BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

There’s a lot going on in tonight’s new episode, and the lot in question is a college parking lot. The university at which Sheldon (Jim Parsons) works has taken away his parking spot, and given it to Wolowitz (Simon Helberg). My advice to Howard: Curb your enthusiasm.
 
  
 
 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s new episode is called “Mazel Tov, Dummies!” – which may be a hint about the content, since it’s supposed to be about the sudden wedding of Liz (Tina Fey) and Criss (James Marsden). It also features Liz’s ex-boyfriend Dennis, played by Dean Winters, who’s been playing Mayhem in those insurance commercials. So, I’m guessing, the show’s title is a line of dialogue from Dennis himself.
 
  
 
 

CBS, 8:31 p.m. ET

Angus T. Jones, by being captured on video begging people not to watch his sitcom because it’s “filth,” has guaranteed the biggest bump in free-publicity viewership for Two and a Half Men since Charlie Sheen left in a whirlwind of misbehavior and Ashton Kutcher joined the cast. Tonight’s episode does have one thing going for it besides controversy: the return of former recurring player April Bowlby, who played Kandi, the sizzlingly hot actress girlfriend, and eventually second wife, of Jon Cryer’s Alan. She hasn’t appeared on Men since 2007, but Kandi is back tonight, and, once again, has Alan in her sights. Meanwhile, TVWW contributor Noel Holston has Two and a Half Men in his sights. Check out his take on the Jones furor in The Grassy Noel.
 
  
 
 

Fox, 9:00 p.m. ET

It’s Thanksgiving on Glee, arriving a week later. It’s also Sectionals time again – and this year, the New Directions team has a new direction: They’re doing one production number “Gangnam Style,” in what surely will be the best Glee number ever sung in Korean.
 
  
 
 

NBC, 9:31 p.m. ET

There are more reasons for Leslie (Amy Poehler) to resent the neighboring Eagleton tonight: Architects from that community are submitting designs for Leslie’s latest park. And they’re good, which has Leslie more than a little envious and angry.
