That sex talk

Things may be looking up for women in late-night TV — at least temporarily. In addition to the members of "The View" taking over "The Late, Late Show" next week, Margaret Cho will help launch "All About Sex," a new weekly talker with four women breaking down intimate conversations with the help of social media. 10 p.m. Saturday, TLC

Bro code

Jay and Mark Duplass, the brothers behind "Cyrus" and "Jeff, Who Lives at Home," make their joint debut as TV creators in "Togetherness," a new comedy about adults nearing 40 with great trepidation. Let's hope the series doesn't keep Mark from still playing fantasy football on FX's "The League." 8:30 p.m. Sunday, HBO

The shame game

William H. Macy and Emmy Rossum continue their completely unhealthy father-daughter relationship in Season 5 of "Shameless" with guest appearances by Dermot Mulroney and Sasha Alexander. This time around, the family is adjusting to a gentrified neighborhood that includes a trendy yoga studio. We're guessing that Macy's Frank Gallagher won't be signing up for a membership. 8 p.m. Sunday, Showtime
