Glee (8pm, Fox) - This is not an endorsement, I'm just telling you it's still on the air... Sue starts a smear campaign to take down her biggest foe for the congressional seat, and Will and Shelby Corcoran encourage some friendly competition.
New Girl (9pm, Fox) - Also not really an endorsement, although last week's episode was slightly less annoying than usual... Tonight, the gang hosts Thanksgiving dinner at the loft and Jess invites a colleague (Justin Long) she's always had a crush on.
Raising Hope (9:30pm, Fox) - This is an endorsement! Burt's well-to-do parents (Lee Majors, Shirley Jones, left) are last minute Thanksgiving guests, but the Chances' decision to "borrow" someone else's house for the feast takes a bad turn when the real owners come home early.
Nazi Hunter: Elusive Justice (9pm, UNC-TV) - Another endorsement: Candice Bergen narrates this account of Nazi war criminals who evaded prosecution, including some who served the Allies as scientists and spies. The documentary explores why governments and institutions failed to prosecute and punish them, and those who took matters into their own hands. This repeats at 3 a.m. on UNC-MX and November 17 at 2 a.m. on UNC-TV.
Parenthood (10pm, NBC) - Huge endorsement! Seriously, this show is so good. Tonight, Adam and Crosby land a new client and Adam has an uncomfortable (understatement!) run-in with Rachel, the possibly-skanky office assistant.
Unforgettable (10pm, CBS) - I abstain from editorializing because I've never actually seen a whole episode of this, but they do have Marilu Henner tonight... Carrie and Al investigate the murder of a teen who seemed to have no enemies. Elsewhere, Carrie seeks help from her estranged aunt (Henner, who also serves as a consultant for the show) to help probe her sister's murder.
Raising Hope (9:30pm, Fox) - A 13-year-old kid's obsession with Sabrina drives Jimmy nuts, and Burt and Virginia wonder how to get Maw Maw's gold tooth back after she swallows it.
New Girl (9pm, Fox) - This show is back tonight after a few weeks off, and I'm sad to admit I didn't miss it a bit. Tonight: Nick lands a date with an attractive coworker (Lake Bell) but then Jess (Zooey Deschanel, left) accidentally walks in on him naked and her laughter kills his self-confidence. As I'm sure it would for anyone.
George Harrison: Living in a Material World (9pm, HBO) - Part one of Martin Scorsese's sprawling two-part documentary on George Harrison. Tonight covers the early years with the Beatles and features archival footage and remarks from Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. The conclusion airs tomorrow night. Check out the
Prohibition (8pm, UNC-TV) - In the conclusion to this three-part documentary series, Ken Burns looks at the factors that led to the end of Prohibition, including the criminalization of alcohol which fed large profits into the coffers of criminal organizations and turned gangsters such as Al Capone into celebrities. Also, wealthy Pauline Sabine, who encouraged the repeal of the 18th Amendment and brought together women of all classes who supported her position.
New Girl (9pm, Fox) - This new sitcom opened to gangbuster ratings last week, which is cool. I just want Zooey Deschanel's character to be a little less totally helpless, so I'm hoping some tweaking begins tonight (Nerdy does not have to equal stupid, okay writers? Okay.). Tonight, the guys help Jess get her stuff out of her ex's apartment, and we meet Winston (Lamorne Morris), an old roommate who returns from playing basketball overseas and moves back into the loft. The Damon Wayans Jr character is out (you can find him over at "Happy Endings" on ABC, Wednesday nights at 9:30).
Glee (8pm, Fox) - In the Season 3 premiere, the glee kids are depressed following their disappointing showing at Regionals, so Will assigns them a project to get them back on track. Also, Sue Sylvester is running for Congress.

Glee (8pm, Fox) - A special 90-minute episode that focuses on the music of Lady Gaga. Can it be worse than last week? They'll try!
