The Muppet Show

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! 

The President is taking away many of your favorite TV shows so he can talk to you. Fortunately, cable's got everything from White Collar to Justified to Southland to Chopped.

Two of TV's best dramas, Justified and Southland, return tonight for all new seasons. Also: The return of White Collar, Fox is back, and tennis. Anybody watch tennis?

After a terrific, mostly standalone episode, Parenthood gets back to the daily grind of its serialized storylines. Also: Sign language, vampire Kermit the Frog, and Billy the Kid.

We welcome Switched At Birth to our regular coverage roster by firing pistols into the air. Also: FLCL makes its TV Club Classic debut, new Parenthood, and the Iowa caucuses.

When Jim Henson explored the joys of a handmade Christmas. 

TV apparently decided to take tonight off, so we're recommending you watch something made in 1993. Also: Cooking, mysterious dungeons, and Sandy Duncan jokes.

Raising Hope makes fun of It's A Wonderful Life, and that sounds good for a laugh. Also: Glee celebrates Christmas, Bob Hope likes lemon drops, and the History Channel proves God exists.

Sons Of Anarchy has been teasing us all season long. Now, it's time for the show to take the status quo changing plunge. Also: A multitude of Muppets, sectionals on Glee, and Buble.

You know how the song goes: “It’s time to democratize the means of production / It’s time to smash the state / It’s time to liberate the proletariat on The Muppet Show tonight.”

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.

This Thanksgiving week, isn't it time to spend more time with your fictional family on Parenthood? Plus, an excellent Frontline, the always awesome Storage Wars, and Mike Tyson.

The holidays often come with forced family togetherness time. What pop culture do you reach for when you want something fun (and safe) for people of all ages? 

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).

Good news, everyone! Top Chef is back, and it's found 29 people to force to travel to Texas to cook for us! Also: Comedies galore, women's volleyball, and Steve Jobs.

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.
