Downton Abbey (PBS) – Did you know that the whole first season of this show is available for free on PBS’s website until the 17th? You didn’t? And you, like me, have really been meaning to get caught up on it because all those stupid smart people keep saying how good it is? Sounds like we’ve got a busy weekend.
Golden Globe Awards (NBC, Sunday) – HAVE YOU GUYS HEARD THAT RICKY GERVAIS IS EDGY AND DOESN’T PULL PUNCHES? I KNOW! SO ZANY. (More importantly, did you know that we’re live-blogging the show over at the Uproxx mothership? I’m gonna get drunk and call Fassbender a wanker. He knows what he did.)
Fringe (FOX, Friday) – What it do, nerds?
Miss America Pageant (ABC, Saturday) – Whatever happened to that one beauty pageant girl who loved to party? You know, the blonde one. I liked her.
Saturday Night Live (NBC, Saturday) – Hosted by Daniel Radcliffe, with musical guest Lana Del Rey. I have never seen nor heard anything either of those people have been involved in. I’m okay with that.
Hell on Wheels (AMC, Sunday) – Season finale. I couldn’t really get into this show because one of my history teachers spoiled it for me back in high school when she taught us that the railroad eventually got completed. Same lady ruined Titanic for me. What a bitch.
Napoleon Dynamite (FOX, Sunday) – Series premiere. Kinda weird how every single person from the movie was available to do this cartoon eight years later. It’s almost like the movie was an overrated piece of junk and their careers never took off the way everyone thought they would. Huh.
Shameless/House of Lies/Californication (Showtime, Sunday) – I just finished my “Californication” spec script. Lemme know what you guys think: DAVID DUCHOVNY: Hey, I’m kind of a tool. PRETTY GIRL: [removes shirt]. (repeat until credits)
There’s entirely too much new TV this weekend to squeeze into this post. Feel free to add anything I didn’t include in the comments.

FOOTBALL! Saints/49ers, Tebows/Bradys on Saturday. Texans/Ravens, Giants/Packers Sunday.
What did your history teacher say about the Killing?
I love “Napoleon Dynamite” and I still think the show is the worst idea ever.
The movie was good and I don’t care what you say.
Fringe (FOX, Friday) – What it do, nerds?
Hey, I’m just glad that you’re acknowledging it.
The first episode of the eighth and final season of the kickass British con show Hustle debuts (checks watch) thirty minutes ago and is available on the internet wherever intellectual property rights are ignored with gentle loving care.
Downton Abbey is totally badass. Maggie Smith owns that show.
The lady wants to get caught up on Downton Abbey this weekend. I’m not kidding. I hope it’s not as boring as it seems it may be.
The drama I didn’t really care about but is hilarious and some of the ladies are decent looking except the ugly sister and they let you know she is ugly. Maggie Smith is great.
Walternate tonight. I take no offense, sir.
Thats the best episode of Californication I ever read.
“PRETTY GIRL: [removes shirt]” works for the entire Showtime Sunday lineup. Marketing geniuses!
“I have never seen nor heard anything either of those people have been involved in…”
Little movie called Harry Potter. I think maybe they made a sequel also.
…and i cannot read apparently. My mistake.
I’m really confused. It’s as if some of you think that a girl removing he shirt is a bad thing. Well, you can always go and see Shame in the theaters…
Oh, I’ll be watching Showtime’s Sunday lineup. I wasn’t actually being sarcastic with the “marketing geniuses” line.
“Removes shirt.” has a real and palpable dramatic affect and underscores the ‘woman as Goddess’ concept.
If you know what I mean.
I love Ricky so I’ll be watching the Golden Globes just to see what he’ll say. The ONLY awards show I’ll ever watch and I still don’t care who wins. Cheers!
so i know a lot of folks have crapped on hells on wheels but it has a good amount of violence including the AMAZING beheading of a racist solider with his own sword by a crazy, drunken priest! I don’t care, any show with that kicks ass.
I like it too; it would be better if they had the freedom and financial backing that Deadwood had.
Woo, Hustle returns! Suck it, Leverage!
Lakers vs. Clippers – Saturday 7:30pm pst.
My complete aversion to anything Gawker means that I’ll never check out “Downtown Abbey”
*anything Gawker related
*Downton
Jesus. I’m batting .000 today
Gawker is on the internet… what are you doing on the internet?
Sherlock ends on Sunday for anyone who doesn’t care for intellectual property rights or 1920s mansion erotica.
No love for Dean Pelton (Jim Rash) from ‘Community”? He’s nominated for writing ‘The Descendants’.
When is Gilligan’s Island on?
Whos that in the what now?
Y U NO RIVEBROG, WARMINGGROW?
