Showtime Sets Return Dates for Shameless, House of Lies, and Californication

Showtime has turned Sundays, once a day of worship, football, and hangovers, into evenings of lasciviousness! And we're totally okay with that. The network has announced return dates for Californication, House of Lies, and Shameless: All three series will debut new seasons on Sunday, January 13.

Shameless's Season 3 premiere will start things off at 9pm, jumping forward a few months after the events of the Season 2 finale. Frank in Mexico = bueno times.

That'll be followed at 10pm by the Season 2 premiere of House of Lies, which will examine what happens to Marty's team after the big merger showdown.

And still kicking at 10:30pm will be Californication, now heading into Season 6, with Hank's book being turned into a Broadway musical. Joining the cast this season will be Maggie Grace and Jorge Garcia of Lost fame. And there will be boobs. That's a promise. Let's just hope they aren't Jorge's.

Showtime Renews Episodes for Season 3

Looks like we'll be getting a second season of hockey comedy Pucks! The show-within-a-show will be back, as will the show it lives within, Episodes. Showtime renewed the Matt LeBlanc comedy today and will begin production on the nine-episode third season next year.

Episodes stars LeBlanc as a dopier version of himself starring in a television show that's being adapted for America from its British original. At the center are the couple (Stephen Mangan, Tamsin Greg) that created the British original as Hollywood tears into their souls and makes them do things like have sex with starlets!

Most of what I've seen of Episodes has been inconsistent, and I haven't kept tabs on it very closely. But I'm open to suggestion if you guys think otherwise. Should I watch Season 2? Decide my fate in the comments below, but if you make me watch it and I hate it, I will come after each and every one of you.
