Don't forget to cancel your Prime trial before the end of the 30 days or you'll be out $99!

They could have at least tapped Bruno Mars for that cover? He can at least do yelpy and pull it off.

I've been one of the bigger apologists for Vinyl since the premiere, mainly because I really, really want to see it do well, and I still think it's more well done overall than a lot of the crap on primetime, but I couldn't get behind this episode.

He was also the best guest actor to land on Nurse Jackie. So many layers, that Dr. Cruz had…

Tell me more about this bridge you have for sale…

Showtime typically announces it's a "final season" a month or two before that season's premiere date. At least, I recall that being the case with Californication and Nurse Jackie.

As far as "weird for the sake of weird" coming-of-age indie dramas go! I haven't seen it in years, but there's a beautiful montage set to "Thirteen" that makes it worth seeing at least once. Check it out.

Even if Vinyl doesn't pan out, I would totally watch a spinoff series, in which Dev, Zak and Lester drive around in a Van, solving mysteries.

The brief inclusion of "Thirteen" made me want to re-watch Thumbsucker. And listen to Garbage's really well done cover of that song.

I miss Fiona having non-romance related plotlines. She's become the Sarah Braverman of Shameless.

The aforementioned scene between Ian, Lip and Carl reminded me of just how much better this show used to be. The Lip-Ian dynamic, especially, was the heart of the first three seasons.
It really looks as if the writers are poising Shameless to end…

"His brother was worse!"

Like most Showtime series', I've concluded that I'm going to pretend Shameless ended after season 4.

The "liberals v. conservatives" conversation in Episode 1 felt incredibly half-assed and forced, but I liked the political commentary in this episode, mainly because it fit rather well with Sylvia's character. It further established her as a shortsighted, presumptuous narcissist, and way more similar to the members of…

Ahhh. Yeah, that'll do it.

I mean, it's either one of those, or another incarnation of "Kate McKinnon sits there and uses a thick accent with no real material for four minutes". I'd pick the former, honestly.

It peaked, in my opinion, with the 2000 election. Ferrell's Bush with Hammond's Gore, followed by the real Al Gore hosting shortly after the whole debacle, was legendary.

The Larry David and Drake episodes were both pretty solid. That's twice.

Was Pete Davidson absent from the entire episode? I don't even recall him being a side character in any sketches last night.

I'd like to see Mooney's man on the street get some real airtime on an episode, instead of being their throwaway YouTube clip. I mean, I get that's where the whole thing started out, but still.
