Catch it now before the divorce rumors flare back up.Sunday 21“Get Swank’d” (FYI 9am) Sadly not a reality show about Hilary Swank, but a makeover show in which a couple of “glam besties” hit the road in “the hottest phenomenon on wheels, a fashion truck.”“Madam Secretary” (KRQE-13 7:30pm) Téa Leoni (‘member FOX’ “Flying Blind”?) stars as a Hillary Clinton-esque secretary of state in CBS’ new political drama.“Mr. Pickles” (Cartoon Network 9:30pm) The newest Adult Swim series to hit the airwaves is this twisted toon about a 6-year-old boy and his lovable pet dog, Mr. Pickles, living together in an old-fashioned town full of old-fashioned values.
