The fourth season of Childrens Hospital is here to heal your funny bone (and other vaguely horrifying ailments). Also: Louie has a date with IKEA and Wilfred has a date with destiny.

If you were going to create a TV network that catered to the modern TV fan, it would be a network that aired lots of heavily serialized shows that were addictive and engrossing once you got into them.

Beauty And The Beast, The Carrie Diaries, and Arrow among them.

After the maddening twist of last week’s episode, Raising Hope’s season finale tries to win you back. Also: New Directions goes disco and Frontline takes on CSI. 

With a name like “Slaughterhouse,” it has to be a good Justified finale. Also: The returns of Will Schuester (boo!) and the cul-de-sac crew (hooray!)

Four unfortunate singers hear the words “You are not The Voice!” Also: Comical eyewear on Fox, and a dam documentary (full of dam footage and dam information) comes to PBS.

PBS has brought Frontline back, and ooh, can you smell the anticipation coursing through America's veins? Also: Everybody else takes the night off, so take a nap or something.

Key & Peele wins a game of series-finale roulette. Also: Bad-guy overload in Harlan, and hot-dog vendors with filthy mouths.

NBC wishes upon a Fashion Star. Also: A Sacred Heart Hospital reunion and theoretical encounters of the third kind.

You know what other Muppet project had no involvement from Jason Segel? The Muppet Show. Also: Fox gets topical and Megan Mullally gets busier.

Fox is making the most of an extra February with extra American Idol. Also: The Bravermans go on vacation, the Amish invade PBS.

New Girl seems to be hitting its stride just a bit, so if you checked out, might be time to check in again. Also: Glee's spring finale, near war on Justified, and Dan Savage on MTV.

The star of Switched At Birth looks back on, in her words, a “weird-ass career.” 

This Valentine’s Day, give them the gift they never expected: A brand new Cougar Town. Also, Jeff Goldblum finds Glee, and Top Shot shoots several rounds through your heart. 

Also: Will Schuester dons a toreador’s outfit while Real Housewives and doomsday survivalists battle for cable supremacy.

Glee is offering a tribute to Michael Jackson, and because we haven't learned our lesson yet, we're cautiously optimistic. Also: Lots of good drama, hockey, and HOLY SHIT, MUMMENSCHANZ! 

Ringer hasn't exactly been the trashy soap we'd been hoping for, but it seemed headed in the right direction last time. Also: Lesbians, the NHL, and red-nosed reindeer.

We're recommending Glee because we can and because we like singing. Also tonight: Fox's attempts to get out of November sweeps early, Scarface, and Nazis.

Hey, everybody! You should be watching Raising Hope, instead of Dancing With The Stars or whatever it is you ARE watching. Also, Vietnam, college football, and teen sex (with singing).

The Fox lineup of Glee, New Girl, and Raising Hope returns tonight, ending the network's odd experiment in yanking two of its most successful shows for a month or so.

Once Upon A Time debuts and makes us wonder just how an idea that's already based on fairy tales can still feel so unoriginal. Also: Your quality drama quota for the week.

The X Factor takes over another night of television, just because it can, but you can catch up here, so you won't have to watch. Also: Frontline, Cee Lo, and the ever-exciting world of the NHL.

If president Mark “Registered” Pedowitz hadn’t tellingly characterized The CW as a peek inside a young girl’s mind, another apt comparison would be to call it the Cocoon of networks—a place where nobody ever gets any ...

We try not to get political here at The A.V. Club, but after our own Todd VanDerWerff and critics at other sites issued an urgent call to arms in regards to H8R, The CW's show that's all about how no one should ever be mean to celebrities on the ...

Well, that was quick. Usually we're into October before someone pulls the trigger on the first show to exceed its initial 13-episode order and a get a full season. However, after a Tuesday night that saw Fox's new sitcom New Girl once again win t...
