Paint by numbers

Danny Glover brings his gravitas to "Norman Rockwell's Shuffleton's Barbershop" (8 p.m. Saturday, Hallmark Movie Channel), based on the famous 1950s painting. Good idea, but I'm holding out for a movie about those dogs who play poker.

To live and die in L.A.

"The Wanted Life" (9 p.m. Sunday, E!) chronicles the adventures of British/Irish boy band the Wanted as it tries to make its mark in Los Angeles. Let's hope the group left its pet monkeys back in England.

Gone fishin'

Bad news: The new series "Top Hooker" (9 p.m. Sunday, Animal Planet) is not a winner-take-all battle between Heidi Fleiss and Divine Brown. It's yet another fishing show with 10 of the world's best anglers participating in a number of challenges. I assume one of them is trying to get those dang worms to stay on the hook.
