Breaking Bad (AMC, Sunday) – I recently made a declaration that I will get all caught up on the entire run of this show by the end of the year. I believe this means, by law, that no one can yell at me about not watching it now.

Curb Your Enthusiasm/Entourage (HBO, Sunday) – It must be liberating for Larry David to know that, no matter how despicable and insensitive he acts on his show, he’s still not the biggest dick in HBO’s Sunday night lineup.

Karaoke Battle (ABC, Friday) – As far as I can tell, the only difference between this show and “American Idol” is that the contestants didn’t bother to learn the words first. Groundbreaking. Hey, at least we know they can read, right?

Heat Seekers (Food Network, Friday) – A show where a couple guys travel around the country and eat spicy food? I like my version of this show better.

Same Name (CBS, Sunday) – New Miami Dolphin Reggie Bush trades places with a farm owner with the same name. My prediction: he will plant awesome seeds, but the harvest will never live up to its potential. Also, the harvest will have to give back its Heisman trophy. I’m bad at analogies.

Leverage (TNT, Sunday) – This show just got renewed for a fifth season. FIVE. Who is watching “Leverage”? If I’m George Lopez right now, this news makes me furious. Also, if I was George Lopez, I’d make a pretty crappy joke about it, then try to throw it to my band, then realize I don’t have a band anymore, then get MORE furious. I’d be an angry George Lopez.

After the jump, a GIF of kitties playing the keyboard. I don’t believe that needs any more explanation.

Mercy (NBC) — James Van Der Beek begins a guest starring role that will last through the end of the season. Wow, what a casting coup by NBC.

Leverage (TNT) — Luke Perry guest stars.  ”Leverage” sees your Dawson and raises you a Dylan.

Shear Genius (Bravo) — Season premiere. Hey, you idiots misspelled “sheer”! What’s that? It’s about cutting hair? Oh, I see. Very clever. Anyway, hot Latina Camila Alves has taken over hosting duties from Jaclyn Smith, so this could theoretically be more appealing to straight men if it weren’t a reality show about hair styling.

Super Bowl’s Greatest Commercials (CBS) — If you watch this hour of television, clap your flippers and collect a fish from your handler. You’re such a good little network seal!

Steven Seagal: Lawman (A&E) — Season finale. Man, it’s depressing that I was so excited for this show and it turned out to be boring. I mean, it was funny because fat people who act serious are always funny, but it was still boring.

Modern Family (ABC) — Minnie Driver guest stars as Claire’s old friend. Speaking of Claire (Julie Bowen), here she is in her underwear in the most recent episode (watch on Hulu). Why no, I don’t have a girlfriend. Why do you ask?

Bystanders in Portland, Oregon got a treat recently when TNT’s “Leverage” — currently filming its second season — blew up a car on Front Avenue.  I’m assuming it was a prop, and not someone’s actual car.  Although that would have been totally rad.

The best part of the clip here — other than the explosion, natch — is the reaction from the woman in the center of teh screen.  I think she peed her pants a little.  Which may explain why I’m a little turned on.
