The third season of 'Spartacus' kicks off tonight, the first football free Sunday in months, and the rest of the weekend's television highlights.

We love you, Joel McHale and Nathan Fillion and Jasika Nicole and Matt Smith and everyone else on the TV Guide Fan Favorites panel.

Game of Thrones (HBO, Sunday) - Season premiere.

Considering half of all scripted TV shows are either remakes of old shows and movies and/or hyper-violent historical tales, I suppose a series based on Braveheart was only a matter of time.

The second season of "Spartacus" doesn't debut until January 27th, but Starz announced today that the show has already been renewed for a third season (the six-episode "Gods of the Arena" prequel isn't counted as a season).

Andy Whitfield, the original star of Starz's surprise hit "Spartacus," died yesterday at the age of 39 from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
