Saturday Night Live (NBC, Saturday 11:30 p.m.) – Justin Timberlake hosts. Will Andy Samberg return to do a Digital Short with him? [shakes a Magic 8 Ball that cracked a decade ago and lost all its fluid, Magic 8 Ball just rattles a lot and provides no answer] Crap. He probably will, though.
Game of Thrones: A Gathering Storm (HBO, Friday 9:45 p.m.) – HBO is showing a 15-minute preview of the new season at 9:45 tonight. It’ll probably tell us next to nothing and just make the wait until the premiere even more unbearable. I am going to watch it 20 times. (UPDATE: It’s actually a recap of Season Two. Pretend I never said anything.)
The Walking Dead (AMC, Sunday 9 p.m.) – From TV Guide: “Rick and the Governor contemplate a peace treaty.” Really, TV Guide? That’s all you’re gonna give us? Horsesh-t. (Reminder: This GIF. Forever.)
The Bible/Vikings (History Channel, 8-11 p.m.) – The Bible and vikings. Two great tastes, together at last!
Red Widow (ABC, Sunday 10 p.m.) – This show got mostly crappy reviews and I have no intention of watching it, but it still gets an A+ for the tagline “The only way out … IS DEEPER IN!” Incredibly strong.
The Good Wife (CBS, Sunday 9 p.m.) – I know it’s up against The Walking Dead and there are hardly any zombies in it, but The Good Wife is excellent and you should watch it. I’m glad we had this talk.
The Client List (Lifetime, 10 p.m.) – Season two premiere. I said just about everything I had to say about the show back here, but that post contains a video of Jennifer Love Hewitt singing and dancing in her underpants, so I think linking back to it is the proper thing to do in this situation.
Grimm (NBC, Friday 9 p.m.) – Community gets all the attention when it comes to NBC’s scheduling incompetence, but please also remember that they yoinked this show off the air for several months because NBC.

Vikings was solid enough last week that I’m willing to continue to watch.. for now.
Here here. Hope it keeps it up. Episode 2 is up on demand right now.
With the way they’ve fucked up the scheduling with Community, Grimm, and Revolution (AKA the only 3 shows other than Parks and Rec that people watch), I wouldn’t be surprised if some executive did it on purpose because he knew he was getting fired.
I’ve missed Grimm. I won’t fill the Fringe-shaped hole in my heart, but it’s dopey fun and good for tired Friday night viewing.
walking dead hardly has any zombies in it
Uh, hate to disagree with you there Danger but “A Gathering Storm” is just a recap of Season 2 of Game of Thrones, not a preview of season 3.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww dicks.
You fucking truth teller, you.
I like Grimm. It is silly and supernatural, but that is sort of my thing. But I have never watched it on anything but on demand because I have no idea when it is on.
I am both excited and terrified for Timberlake hosting SNL. On the one hand, he’s usually pretty good. On the other hand, this season has been pretty terrible.
At least Walking Dead should deliver.
This season of SNL has been much better than last season’s, forget what ya heard. They’re finally letting the young talent do their thing rather than shoehorning Wiig & Armisen into every skit.
A Rick/Governor peace treaty would work as well as the the 1939 Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact.
That’s about as funny as a screen door on a battleship.
