Mildred Pierce (HBO, Sunday) — Miniseries premiere. This looks so unbearably white and melodramatic that I’m surprised it’s not set in England. The first two of five parts air Sunday, but you can skip this week because Evan Rachel Wood and her merkin apparently don’t show up until the final two episodes. If you’re interested, you can read Alan Sepinwall’s review here.
Shameless (Showtime, Sunday) — Season finale. I have a yet to hear a single bad opinion of this show — it’s supposed to be great, from the acting to the writing to Emmy Rossum’s boobs. I’ll try to get caught up. Followed by: Season 4 finale of Californication.
Shark Tank (ABC, Friday) — Season premiere. Mark Cuban and Jeff Foxworthy join the panel this season. “You might be a millionaire if you can find a memorable way to tell the same joke 800,000 times.”
Amazing Wedding Cakes (WEtv, Sunday) — Season premiere. If you think about it, this is basically “Entourage” for women.
No Ordinary Family (ABC, Saturday) — This clunky, poorly written Incredibles knock-off was a waste of Michael Chiklis and Julie Benz, and now the leads have already signed on to new projects for next fall because cancellation is all but assured — the new Saturday time slot should tip you off to that.
NCAA Basketball (CBS, all weekend) — It’s gonna be tough to do better than Duke losing in the Sweet 16, but there’s still plenty to be excited for. Go, point spread!

I quit Shameless after the 5th episode, it just keeps trying to outdo itself every week with completely over the top idiotic story lines, the acting is piss, every character is hollow and unlikeable like a fake leg and smell even worse. May god have mercy on your soul.
i feel the same way about shameless, doesn’t do much for me, except for emmy rossum of course
Watching Duke lose in the Sweet 16 was glorious. Sure, you could say it’s kinda’ bitchy to root against a team, but they’re evil and they suck.
If the Heels make it to the Elite 8, my season is complete.
Alan Sepinwall reviewed Evan Rachel Wood’s merkin?
Did he do it in a way that makes me want to strangle him with a mismatched pair of those tube socks with the three stripes on the top like Mr. Skin does?
you have yet to hear a single bad opinion of Shameless? Well let me enlighten you. The show sucks a huge amount of balls to the total max. My girlfriend makes me watch this garbage and from the little that has been forced into my eyes has been pure garbage. Another one of those shows trying to make it too season 2 by throwing everything they think will shock you onto the screen. Wussy little ginger homo butt pounding an arabian homo in the pooper while at work, dad taking it up the butt with a dildo from some crazy lady who can’t leave her house.under the table blowjob/ study sessions were pretty sweet though. All and all the show is just plaing stupid. Not enough good writers to come up with anything actually worth watching so they just try to shock you with brainless eye trash. News flash to the writers of this drivel, we have the net now. We can get our porn anytime we want. Stop thinking your so damn witty with your homoerotic plot twists and otherwise flimsy story lines. You freaking puds.
Mr. Skin strangles people with tube shocks?
Actually, that sounds about right.
Patty- I hope Roy Williams chokes on a diet coke.
How can someone with exceptional tv taste, witty personality and killer ass* be a UNC fan?
*making an assumption
Simpy you forgot a stolen child, a faked funeral, faking a senile old lady to be your grandma and of course the evil bully who torments you relentlessly ends up chugging your cock

Ahhh…..And I find myself hoisted by Captain Picard! Touche!
Duke didn’t simply lose. They imploded in a meltdown of epic proportions.
And to a state school of such common breeding, as well! For shame.
Shameless was trashy, “shocking!”, SHIT for the first 8 episodes until they stopped with it being a procedural of “silly” asshole family hijinx and actually realized there were some good characters there (i.e. Fiona, Lip and Debbie.) It’s not great and in fact those first 8 episode were barely mediocre, but Emmy Rossum might just pick up an, well, Emmy nomination (God, I hate myself) as she’s been really good.
But holy shit snacks, do I want to punch that smug fucker Steve in the face every time I see him. He’s seriously got the smuggest fucking face I have ever seen.
Im not gonna lie, i watch Shameless just to see Emmy Rossum fuck.
If Amazing Wedding Cakes is Entourage for women I’d like to look into being neither gender.
Shameless isn’t bad. It has that first season vibe; there are some plot lines that need improvement & there are a couple characters that aren’t great, but it’s definitely worth watching, it’s funny & clever & Emmy Rossum is a delight! It’s nice to watch a show with a realistic portrayal of a gay teen too (suck it Glee!) The bad thing is that they have these great male homosexual characters, but the lesbian characters are terrible cliches that make me cringe. The show as a whole actually reminds me a lot of The Riches – its first season was flawed but really solid & entertaining & then it totally faltered & failed in the second season. Hopefully that won’t happen to Shameless.
How can someone with exceptional tv taste, witty personality and killer ass* be a UNC fan?
Wait, when did I ever say I was a UNC fan?
“Shameless” would be better if it was called “Shamless,” and was about well-dressed, slick con artists struggling to go straight. Like “Leverage” meets “Mad Men” meets The Thomas Crown Affair.
Also, Emmy Rossum will be nude in the opening credits.
How dare you, sir. How dare you. Roy Williams is the best. How many other coaches would outright tell their own fans to quit their bitching and have some faith that the team would get better? The best part is that he was right, and now we’re in the Elite 8.
And I love anyone who has the balls to call the ACC tournament a “big cocktail party.”
If Coach K is a rat, then Ol’ Roy is a honey badger. He just doesn’t give a shit.
Long story short, I am very passionate about this and I will fight you.
No love for Norm MacDonald’s standup special?
I wish I was current enough on college BB to find a large stick to poke Patty with (not THAT euphemism) and run away. Maybe it will happen when they lose horribly….
We need to make shirts with Roy’s face and underneath
“He just doesn’t give a shit”
or
“look at that sleepy little fuck”
