Contest: “Welcome to Sweden: The Complete First Season” & “ROGUE: The Complete Second Season”

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Americans best know Sweden for exports such as meatballs, Ikea furniture and Volvo. But on May 19, Entertainment One (eOne) adds “sitcoms” to the list with its co-produced series WELCOME TO SWEDEN: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON, a 2-disc DVD set. The acclaimed NBC sitcom, an offbeat single-camera comedy from executive producers and siblings Greg & Amy Poehler (“Parks and Recreation”) and created by and starring Greg, became one of the highest-rated summer broadcast comedies of the past five years when it debuted last July. And before its second season debuts, experience a strange land and its stranger customs, in this fish-out-of-water sitcom called “the best new NBC comedy in a long time”.

Based on Greg Poehler’s true life story, WELCOME TO SWEDEN, follows a successful New York money manager to the stars, Bruce (Greg Poehler) who falls in love with a Swedish girl, Emma (Josephine Bornebusch, top-rated Swedish drama “Solsidan”), and follows her back to her native Stockholm when she returns for a job. Moving halfway around the world with a new love is a huge step and Bruce, with no job, friends or real clue about what he is getting himself into, is quick to face the many unique challenges and culture clashes that living in a foreign land presents — most notably, how to win over Emma’s strange and very Swedish family. From Bruce’s comical struggles to learn the language to his exploits behind the wheel of a Swedish car, run-ins at the immigration office and with his celebrity clientele, WELCOME TO SWEDEN reveals itself to be “romantically old-fashioned… and delightfully weird”.

Making his acting debut, Greg stars in the series along with Bornebusch, and Lena Olin (Chocolat, The Ninth Gate) as Emma’s therapist mother Viveka, retired sea captain father, Birger (Claes Månsson), and Illeana Douglas (Easy to Assemble, Grace of My Heart) and Patrick Duffy (“Dallas”) as Bruce’s parents. They’re joined in the inaugural season by guest stars Amy Poehler, Aubrey Plaza, Will Ferrell and Gene Simmons, who make guest appearances as themselves in this series predominately shot on location in Stockholm.
