In today’s feature, we’ve got GIFs from last night’s game (including the middle finger seen ‘round the world), as well as selections from “Archer,” “The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret,” “Parks and Recreation,” and even something from “Community.” That’s right, if you needed a new movable Alison Brie image, we’ve got you covered. Also Madonna doing a dance that looks a lot like one from a favorite show of ours…

World peace and GIFs, or GTFO.

Drew Peterson: Untouchable (Lifetime, Saturday) – I’ll be honest, I completely forgot this was a thing. Then I saw it in the listings and I went back and watched the video clip of a blonde, mustachioed Rob Lowe saying “I’m untouchable, bitch” another dozen times, and now I’m delighted all over again. That said, there is no chance I watch this movie.

Downton Abbey (PBS, Sunday) – I’m still in the process of getting caught up on this show. As I said on my Tumblr, the first episode of Season 1 is all about the deaths of the heirs to a prestigious British title, and the introduction of the mysterious outsider who is next in line. I liked it better when it was called King Ralph.

The Life and Times of Tim/On Freddie Roach (HBO, Friday) – Pairing a super-indie animated comedy with a reality show about legendary boxing trainer Freddie Roach and his battle with Parkinson’s might be the weirdest scheduling decision I’ve ever seen. Stay bonkers, HBO.

Portlandia/The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret (IFC, Friday) – COMEDY NERDS UNITE!

FOOTBALL (CBS, FOX) – The conference championship games are on Sunday afternoon. What the hell am I supposed to do with my time when football’s over again? Twiddle my thumbs for the whole weekend? BUT THEY’LL GET SO TIRED!

Prime Suspect (NBC, Sunday) – NBC halted production of this show a while back, and now they’re running the last two episodes back-to-back against the NFC Championship game. [tugs collar] YEESH.

Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-off (Food Network, Sunday) – My official stance on this show is as follows: I will not watch it until either The Rock, Ghostface Killah, or Rasheed Wallace are competitors. Once that happens, you could take a wrecking ball to my living room and I’d still stay parked in front of the TV. These are my terms.

A BRIEF REMINDER: If your favorite show is not included in these listings, that does not necessarily mean we forgot about it, or are disrespecting it, or that aliens came down to Earth and vaporized the entire cast and crew with some sort of space laser and it no longer exists. It’s just that there is a ton of stuff on TV, only 5-8 slots in these posts, and, sometimes, making a dumb joke about a stupid reality show outranks mentioning a USA drama or an obscure British program. It’s nothing personal. Please relax.

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret (IFC, Friday) — Series premiere. The British David Cross series that humor nerds have been pining for finally comes to America. “Thunder Muscle! It’s like drinking ten lightnings!”

Teach: Tony Danza (A&E, Friday) — Series premiere. “Mr. Danza, I have a question: who’s the boss? HA HA HA DO YOU GET IT? DO YOU? BECAUSE YOU USED TO BE IN THAT SHOW.”

Archer (FX, Saturday) — A while back, FX acquired syndication rights to “Two and a Half Men,” which… ugh. Let’s not get into it. But the good news is that for every episode of Charlie Sheen in those stupid shirts, we also get an episode of “Archer” as part of FX’s “Totally Baked” programming on Saturday nights. I’ll say this again: there are two episodes of “Archer” on every Saturday night. Watch them and re-watch them and re-watch them. It’s the most quotable show since “The Simpsons” in its prime.

Saturday Night Live (NBC) — “Breaking Bad” star Bryan Cranston gets a well-deserved hosting gig with musical guest Tracy Jordan. Er, Kanye West.

Boardwalk Empire (HBO, Sunday) — Dude, Sundays are out of control: “Boardwalk Empire,” “Mad Men,” “Eastbound & Down,” “Dexter,” NINE HOURS of NFL games… it’s not even a part of my weekend any more. It’s just a prequel to Monday. Boo hoo hoo, I have to watch SO much television!

For those who keep track of international shows I want to come to America, two comedies I’ve coveted recently were “The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret” with David Cross and “Death Comes to Town” by the Kids in the Hall. Well, both of those will be coming to the Independent Film Channel, as well as a 30-minute news satire show from the Onion News Network.

“It was sort of the logical next step, in a way,” said Will Graham, an executive producer of the Onion News Network videos… If you look at CNN.com or FoxNews.com, and you see these little snippets there, now we’re going to give you the whole network, and make it the most authentic, aggressive, snarky, in-your-face news show out there.”

Mr. Graham said the television series, which is planned to make its debut in early 2011, would use much of the same creative team that produces the ONN videos, led by the head writer Carol Kolb, a former editor in chief of The Onion. [NYT]

Oh man, I’m going to have to figure out what channel IFC is in my cable package. The last time — the only time — I tried to go there was when Mary Louise Parker was on the show where Elvis Costello talks about himself, and it took me like 30 minutes to find the channel. Talk about people who shouldn’t have TV shows. I was like, “Can we just keep the camera on Mary Louise while Costello’s talking?”

Back in December, the first couple minutes of “The Increasingly Bad Decisions of Todd Margaret” were leaked online. The show, written by and starring David Cross, was a pilot for Britain’s Channel 4 that was recently picked up for a full series run. But wait! Don’t fly to England just so you can watch the pilot — the entire first episode is right here online (first part above, second two videos below — and thanks to reader “kahlua groove” for the tip).

Anyway, watch and enjoy — you know, if you’ve got 25 minutes at work where you don’t actually need to do any work. The humor, based on awkward situations and the ineptitude of Cross’s titular character, sometimes falls flat when characters’ actions veer off into the unrealistic, but it mostly succeeds as a comedy. A helluva lot more than the average sitcom pilot in America. Isn’t that right, Michael Strahan?
