As your go-to market for Social TV, GetGlue not only maintains a massive database of U.S. shows, present and past, to which you can check-in for stickers, prizes, and to discuss many plot surprises. GetGlue also has scoured the globe (and continues to hunt) to collect thousands of television shows from around the planet. As well, we now ship stickers internationally!

The penguin on your telly will explode (it was a lucky guess) for the United Kingdom’s grand tradition of classic programmes.  Use GetGlue to check-in to long-running police dramas like Midsomer Murders, brand new period pieces such as Mr. Selfridge, starring Jeremy Piven, popular reality shows including Strictly Come Dancing, or long running soaps like EastEnders.

Canada’s your game, eh? From stirring thriller Bomb Girls to the humor of Republic of Doyle, from soul-tugging ranchhand drama Heartland to the fierce competition of reality show Dragons Den, GetGlue has a hearty helping of television from the True North on which to chime in, and we are always scanning the tundra for more.

Or perhaps it’s shows from the land Down Under which have you grinning like a shot fox. While you’re vegging out, check-in to the family goodness of Packed To The Rafters or the celebrity comedy of Lowdown. You can opine on the coming-of-age drama of Puberty Blues or what happened on the long-running, hard-hitting news program Four Corners.

Perhaps you fancy a romp through the past? GetGlue’s archives also include classics from Fawlty Towers to Slings & Arrows to Full Frontal (which introduced future-Hulk Eric Bana). Did you search for one of your favorite titles from the UK, Canada, or Australia (or other parts of the world) and come up empty, please email and let us know what other shows you’d love to see in GetGlue HD, and we’ll add them with all due speed…and keep checking-in.

Today is a big day for all of us at GetGlue, as we are announcing a plan to merge with Viggle!

The combined company is going to have nearly 4.5M registered users and will be the clear leader in Social TV.

In the past couple of months the two companies started talking and it became clear that there are a lot of synergies and benefits to a combination.

GetGlue has become the favorite Social TV application, helping over 3 million fans socialize on the second screen, and discover what to watch. Viggle has focused on loyalty and rewards, as well as unique second screen experiences ViggleLive and MyGuy.

Both companies are passionate about building great products that help connect users, networks and brands on the second screen. And lastly, our offices in NYC are just two blocks of each other - so the combination also makes sense from a real-estate perspective too.

What can you expect from the two companies right now and in the future? Whether you are one of our users or partners in coming weeks it will be business as usual. (Don’t worry stickers are not going away!). Please continue to use and enjoy our products as you have been.

In the mean time, we will be getting the teams together over the holidays so be sure - to expect great second screen products from us in 2013.

Thank you for helping us get this far. We value our relationship and look forward to delighting you with more Social TV goodness in the near future.

As they say on the first screen - stay tuned!
