Well, this week’s show won’t suffer from a lot of awkward silences, at least. The midshow guest is Oliver Stone, and one of the panelists is Chris Matthews. Imagine the average Words Per Minute count on one of their exchanges...

Tonight’s new episode has Penny (Kaley Cuoco, pictured) seducing Leonard (Johnny Galicki), but only to get him close enough to his laptop to Skype with his mom – who’s played by the delightful recurring guest star Christine Baranski, on loan from another CBS series, The Good Wife. Here’s she’s The Bad Mom – and she’s hilarious.

SERIES PREMIERE: Sophie Lowe plays Alice in this latest reinvention of the Lewis Carroll original stories and heroine. Alice is grown up now – and, like Dorothy in Return to Oz, is diagnosed with a mental disorder after insisting upon telling tales of visiting a strange land populated by amazing people and creatures. The danger is that this new series, like its parent show Once Upon a Time, will get bogged down by impenetrable subplots and annoying excessive use of Disney fantasy character

This episode pays tribute to Finn – and, thus, the young actor who played him, Cory Monteith. No cause of death is given for Finn, who, in this story line, died a few weeks before. He’s saluted, in character, by current and former cast members, and often, of course, in song. Musical highlights include Lea Michele, Monteith’s real-life girlfriend at the time of his death, singing a song to Finn in her character as Rachel: Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love.”

Last season, Monica Potter delivered an Emmy-worthy performance as Kristina Braverman, dealing with cancer, but the Academy didn’t vote for her. Maybe this year: At the end of last week’s show, Kristina announced her candidacy as mayor. So this season, she’ll be seeking votes actively.
