Page 11 Eat NS CE SS SE New Season of Prime Time TV By Pete Borror - Lion's Eye Staff Writer- pab5285@psu.edu Penfect Couples: Perfect Couples is another comedy sitcom brought by NBC thast focus- es on three couples that are in different places in their relationship. The show’s main couple is Dave and Julia, the only normal and relatable couple in the show. Dave and Julia try to control the extremities of their four friends. The second couple is Rex and Leigh, who are “relationship gurus” that search for laughs with their tackiness and textbook relationship form. Not only are they not funny but somewhat irritating. The only funny part of their relationship is Rex’s bla- tant alcoholism that is used to cover for his unhappiness. The last couple, Vance and Amy, is the only amusing part of the show. However, the humor with Vance and Amy might be because of memorable characters the actors play in other projects, David Walton as “Dr. Rick” in Fired Up and Mary Elizabeth Ellis as “The Waitress” in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. This sitcom is destined to not last very long in a network with superior comedies in their lineup. ] cut of 4 stans Lights Out: Lights Out is the next show in line for a network that has brought a great program each year. After the Fall’s great first season of The Walking Dead, FX has now brought a drama about an retired boxer who struggles with finances and finding his identity after being away from his sport. Holt McCallany plays Patrick “Lights” Leary whose brother Johnny has unsuccessfully managed his money and the gym the family owns. “Lights” is a family man with strong instability, but his financial instability is causing him to question his morals. “Lights’” career ended with an unjust decision to his rival, “Death Row” Reyn- olds. Reynolds has challenged Lights to a rematch, which is the predictable end to a season with many storylines and room to grow. Shameless: Showtime’s new drama/comedy series Shameless follows the life of the dysfunctional Gallagher family and the struggles they face. Frank Gallagher, played by William H. Macy, is the alcoholic father who survives on disability checks and his dead aunt’s social security checks. Fiona, the oldest daughter, is the primary parent of the fam- ily. She supports the family by different scams and favors from friends around Chicago’s south side. Fiona dates a charming, yet unreliable, car thief whose constant gifts are not always a consolation for his wrongdoings. The rest of the family is full of different characters and personali-® ties including Lip (very intelligent but mischievous), Ian (a homo- sexual involved with a married, older man), Carl (experimental and out of control) and Debbie (lonely and always into trouble). The Gallagher’s’ neighbors, Kev and Veronica, are also focal characters, who often get mixed up in the troubles of their neighbors. The best part of the show is the absurdness of the situations including Frank waking up in Canada, Debbie kidnapping a young boy and dressing him like a girl, borrowing an old woman from a retire- ment home to pose as Frank’s aunt, and organizing a fake wedding. The show is not always just for laughs, and can be hard to watch a family being let down by a selfish father. Macy does a wonderful job of disgusting you as well as making you laugh. Shameless is another great series brought by Showtime to make up for the downfall of previous masterpiece Weeds. 3 12 out of # stans SHOWTIME (0 30 - 0 Bc BB Ww. y= 1 | 'e sshameles Photo Courtesy of google.com There's 2 Song for Everyone on Valentine's Day By: Kelly Crawford--Lions Eye Entertainment Editor--kmc5368@psu.edu Valentine's Day 1.
