Parks and Recreation (NBC) – The Pawnee gang goes bowling. I feel like every sitcom has a bowling episode at some point. Sometimes they suck, like “Life on the Fast Lane,” but other times they’re a series high point, like the what-if “Bowling” episode of “Malcolm in the Middle.”
Archer (FX) – Malory institutes an ISIS drug-testing policy, and Archer and Lana welcome brand spankin’ new field agent Cyril (poor Gillette) to the jungle. Don’t forget to check out Uproxx’s “Archer” live blog at 10 p.m. EST. Will Kenny Loggins himself be there? I’m not saying he will…because he won’t. But we will!
30 Rock (NBC) – “Oh no, there’s two episodes of 30 Rock on tonight. What about The Office?” says no one.
Inside Comedy (Showtime) – Season premiere. If you liked HBO’s “Talking Funny,” which had Ricky Gervais, Jerry Seinfeld, Louis C.K., and Chris Rock talking about comedy, you’ll probably enjoy Showtime’s “Inside Comedy.” Host David Steinberg interviews Larry David, Mel Brooks, and some people who aren’t Jewish, and hopefully someone points out that “Nurse Jackie” and “The Big C” aren’t comedies.
Friday Night Lights (ESPN Classic) – “The Son.” Not new, but watch it and cry. Every chance you get.
LATE NIGHT GUESTS: Andre Agassi, J.B. Smoove, and Seal on Kimmel; Cuba Gooding Jr., Jon Heder, and They Might Be Giants on Conan; Tilda Swinton on Stewart; and Drew Barrymore (ew) on Colbert.
