I’ve noticed that I have several shows that I watch that I really don’t have much to say about, so, rather than search my brain to find something creative to say, I’ll just give a little bit of what the network preview says.  So, here’s what’s on tonight:

My Name is Earl – Harassed a Reporter – NBC – 8/7c

Earl’s back after a seven week hiatus (these long breaks suck…man, the 24-formula has me spoiled).   

Tonight, via Spoilerfix, centers around how, back in his pre-karma days, Earl’s gang made up false news stories and would call up reporters to get the fake stories on the news.  Tonight Earl has to make up with a reporter whose career he destroyed with those fake stories.

The Office – Safety Training – NBC – 8:30/7:30c

Having “I’m gonna lose my freaking mind” Andy return during the closing credits last week only to have Dwight pepper spray him immediately was absolutely classic.  Tonight, Andy’s ready to make a fresh start with his coworkers after undergoing anger management.  Also, the Dwight/Michael chemistry, which has been sorely absent over the past few weeks, should be back in full swing tonight as they show the hazards that can come from the dangerous work environment of Dunder Mifflin.

30 Rock – Corporate Crush – NBC – 9/8c

NBC says:

Liz is happy in her new relationship with Floyd (Jason Sudeikis); a company executive (Rip Torn) warns Jack that he is keeping an eye on his performance.

Scrubs – My Words of Wisdom – NBC – 9:30/8:30c

With last weeks departure of Nurse Roberts, we had a great example of  what I love about Scrubs.  This show manages to be ridiculously hilarious one moment, then completely hits the brakes and can be soberingly serious the next. 

NBC says:

After saying goodbye to Nurse Roberts, members of the staff incorporate some of her lessons into their lives.

ER – Photographs and Memories – NBC – 10/9c

It’s also been a long time since we visited ER.  So long, in fact, I’ve kind of competely forgotten everything that’s happened.  Let’s let NBC remind us:

A photographer (Annabella Sciorra) comes into the ER with a terminally ill patient; a new surgical intern, who appears to be Dr. Dubenko’s new favorite, upstages Neela.

Notes From The Underbelly - Pilot; Animal Style – ABC – 10/9c

My wife’s super-pumped (pump…heh…that was not intentional) about this one, so it’s added to my watch list for Thursday nights.  Entertainment Weekly gives it a B, saying:

Overall, however, Underbelly eschews cliché and makes pregnancy surprisingly laughable — including a very funny gag with a breast pump. A phrase I never thought I’d say.
