

  60. Bratt’s the general fave, but I like Daniel of Lost fame. He’s an actor who can make his character at once stoic and expressive, loveable and hate-able at the same time. An unpredictable factor at best. He’s the one to watch out for!

  92. I’ve seen part one of the film. EXCELLENT stuff. Sadly, I’ll miss part two because I work a 24 hour shift on the second day and we have no cable at work. :-( The DVD will complete me. I am a fan of the original 1971 movie as well.

    My favourite character in this film is Andre Braugher’s … General George Mancheck. Is the general a good guy or a bad guy? Or is he just caught in the middle of a government/military conspiracy or something bigger? Andre is an excellent actor whom I’ve admired from his years in “Homicide: Life On The Streets” which is my all time favourite

  93. Andre Braugher because he is such a great actor

  94. Eric McCormack . One of my favorite actors.

  95. Rick Schroder because of his being a foil for Brad Pitt oh sorry Benjamin Bratt who? garrettsambo@aol.com
