This may be my only chance to post a Nirvana picture – let me have this.

In his ongoing attempt to prove that anything you can do he can do better, Foo Fighters’ frontman David Eric Grohl has signed on as an executive producer of an FX comedy about a feuding rock band that seeks professional help when they’re on the verge of stardom. Unfortunately, according to Deadline, “they end up with a misanthropic couple’s therapist from Agoura on the brink of divorce.” Gee, what would Grohl know about a band collapsing under the crushing pressure of fame?

The unnamed show was created by and will star former “Ben Stiller Show” and “Simpsons” writer Dana Gould, who also released a great comedy special, Let Me Put My Thoughts in You. A “Simpsons,” Nirvana, and Tenacious D pedigree is promising, even if (or because?) the premise sounds like “Some Kind of Monster: The Sitcom!” The most important detail of the show hasn’t been announced, though: what’s going to be the name of the fictional band? Corgi Explosion? Wet Taint? Long Hair and the Babes? Not Nirvana? Leave your suggestions.

The best network on television is FX, hands down. Its track record isn’t spotless — the last few seasons of both “Rescue Me” and “Nip/Tuck” were slogs, and “Wilfred” is only middling-to-good depending on the episode and your intoxication level — but on a percentage basis, FX succeeds far more frequently than it fails (even if is too quick to pull the cancellation trigger on some of its better series like “The Riches,” “Terriers,” and the amazing but short-lived “Thief”). That is to say: A network that airs “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” “Justified,” “Sons of Anarchy,” “The League,” and “Louie” has no business even putting a show like “Unsupervised” on the air. It is atrocious, and FX would be wise to take it out behind the woodshed and put two in its head before the show causes further damage to the network’s otherwise sterling reputation.

The best way to describe “Unsupervised” is as “Beavis and Butthead” without the music videos (or “Jersey Shore” segments) or any of the humor. If Seth MacFarlane and Mike Judge had a baby, beat it until it was brain-damaged, and gave it an animated series, it might look like “Unsupervised.” Its failure is inexplicable, as it comes from David Hornsby, (“It’s Always Sunny’s” Rickety Cricket), who also wrote, created, and starred in the abysmal “How to be a Gentleman,” which was canceled earlier this year on CBS. Still, without the restrictions of network television, and with exec-producers Charlie Day, Rob McElhenney and Glenn Howerton, “Unsupervised” seemed a much better bet for Hornsby’s comedic style. However, after the first episode, you can’t help but think that the “Sunny” guys did it as a favor to Horsnby, and FX greenlit it as a favor to the “Sunny” fellas. Somebody along the way should’ve had the testicles to say no.

As good as its surprising first season was, “Justified” entered rarefied heights in its second season, earning critical acclaim (a well deserved Emmy for Margo Martindale, plus nominations for Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins) as well as fanboy huffing here at Warming Glow, where all of the show’s trappings — a shoot-first protagonist, complex characters, femmes fatales, bourbon, snappy one-liners, and noir undertones — appeal equally to our intellectual proclivities and baser instincts. Entering Season 3, my primary concern was whether “Justified” would match Season 2′s quality and join “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad” as a terrific show that grows from year to year, or regress to mere testosterone thrills, as its FX mate “Sons of Anarchy” did after its own stellar second season. After viewing the first four episodes of Season 3, I’m happy to say that the former is very much the case: “Justified” is still one of the best shows on television.

To Zombiedom!

If you’re one of the 365,875 people who “Like” “Justified” on Facebook, as you should, you saw a video posted to your News Feed this morning. It was a behind-the-scenes look at season three, but the *SPOILER?* headline read, “Is Mags coming back as a ZOMBIE?” The correct answer is, of course, no. That would be extremely dumb, and creator Graham Yost says as much 30 seconds into the clip; it’s just a way for FX to get people to look at their video, kind of like what I did with my headline. And yet:

As of my typing this, 122 people have commented on the post, and many wrote something along the lines of, “No zombies, please! Good grief! If I wanted to watch something that stupid I would watch The Walking Dead! WTF? If ya’ll do this, you have lost one of your biggest fans!” Or, “I will have to quit watching. No stupid zombies. This show will be another stupid copycat of the dumb vampire thing.” Or, simply, “Cant wait to c Boyd…abc.” Who the fu*k are these people, and why are they so gullible?

Moral of the story: “Justified” is awesome, with or without zombies, and people are stupid. Anyways, here’s the video, AND OMG IF THEY BRING BACK MAGS AS A ZOMBEE, IM DONE W/ JUSTIFEED 4 EVA.

Adam Reed’s brilliant “Archer” is all set to return on January 19th after a lackluster three-episode run in the fall (sorry, “Archer” is fantastic — the best animated sitcom on television — but those three episodes were weak sauce). If you’re not watching “Archer,” well, first of all, what’s wrong with you? And second, f*ck your dolphin. You’re seriously missing out. Did you know, for instance, that Archer was the first to recognize that the turtleneck could be used as a tactical garment? The tactical turtleneck? The tactalneck? You’d know that if you watched, you filthy whores.

Ahead of its return, the FX Network has released a series of promo clips explaining what Archer would do in certain situations, such as the above one, “What Would Archer Do On New Year’s Eve?” After the jump, there’s three more, and all four clips suggest that the show is once again in fine form. And a reminder to all of you from Sterling Archer ahead of the New Year: Whether you call them high end escorts, prostitutes or call girls, they’re all hookers when they’re dead.
