THIS WEEK’S TOP TV TIPS
SATURDAY
Flipped Off
In this new reality series, three-time Survivor survivor, Russell Hantz, has taken up a new challenge. He is now playing the high stakes game of flipping houses in the volatile Houston real estate market. Hantz is joined by his brother,
Shawn, and a savvy real estate agent, Kristen, as he tries to become on of the biggest names in the game – at least in the Texas area. His experiences in outwitting and outplaying will no doubt serve him in good stead.

SUNDAY
The Good Wife
Michael J. Fox is back in his recurring role as Louis Canning in tonight’s season finale. Together with attorney Patti Nyholm ( Martha
Plimpton), Canning has proved to be a formidable foe for Lockhart/gardner – and now the pair has teamed up with the objective of driving Lockhart into bankruptcy. In the middle of it all, Alicia ( Julianna Mar
gulies) is trying to sort out her conflicted feelings about Peter ( Chris Noth). So it’s a cliffhanger.

The Cleveland Show
There are two new episodes of the animated comedy tonight: first, Cleveland accompanies Roberta on a college visit so he can relive the crazy college days of his youth; and, later, Cleveland Jr. falls for a devout church choir member, guest voiced by Fergie, and gets chastised by a fellow church choir member (voiced by Darren Criss of
Glee) for going to church for the wrong reasons. In between there are also new episodes of The Simpsons,
Bob’s Burgers and Family Guy.
Fox, Global Breakout Kings It’s the second season finale tonight of the breakout hit starring Laz Alonso and Domenick Lombardozzi as veteran U.S. Marshals Charlie Duchamp and Ray Zancanelli. The two-hour episode follows up on the tragic events of the premiere when psychotic escapee Damien ( Jason Behr) killed Charlie. Still barred from participating in the hunt for Damien, Serinda Swan and the rest of the team manage to get the job done, but end up with an impossible choice.
A&E
MONDAY
Skins The BAFTA Award-winning comedy drama, starring
Alexander Arnold and Jessica Sula, returns for a sixth season on the pay-tv network, available for folks with satellite. The premiere finds some of the teens on holiday in Morocco, behaving much as the Jersey Shore group might. While they are busy, however, someone is trying to frame them for drug smuggling. It pays to pay attention.
Super Channel
Moonshiners It may be illegal, but moonshine is a thriving multimillion-dollar industry in the States. This new six-part series follows a tradition dating back hundreds of years. It is set deep in Appalachia, where more sugar is sold than the residents could possibly consume. Dating back to the Whiskey Rebellion in the 1790s, the moonshine season lasts from June to October, when the height of the corn harvest acts as cover as well as one of the ingredients.
Discovery Channel
TUESDAY
Unforgettable In its penultimate episode, for this season anyway, Carrie ( Poppy Montgomery) becomes the obvious suspect when her old nemesis Walter Morgan ( James
Urbaniak) is murdered. But even though Walter appears to have deliberately framed Carrie for his murder, it does seem a drastic way of expressing disapproval. As Carrie searches for the killer, she has to deflect as much attention away from herself as possible. Next week’s season finale may help to clear things up.

Revenge The local media is becoming increasing hostile as the date for Daniel’s ( Josh Bow- man) release from jail gets closer.
