SEASON PREMIERE: ABC’s Modern Family gets all the glory – and just scooped up lots more, at the Emmys – but this other Wednesday night ABC comedy is almost as delightful, and deserves as large an audience. Season 4 begins tonight, catching us up on what the heck the Hecks did this summer. Including, for one of the Heck children, summer school.

SEASON PREMIERE: This wonderful series just won four more Emmys, for direction, supporting actor (Eric Stonestreet), supporting actress (Julie Bowen), and the big one as Outstanding Comedy. And though Louie is more ambitious and unpredictable, it’s hard to argue against the sheer talent and comedy on display in this ABC comedy. And all you have to do is endure one of the new series trying so hard to be Modern Family this year, and you’ll appreciate the original article that much more

SEASON FINALE: And another chef is crowned, as Season 4 ends. And these are Top Chef Masters, so bragging rights count for a lot.

SERIES RETURN: I have no idea whether this is a new season, a midseason premiere, or what. All I know – and all that matters – is that there’s a fresh South Park tonight, so tune in.

Whether Last Resort is a long-term sustainable premise very much remains to be seen. But the first two hours are sit-up-and-take-notice TV...

There are so many crime dramas on CBS that it's increasingly difficult to buy into yet another one — even with the Sherlock Holmes brand in play...
