Parks and Recreation (NBC) – Leslie wants to bury a time capsule that encapsulates life in Pawnee, and it turns out April reads Warming Glow and wants to meet me in real life because she thinks I’m doing such an awesome job.  Enjoy this episode, because next week is RON AND TAMMY: PART TWO.

Eagleheart (Adult Swim) – “Get A Life’s” Chris Elliott stars as a former action star who is basically Chris Elliott’s Chuck Norris.  It’s from Conan O’Brien’s production team, it’s full of Tim and Eric jokes from the guy who basically created Tim and Eric jokes, and Paul Kinsey from Mad Men shows up.  What else do you need to know?

Archer (FX) - After Malory is wiped out in a Ponzi scheme, she hatches a scheme of her own: selling lock, stock and snack machines to archrival spy agency ODIN.  Then Archer drives in, sings an entire song with the window rolled up and drives the car off of a stage.

Community (NBC) – A Dungeons & Dragons themed episode with Ben Chang in blackface and Annie giving Abed tips on how to sexually please a woman.  If one of those two things doesn’t interest you, I don’t know what to tell you.

TNA Wrestling (Spike) - Do not watch TNA Wrestling.

LATE NIGHT GUESTS: Leno has Jeff Bridges, Letterman has the hilarious/awesome combo of Howard Stern and Naughty by Nature.  Conan has Lisa Kudrow and the host of Nickelodeon GUTS.  OK Go shows up to show off all of their favorite viral video ideas on Lopez.  Fallon has the hottest women and the least hot man in the world, Minka Kelly and Dana Carvey.

Ordinarily I’d decry everything about this video — from JWoww to pro wrestling to offensively stupid announcers — as part of the decline of intelligent TV programming. But this is such a huge step up from Bill O’Reilly on “The View” that I don’t really mind. At least some of these people are attractive.

Jenna Morasca, the “Survivor” winner who got naked on the show for chocolate and peanut butter — who hasn’t been there before? — will begin a new career as a pro wrestler for “TNA iMPACT” on Spike next week.  This will be the first significant career move by Morasca that does not involve taking her clothes off (see her NSFW Playboy spread with Heidi Strobel here).  From EW.com:

“Everyone is covered in glitter and makeup and stuff and then goes and beats the crap out of each other,” says Morasca about what attracted her to wrestling. “This is perfect for me.”

Although she won’t actually wrestle at first, Morasca will indeed start fighting after taking a crash course in the “sport.” Unfortunately, the 28-year-old reality star has declined to take on a sassy new name/identity for the ring. “I’m gonna be me because it’s more beneficial to know it’s me from Survivor,” she explains.
