I like it a lot. New episodes air on Monday nights at 10.

Anger Management (9pm, FX) - It's the new Charlie Sheen sitcom, and it debuts tonight with two back-to-back episodes. Sheen plays a therapist who specializes in anger management issues. It's a little better than "Two and a Half Men," but that's not saying much (it's still not very nice to women). And it's not in the same universe as FX's other sitcoms (like "Louie," pictured here, or "Wilfred" or "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"), but everybody's got bills to pay, I guess. Here's my full "Anger Management" review.

Comedians make it look so easy, but as revealed on "Talking Funny" (HBO, 9 tonight) there's a sweet science to doing stand-up, and the best comedians have mastered it.

Learning that is one of the pleasures of listening to Ricky Gervais (the executive producer of the show), Louis C.K., Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock.  In the nearly hour-long conversation, the four talk about their craft, revealing the workings of successfully telling a joke, what makes them laugh, and laying out the different approaches each takes in everything from encores to language.

We can't wait for this. A new HBO special in which four of our greatest living comedians -- Ricky Gervais, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, and Louis C.K. -- sit down to talk about being funny and what makes something funny (or not funny).

'Talking Funny' doesn't air until April 22, and we'll have more about it here before the premiere, but we hate for you to wait that long to get a taste.

Episodes (9:30pm, Showtime) - The premiere of a new sitcom which stars former "Friends" star Matt LeBlanc as himself, landing a role in a sitcom and hoping to make a comeback. British comedy veterans Stephen Mangan and Tamsin Greig, who play the married screenwriting team, are wonderful. Definitely check it out (read more in our review).

Shameless (10pm, Showtime) - A strange new drama (?) with William H. Macy as a shiftless alcoholic who lets his six motherless children fend for themselves while he drinks away all their money and treats them like crap. Here's my conflicted, somewhat rambling review.

Louis C.K.: Hilarious (10pm, Comedy Central) - Louis C.K.'s latest stand-up act offers reflections on his divorce and life as a single father in his forties.

I love Louis C.K.'s stand-up, and few people are funnier talk-show guests. But I admit I was no fan of his first attempt at a television show, HBO's "Lucky Louie." I tried to like it, but the vulgarity-to-comedy ratio skewed way too far into the humorless vulgarity spectrum for me (with "humorless" being the more offensive of those crimes).

There's still plenty of vulgar humor in his new show, "Louie," debuting with back-to-back new episodes tonight on FX, but it's so perfectly balanced and so funny, that even the really squirmy parts go down easy.
