Important Things with Demetri Martin (Comedy Central) — Season 2 premiere. I found the first season a little uneven but ultimately enjoyable for the scenes that worked. I’ll be watching — right after I get done with “Archer.”

The Sarah Silverman Program (Comedy Central) — Season 3 premiere. I like the idea of pairing these show together, but I’m really sick of all these networks putting their funniest shows on Thursdays. You know, I’m willing to laugh on other nights of the week.

Grey’s Anatomy (ABC) — Between “Better Off Ted,” “Modern Family,” and this weird habit I’ve gotten into of occasionally watching “Castle,” I’ve seen a whole lot of promos for “Grey’s” recently. And every single one of them makes me want to punch the TV.

Parks and Recreation (NBC) — If you haven’t read the A.V. Club’s interview with Aziz Ansari yet, you should check it out.

The Office (NBC) — Kathy Bates guest stars. And this is supposed to make me want to watch how? When did this show become the worst part of NBC’s Thursday lineup? Right, this year. But I meant that as a rhetorical question.

Bones (Fox) — Winter finale. In case you don’t speak the language of TV executives, “winter finale” is corporate speak for “the show’s going on break while NBC has the Olympics, and we need to find a way to make this unnecessary break in the season sound important.”
