I wanted to see Molly Shannon in "Year of the Dog," but if she's one-tenth as annoying in that as she is in "More of Me" (7 p.m., Lifetime), then my plans have been altered.

Four Molly Shannons is three too many of the comedian.

She portrays Alice, a woman whose multitudinous roles prove to be way too much for her to handle.

She's pulled in every direction - baking cupcakes for the kids, trying to plan her wedding anniversary and save a tree, too.

And that's just one day. Imagine if it was more than one. We might even get to watch her separating the whites from the darks in the laundry if we're real lucky.

Alice eventually cracks and is split into three separate, yet equally annoying versions of herself.

There's the mom, the activist and my least favorite, the hoochie wife.

The montage of vixen Alice modeling lingerie is painful in just about every way possible. I spent its entirety cringing and praying for an extinction-level event to occur.

All of the Alices seem super-duper helpful in the beginning as they juggle intense schedules. It only gets bad when Alice decides she wants her life back and the other versions of her aren't so willing to let go.

Stinky, stinky TV.

Spare yourselves the awfulness and instead watch "Ellen's Really Big Show" (7, 8:30 p.m., TBS).

Emmy-winning talk show host and comedian Ellen DeGeneres hosts this old-school variety special which feature all kinds of performances.

The 90-minute show has comedians Rhys Darby and Sean Cullen, singer Ryan Shaw, the African Children's Choir and a host of wacky acts, including magician Lance Burton, the Peking Acrobats, the USA All-Star Jump Rope Team and oodles more.

There are even people I've actually heard of participating, like singers Lyle Lovett and Sheryl Crow.

Awesome Vegas legend Wayne Newton will appear live and in taped segments as a special correspondent.

Molly "Overactor" Shannon or Wayne "Cheesetastic" Newton - the answer could not be any more clear.
