Break out your $4,000 ham napkin for the 30 Rock wedding
Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for November 29, 2012. All times are Eastern.
TOP PICK
30 Rock (NBC, 8 p.m.): Unless that wedding invitation that circulated around the Internet earlier in the month is some sort of elaborate ruse and/or the poster for a fake Tracy Jordan movie, somebody’s getting married on 30 Rock tonight, and those somebodies are Liz and Criss. (And if we know Liz Lemon, the Muppets Take Manhattan cut linked above has to play some part in the ceremony, right?) But first, they need the blessing of The Beeper King, as Liz’s lady business is still part of his Beeper Kingdom—or some such other loveable crassness that will end up in Dean Winter’s mouth. Unofficial bridesmaid Pilot Viruet will show you where to place your gift for the happy couple.
REGULAR COVERAGE
Last Resort (ABC, 8 p.m.): Having protected the show from a big loss of ratings on Thanksgiving night—thanks a bunch, ABC—the network airs Last Resort’s one and only take on the holiday one week late. Scott Von Doviak looks forward to watching a drunken Scott Speedman dance around with an oversized turkey on his head.
The Big Bang Theory (CBS, 8 p.m.): Parking spots come between friends when the university hands Sheldon’s parking space to Wolowitz, in an episode that, judging from the press artwork, takes place entirely on a parking-lot set. Oliver Sava is curious about whether we could’ve fit an additional “parking” into that previous sentence.
The Vampire Diaries (The CW, 8 p.m.): Though anyone on this show could be a supernatural being, Carrie Raisler feels it’s unfair for vampired-up Elena to compete in the Miss Mystic Falls Pageant. She’ll clearly have a leg up on her competition in the “drinking blood” portion of the contest.
The Office (NBC, 9 p.m.): Pete (a.k.a. “New Jim,” a.k.a. “Plop”) earns a mention in the episode synopsis, and Erik Adams thinks that merits a round of applause for young Jake Lacy. The guy could use it, what with having lost his Goodwin Games role to T.J. Miller and all…
Person Of Interest (CBS, 9 p.m.): It’s a reunion of The Others as “’Til Death” reunites former Lost cohorts Michael Emerson and Mark Pellegrino. There are also flashbacks to Finch’s old life, which has Phil Dyess-Nugent feeling all sorts of nostalgia pangs for the Island.
