Friday

The Peter Serafinowicz Show (G4) 9:00 PM EDT
Serafinowicz takes a stab at Kevin Spacey in this week's acting masterclass ... and what happens when Darth Vader meets his ideal woman? And, of course, there's Kennedy St. King on O! News.

Sordid Lives mini-marathon (Logo) starting at 10:00 PM EDT
In case you need to play catch-up, Logo is re-airing the first four episodes of the serial comedy based on Del Shores' sleeper hit film. Get caught up on the series or just tune in to relive moments like Brother Boy's suicide attempt, Ty's "therapy" with Jacob, the guest appearances by Margaret Cho and Carson Kressley ... and then there are all of Noleeta's fantasies about soap hunk Hunker...

Saturday

Paula's Party (Food Network) 7:00 PM EDT
Paula's having a "diva party" and you may think that means her guests will consist of more gay faves than gays, but with Ru Paul, Suze Orman and Susan Lucci getting invites, that's not the case.

Roxy: The Last Dance (Logo) 8:00 PM EDT
For 16 years The Roxy was an important part of gay NYC nightlife. That came to an end in 2007, but not without one final 14-hour bash which is chronicled in this Real Momentum documentary.

Summer Showdown's "Team Hot"

Sunday

Summer Showdown (HGTV) 9:00 PM EDT
It's the triple gay episode with David Bromstad (with carpenter Jared Walker Dostie) facing off against Constance Ramos in the Designer Dome where they'll have to make over America's most color-challenged bedroom.

Shameless (Sundance) 9:00 PM EDT
This week is heavy on the Kev/Veronica drama as the death of Kev's mother brings his wife, Roxy, back into the picture. I guess looking at Kev for an hour is supposed to make up for a lack of Ian. Fine by me for one week, at least.

Skins' Mitch Hewer as Maxxie

Skins (BBC America) 9:00 PM EDT
Coming from the makers of Shameless, this critically acclaimed drama follows a group of teens as adulthood looms closer. Among those teens is openly gay performer Maxxie (Mitch Hewer), who's best buds with not-so-devout Muslim, Anwar (Dev Patel). Judging from the clip at BBC America's page on Maxxie, Hewer brings an adorable energy to the role. As a huge Shameless fan, I can't wait to finally get to see this one.

Brooke Knows Best (VH1) 10:00 PM EDT
It's finally gay Glenn's turn to bring the drama this week as he lets his best friend, "game-playing, tattooed straight crazy guy" Rey, couch-surf for a few weeks. As you'd expect (how else would he get to be the focus of an episode?) Rey quickly overstays his welcome.
