Happy Moms' Day, suckas!
Surprise! E! is exploiting the fact that tomorrow is Mother's Day (because it's such a meaningful, non-commercial observance anyway) with yet another tawdry special: 10 Most Compelling Mama Dramas (E!, Saturday, 6 PM). Britney? Anna Nicole? The gang's all here!

On a new episode of Saturday Night Live (NBC, Saturday 11:30), porn-mustachio'd jail bait Shia LeBarf will flex his comedic muscles, joined by musical guest My Morning Jacket .

Clearly whoever is responsible for the new pet-grooming reality show Groomer Has It (Animal Planet, Saturday, 9 PM) took a pun and ran with it.Way, way too far, perhaps. But we love Jai Rodriguez, who's hosting. And we loved Best In Show. And we love dogs. So it's got three things going for it right there. Which is three more things than Farmer Wants A Wife.

Well this season of Survivor (CBS, Sunday, 8 PM) didn't go exactly as planned now did it? Instead of a fierce showdown between newbies and old-pros, it was a battle of the sexes where only the smart survived. But given that there have been some of the most idiotic moves and biggest blindsides of all time -- we're looking in at your cushy jury seats Erik and Ozzy -- this finale has the potential to be really good and catty. With four women vying for the top spot, it is only a matter of time until the claws come out... or at least we hope so. Because if there aren't some major bitch-fights, this is going to be the most boring three hours on television. -- Angel Cohn

Hot Jew Alert!* Ira Glass and his fine intellectual ass will be premiering a new season of This American Life (Showtime, Sunday, 10 PM).

*Relax! I am allowed to say this: I, too, am one of God's Chosen People
