People sure are concerned with Girls for a time when television is full of objectionable content — terrorists, gigolos, Bill O’Reilly, etc. For better or worse, Lena Dunham’s comedy has garnered a ton of attention since its premiere in April 2012.  

Pack your bags for a holiday retreat to the place where the dream of the 1990s and 1890s is alive. Portlandia might not return for Season Three until next month, but IFC has left a little gift in every hipster’s stocking with the holiday special, Winter in Portlandia.  

Movember may be over, but the gentlemen of Whisker Wars (10 p.m. Fridays, IFC) won’t be shaving their bodacious beards and sensational ’staches any time soon. The beardos are back and, for a second season, this oddly entertaining docu-series gives viewers a glimpse at the world of competitive facial hair.  

Fresh off the premiere of Lifetime’s unintentionally hilarious monstrosity, Liz and Dick, comes a new chapter of a love story that defines a generation. This week, Liz Lemon and Criss Chross will be joined in holy hotdog matrimony on 30 Rock (8 p.m. Thursday, NBC).   

In Catfish The TV Show, Nev Schulman helps young folks track down and meet their long distance loves in person.

Crazy Cat Lady has gone from a silly stereotype to a career path thanks to Ben Huh and the staff behind popular website I Can Has Cheezburger. Get a peek at the inner-workings of Cheezburger as LOLwork premieres this week, focusing on the office side of this Seattle-based business.  

Tag-teaming Thursday nights, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The League make FX the weekly spot for quotable comedy and gross-out laughs.  

Last year’s FX breakout American Horror Story surprised audiences while weaving sexy and scary storylines into one addicting series. So how do Ryan Murphy and his crew top such a sensational season? By creating a new frightening format altogether.  

Blending violence and gore with drama and heart, The Walking Dead (9 p.m. Sundays, AMC) is the perfect seasonal scare-fest for grown-ups. Returning for its third season, TWD picks up a few months after the finale left off, with Rick and the crew attempting to take over a nearby prison.  

After six action-packed seasons, even a show about a sociopath in sheep’s clothes can get stale. Thankfully, this season, things are taking an interesting turn as Dexter must “break code” and share his secret with a significant character — and the implications are hefty.
