Don’t Trust The B---- In Apartment 23

Another TV season ends, and Modern Family is there to send us sailing off into the summer. Also: Season finales for The Middle and Nashville, and the return of the B---- in apartment 23.

You won't even have to sign a one-year lease.

Until next week, that is.

Enter this brave, new Tuesday-night world with double doses of Raising Hopeand Happy Endings. Also: The return of True American and Fight Night in Harlan County. 

Did the events of the past week declare Tuesday a comedy no man’s land?

One pushed 20 million viewers, one missed the 1 million mark, but they’re both “hits.”

 What went wrong?

It’s (the last) Arrested Development—until May. Also: Jess and her roommates are off to the races while Raylan Givens tries to find Waldo.

Girls is back, which is either the best news or a warning to avoid HBO for 10 weeks. Also: Premières of other pay-cable shows that are just as divisive. (Oh, who are we kidding—nothing’s as divisive as Girls.) 

New cases, places, and faces for Justified and Cougar Town. Also: The Tuesday-night comedy glut joins TV’s return from its long winter’s nap.

Downton Abbey’s third season is no longer the province of the elite or the British. Also: Everything else returns from winter hiatus, including two ABC comedies sneaking over from Tuesday nights.

Happy Endings wishes you and yours a Happy Jane-mas. Also: A temporary relocation of Apartment 23 and an earnest plea to save our Bluths that, thankfully, is no longer needed.

Parenthood presents a very Braverman Christmas—and all the small-scale drama that implies. Also: Shooter McGavin and a cranberry drop by Happy Endings and a New Girl cast member’s ear, respectively.

Meat(head) the parents on New Girl. Also: Happy Endings serves up a flashback for Thanksgiving and Ed Helms heads back to The Mindy Project.

NBC remembers it’s still airing a little show called Parenthood. Also: The funniest Ben And Kate since the pilot and a 90-minute Sons Of Anarchy.

A night full of sitcom Halloween episodes is capped by Matthew Perry's shenanigans on Go On. Also: Two stone-cold horror movie classics and, uh, auto racing?

New seasons of Happy Endings and Don’t Trust The B---- In Apartment 23 emerge from ABC’s secret ratings-protecting vault. Also: Getting your Greendale wherever you can.

Zooey Deschanel and Mindy Kaling are no match for LL Cool J.
