Game of Thrones (HBO, Sunday) – Season premiere. After a million trailers and promotional images, season two is finally here. I hope. I said this on Twitter, but if the April 1 premiere date is just an elaborate April Fools joke that ends with HBO running an “Arli$$” marathon, I’ll be furious.
Mad Men (AMC, Sunday) – On Sunday night, you can roll from the “Game of Thrones” premiere at 9 right into the second episode of “Mad Men” at 10. This is nice.
The Killing (AMC, Sunday) – Two hour premiere. Listen, you can do whatever the hell you want with your time. If you want to watch “The Killing,” be my guest. My strategy, on the other hand, will be to sit back and wait for some reviews of the season to start coming in, and only dip my toe in if things are looking significantly better. Otherwise, I’m out.
Shameless/House of Lies/Californication (Showtime, Sunday) – Season finales all around. If there were more hours in the day, I’d be much more familiar with these shows. I’ve enjoyed “Shameless” whenever I’ve caught it, but Sunday nights are just insane. (See above.)
Spartacus: Vengeance (Starz, Friday) – Season finale. I know kind of a lot about Ancient Rome. I’m not exactly sure where I picked it all up. Maybe from that show on the History Channel that Robocop hosted
GCB (ABC, Sunday) – From TV Guide: “Heather invites Sheryl Crow to perform at the annual church fundraiser, but Gigi and Burl steal the show.” This show premiered like 30 seconds ago and they’re already rolling out the celebrity guest stars. I do not believe that is a good sign.
NCAA Basketball Tournament: Final Four (CBS, Saturday) – “Basketball Jones! I got a Basketball Jones! I got a Basketball Jones, oh baby, oo-OO-OO-oo.” [checks "Make Space Jam reference" off to-do list.]

I will never watch ‘The Killing’ again, season two reviews be damned. It could turn into an hour long Alison Brie and Olivia Wilde naked pillowfights and I still won’t tune in. I’ve got like, convictions and shit.
Allow me to repeat myself: “Now that is just crazy talk.” The part about not watching the naked pillowfight. I completely agree about “The Killing”. The show was meandering and pointless long before the completely anti-climactic season finale. In fact I’d ask “What the hell is going on at AMC?” It took them forever to get a new season of “Mad Men”, they screwed up “Rubicon”, “The Killing” was a meandering mess, and don’t even get me started on “The Walking Dead.”
They are becoming the resident experts on how to take a great series and quickly run it into the ground.
if you’re still watching “the Killing”, you deserve whatever you get from it.
It’s a smorgasbord! The Killing, House of Lies, AND GCB! Heavens mercy me.
God Arli$$ would be the ultimate “Fuck you”
I don’t know, maybe a late season “First and Ten” marathon? THAT would be HBO rubbing taint to face.
That would be better than the South Park April Fool’s joke of running Terrance and Philip instead of finding out who Cartman’s father is.
I’m having trouble the the comments on certain pages. Hodor!
if this how the next 10+sundays are, with GoT at 9 and mad men at 10, then the rest of tv could air Allison brie mudwrestling kate upton and I’d still not watch it.
You wouldn’t watch Alison Brie mudwrestling Kate Upton? Now that’s just crazy talk.
I have the weirdest most-appropriate boner right now
html fail. damn strikethrough
Ah, a Game of Thrones boner. A Game of Throner, if you will.
Space Jam reference? SPACE JAM REFERENCE?!?!?! DG, with all due respect, that, sir, is an old school Cheech and Chong reference.
HODOR! (Which I think is how Uproxx users should greet each other from now on)
I’ve just watched episodes 9-10 of House of Lies, and have to say I’m hoping for a second season. Needs work, but it’s engaging.
Tits, Midgets, or GTFO
Is two hours of the Killing one of those Zen puzzles? Instead of “what is the sound of one hand clapping”, this is “what is the slowest thing imaginable, twofold?”

Calfornication season summary
Charlie Runkle: humiliated, fucks above paygrade, shows his ass a lot
Duchoveney: fucks (missing) wife of Raylan Givens, fucks lots of other unlikely chicks, nice guy underneath it all, loves ex-wife and troll daughter, drinks-a-lot
Other characters do other crazy shit
Rapper and good looking negress (ish) main unbelievable side-story this year…
I assume someone is already working on putting Pam’s Lord Byron tattoo on Betty Draper’s back…
They must have hired Khloe Kardashian as a consultant for designing her fat suit
Yeah. Why did they have to ruin what could have been such great sideboob? Matthew Weiner is an asshole.
I am pretty sure she ate the other bobbies and has assimiliated them.
I want to see the full-length film version of “Don and Harry Go to White Castle.”
January Jones in a fat suit? January Jones in a fat suit.
