Adultery, A Death Obsession, and a Premature Death. Review: Shameless - "I'll Light a Candle for You Every Day" 3

Morality comes to the forefront in this episode of Shameless, something the Gallaghers usually spend little time thinking about. Fiona (Emily Rossum) hooks up with high school sweetheart Craig Heisner (Taylor Kinney, The Vampire Diaries) on Facebook and must determine whether to sleep with him; and Frank (William H. Macy) has to decide just how far he’s willing to go to get his mitts on Dottie’s (Molly Price) money. Then there’s Kev (Steve Howey), who wants to buy The Alibi Room from Stan (Jack Carter); and Debbie (Emma Kenney) is obsessed with death following Harry’s passing last week.

Review: Shameless - "Summer Loving" (Relationships Aren’t Always What They Appear to Be) @Sho_Kareem 5

“Summer Loving” is all about relationships, both new and old, but not all work out as planned. Frank (William H. Macy) pursues Dottie (Molly Price), a woman awaiting for a heart transplant and doesn’t have anyone to inherit her home and pension should she die; Ian (Cameron Monaghan) resumes his relationship with Mickey (Noel Fisher) now that Mickey’s out of jail; and Lip (Jeremy Allen White) comes to a realization about his relationship with Karen (Laura Wiggins) now that she’s seeing Jody (Zach McGowan).

When I was a young girl, my father owned a race horse named Paula Vo. I used to love going to the track with him and watching and learning all the ins and outs of the racing world. So when HBO announced it was going to air Luck, a new series giving us a behind-the-track look at the world of horse racing and gambling’s denizens – owners, trainers, jockeys and gamblers – I was thrilled. From acclaimed director Michael Mann and Deadwood creator David Milch, the nine-episode premiere season of Luck stars Oscar® winner Dustin Hoffman and Oscar® nominee Nick Nolte, and debuts Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 9:00 pm ET/PT.

A Bud Bonfire, A Taser-Proof Thug and New "Jobs" for Everyone. Review: Shameless - "Summertime" 13

What can I say about the second season premiere of Shameless other than I absolutely loved it! The Gallaghers are back and at the top of their game – conning everyone around them. Their bad behavior is as essential as their love for one another. Frank (William H. Macy) reaches a new all-time low; darling Fiona (Emily Rossum) deals with Steve’s (Justin Chatwin) departure; Debby (Emma Kenney) is running an illegal daycare center; Lip (Jeremy Allen White) is in a fight club and selling weed out of an old ice cream truck; and Ian (Cameron Monaghan), who’s still in the closet for the most part, is serious about going to West Point.

Review: #Homeland Season Finale - "Marine One" (“Why kill a man when you can kill an idea?”) 17

Rarely do I give six stars to an episode I’m reviewing, but “Marine One” more than deserves it. From the minute the episode begins, it’s clear we’re in for another roller coaster ride of an episode—which makes sense since we’ve been on them all season long. What an exciting season finale! “Marine One” successfully builds the tension and intrigue throughout, taking us on a series of highs and lows which had me barely breathing through key scenes and ultimately had me on the edge of my seat for the entire 90 minutes. I can’t remember the last time a series did that for me. It was thrilling, compelling, intriguing, and mesmerizing all at the same time.

You know how sometimes, things don’t turn out to be exactly how you remember them? That’s exactly the case with “High School Reunion, Part 2: The Gang’s Revenge.” When Dennis (Glenn Howerton) and Dee (Kaitlin Olson) are left alone at a table during their high school reunion, they begin to formulate a plan to get back into the good graces of those who left them there.

It’s that time of life again—you know, when you attend your high school reunion in the hopes no one will remember the stupid things you used to do and say? Well, that’s what the Gang hopes, anyway. Frank’s (Danny DeVito) going because he just wants to tag along, as usual; Dee (Kaitlin Olson) wants to show off her back sans the brace she used to wear; Dennis (Glenn Howerton) can’t wait to see the “minions” who treated him like a “golden God;” Mac (Rob McElhenney) wants to show everyone he’s an adult now instead of the class clown/drug dealer he used to be; and Charlie…well, Charlie (Charlie Day) really hasn’t changed much since high school.

Well, he along with award-winning producer David E. Kelley of Ally McBeal and Chicago Hope fame. If that’s not a winning combination, I don’t know what is. Gupta’s upcoming novel “Monday Mornings,” to be published in March 2012, is the basis for the new show, with Kelley penning the pilot script.
