Homeland is explosive and Masters of Sex is orgasmic! |

Homeland is back on Showtime at 9p tonight and it picks up 58 days after the explosion at Langley. Carrie (Claire Danes) is being questioned by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and they are revealing things they shouldn’t know. So much so it might push her over the edge especially since she stopped taking her lithium. She is trying to control her bipolar disorder naturally and so far it has been working, but can it be the solution for her?
Saul (Mandy Patinkin) is dealing with pressure from work because the remaining people (survivors) at the CIA might be out of work now that the government wants to shut them down. Saul is getting some relief at home now that his wife is back, but things are not the same between Mira (Sarita Choudhury) and him.
Jessica Brody (Morena Baccarin) is dealing with the stress of her husband being blamed for the second worst terrorist attack in American and her daughter’s suicide attempt. Dana (Morgan Saylor) is being released from the hospital, but she is a changed teenager. So changed you will be shocked.
Now you might have noticed that I didn’t mention Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis), that is because he is not in the first two episodes. Take that for what it is because we are all taking it the same way.
I have to say for those of you will be missing Breaking Bad, Homeland will pick up that excitement because the first two episodes of season three will blow you away.
Then at 10p just when you thought you heart couldn’t beat any faster, it will be racing in a much different way with Masters of Sex.
In 1957, Williams Masters (Michael Sheen) was a leading fertility expert. He knows how to make a baby, but he wants to know more about the act of making a baby. So he decides to study the different phases that people go through during sex. At first he starts with prostitutes because they are the only ones who will take part in his study, but as time goes on he uses volunteers from the hospital where he works. Since it is a study, it needs to be funded and the Provost refuses to back the study knowing what it is about. So now he has to find other ways to conduct his work until he can get the money he needs.
He can’t do this study by himself, so he needs a secretary and not just any normal woman because of his field of research is so taboo. He hires twice-divorced, mother-of-two Virgina Johnson (Lizzy Caplan), who is very liberated woman for the time. She believes woman can have casual sex and back then that was unheard.
Which could be why Masters’ assistant, Ethan Haas (Nicholas D’Agosto), is so smitten with her. She told him just wants to be friends, but she does stuff with him he says only happens after a couple are married.
Haas not only has to worry about Virginia, he also has to worry about being Masters’ wife’s doctor. Even though Masters is the top fertility doctor, he can’t seem to make a baby with his wife Libby (Caitlin Fitzgerald). So now they are trying the methods that he has worked his magic on with several woman before his wife, only problem is he can’t do it himself so he has Haas help him out.
In order to get you to watch this titillating show, I will tell you that there is a lot, and I do mean a lot, of sex on the show. But to be honest it is so much more than a quick roll in the hay. Let’s be honest we all want more than just a wham, bam, thank you mam, and that is exactly what you get with Masters of Sex.

Liev Schreiber puts his boys to work! |

Now that Sasha is 5 and his little brother, Samuel, is nearly 4, looks like their dad, Liev Schreiber, is making them earn their keep. The proud pop Tweeted a picture of his two awwwdorable boys selling some lemonade and wanted everyone to know they sold out in 10 minutes. I am guessing they had two buyers, one was named Liev and the other one is Naomi Watts.
Would you spend $.50 for some curbside lemonade? I probably would! But then again after watching him on Ray Donovan, I would do anything he wants.

Did Evan Handler scalp David Duchovny for his hair? |

Follicular-Challenged Evan Handler Tweeted the above picture of himself with some hair that looks awfully a lot like David Duchovny’s. Ever since the two actors filmed the series finale of Californication last week, no one has seen nor heard from The X Files star. Not that anyone has been looking for him; but since Charlie Runkle’s new hair looks a lot like Hank Moody’s, you have to wonder where he got it from? Especially since you can see the skin line on his forehead.
Does Scully have to work the case of her missing partner Mulder or could it just be coincidence that Handler’s new hair seems almost exactly like his co-star’s? I am hoping it’s the latter, but I think we have an X-File here. Don’t you?

Did Evan Handler just announce that Californication is ending? |

There have been some rumors that season 7 of Californication would be its last on Showtime, but up until this Tweet from Evan Handler no one had confirmed it. Well looks like Charlie Runkle is going to go ahead and do it for everyone. Where is Marcy when you really need her to keep his big white butt in line. A butt we know all too well from the last 6 seasons of the great show.
I am so going to miss this show, not only because we got to see Handler naked all the time, but because they’d do stuff no other show would, could or should ever do.

Dexter prepares to say goodbye as Ray Donovan says hello! |

Tonight at 9p Dexter (Michael C Hall) is back for one more killer season on Showtime. The episode takes place 6 months after Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) killed MarÃa LaGuerta and she is still not over what happened. She has pretty much cut her brother out of her life and he doesn’t know how to handle it. But he will have bigger things on his plate when Evelyn Vogel (Charlotte Rampling), a neuro-psychiatrist specializing in child psychopaths comes to town. She has a connection to Dexter that he doesn’t know about and it will make things very interesting. But not as interesting as what happens at the end of the 4th episode. But I am getting a head of myself.
Then at 10p it is time to meet Ray Donovan (Liev Schreiber). He is a Hollywood fixer-upper. As in if you get in trouble, he will get you out of it anyway he can and he doesn’t care who he hurts. Besides dealing with his job, he has to deal with his family that has its own set of issues. He has a f*cked up father (Jon Voight) who just got out jail and wants to reconnect with him even though Ray wants nothing to do with Mickey. Mickey wants to be in all of his sons’ lives, but he still hasn’t fixed his ways. So he starts out by killing the Priest who molested one of his sons when was younger. That makes amends, right?
Then there is Ray’s wife, Abby (Paula Malcomson), and kids. His wife doesn’t trust him and his kids wants more.
Finally there are Ray’s bosses, Ezra Goodman (Elliott Gould) and Lee Drexler (Peter Jacobson) who are just f*cked up as he is, but they think they are better than it all. Or do they?
The first thing you will realize about Ray Donovan, is that he needs to hire himself to fix up his life. But that doesn’t mean the drama needs fixing because it is one great Hollywood tale that you won’t be able to say no to.
The only thing that bums me out, is that there is no way for Showtime to do a crossover episode with Ray Donovan and Californication’s Hank Moody. If ever there were two characters that needed each other, it is these two!
