Two story lines in Homeland that need to go away or get resolved quickly.
Brody and Carrie need to stop their romance. I am not sure if it’s just me, but whenever I see the two of them kissing I get so annoyed and fast forward through their scenes. Wrap this up fast please Homeland writers.
The romance/hit & run between the two teenagers needs to go away forever. It’s just an awful story line and completely unnecessary, unless I am missing something central to the overall story, but I don’t think so. Send them off to separate boarding schools and let’s just see them in 2 minute phone call scenes. Thank you.

Showtime has officially canceled Weeds — and only about five seasons too late! Season eight will be the show’s last which isn’t exactly bad news considering how much the series has declined over the years. Admittedly, there were a few great moments in the last couple of seasons but they were never enough to make up for the show’s bigger flaws. Plus, it got really hard to care about Nancy Botwin once Walter White started hanging around our televisions. But really, we’re just hoping that Shane and Silas will get a Botwin Brothers spinoff.

Showtime has picked up both of its drama pilots, Ray Donovan and Masters Of Sex, to series.
Ray Donovan takes a novelistic look at contemporary Los Angeles. It centers on Ray (Schreiber) asL.A.’s best professional “trouble shooter” who is called in to solve the complicated, confidential and controversial problems of the city’s elite.
Ray Donovan sounds a TINY bit like Scandal, no?
Masters Of Sex chronicles the unusual lives, romance and pop culture trajectory of Masters and Johnson. Their research touched off the sexual revolution and took them from a mid-western teaching hospital in St. Louis to the cover of Time magazine and nearly a dozen appearances on Johnny Carson’s couch.
Lizzy Caplan starring in a series is always a good thing.

“I think there’s something kind of classic about Lip in that he’s this rebellious character with a heart. And I think that people just love to watch that. It’s kind of like Paul Newman and Steve McQueen and James Dean: They’re these kind of good guys with rebellious tendencies. I even battled with the thought, Is it pathetic, or is it a beautiful romance? I think people like to see that struggle and maybe sometimes lean towards the romance side.” -Shameless’s Jeremy Allen White

One of the things I love about Cougar Town is the intentional cameos by its stars on other shows, especially the Cougar Town/Community love affair. I rewatched the first season of Shameless so I can catch up and watch the second season which just started a few weeks ago and I spotted Barb as a cougar and wondered if this was intentional or is the actress just getting typecast. Does Barb summer in Chicago?

Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan will play the leads in Showtime’s Masters of Sex.
The pilot will follow the relationship of 1960s human sexuality pioneers William Masters (Sheen) and Virginia Johnson (Caplan). Based on Thomas Maier’s acclaimed 2009 book about the couple, the project is written by Michelle Ashford (The Pacific) and directed by John Madden (Shakespeare in Love).
The more Lizzy Caplan is on our televisions the luckier we are as humans.

Shameless was renewed for a third season! Showtime also renewed House of Lies, which we’re pretty indifferent about at this point, and Californication, which should have been taken out back and shot but hey, at least we get more of the Gallagher family.
Speaking of, I think now is a good time to take advantage of those comments we recently enabled and talk about the last few episodes of Shameless. Because — SPOILER ALERTZ — I have a lot of feelings about Frank intentionally fucking a woman to death AND Karen getting knocked up and I really need to work through them like some sort of television therapy.

“I already had my first woody — in history class, talking about how Marie Antoinette’s head got chopped off.”
Shameless has so many characters floating in and out that it’s impossible to focus on all of them, but I am dying for more of Carl being Carl.

I think I hate myself for hating House of Lies.
I want to like this show because, I mean, the actors are so good. Kristen Bell, Don Cheadle (on a bed of rice), and Ben Schwartz all together being snarky and stuff. I think the real problem with this show is that it thinks it’s better than it really is. I’ll watch a couple episodes because that what I do and I am really interested to see how they handle Don Cheadle’s transgendered son’s storyline. But ugh so many problems.
Let’s chat about this show on twitter or in our comments.
