SUNDAY
Will Matthew and Lady Mary marry? Whither Mr. Bates? The answers to those and other questions will have to wait, for what already feels like forever, for Season 3. Til then, there’s the special “Downton Abbey — Behind the Drama.” (KOCE, 9 p.m.)
Based on a bestseller with a somewhat indelicate title – hence the tasteful initials – the naughty new prime-time soap “GCB” stars Leslie Bibb and “Glee’s” Kristin Chenoweth, below, as the misbehavin’ ladies of a well-to-do Dallas suburb.(ABC, 10 p.m.)

(NBC, 8 p.m.)

FRIDAY
They’ll always have Portland: Carrie Brownstein and “SNL’s” Fred Armisen ring down the curtain on another season of “Portlandia,” the duo’s quirky sketch-comedy show set in the perpetually cloudy and crowded-with-hipsters Oregon burg.
(IFC, 10 p.m.)
SATURDAY
Politics sure did make strange bedfellows out of Sen. John McCain (Ed Harris) and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (Julianne Moore, below), as detailed in the new docudrama “Game Change,” based on the book about the 2008 presidential race. (HBO, 9 p.m.)
