Community (8pm, NBC) - All new comedies tonight on NBC. On "Community," Jack Black tries to join the study group, and Jeff becomes editor of the Greendale Gazette Journal. Doesn't he know newspaper jobs only end in heartbreak? On "Parks & Recreation," Leslie (Amy Poehler) goes on a date with a doctor, played by her real life husband Will Arnett. Then there are two new episodes of "30 Rock." James Franco guest stars as himself in the first one, aggravated that Jenna is pretending to be in a relationship with him.

Grey's Anatomy/Private Practice (9pm, ABC) - It's another crossover night, and the action centers around Addison and Mark McSteamy Sloan, and Mark's pregnant daughter.

Project Runway (10pm, Lifetime) - "Project Runway" returns! And we mean it really returns this time, because it's finally back in New York where it belongs. Now we can try to forget the failed LA experiment that was last season.

Archer (10pm, FX) - You'll get two back-to-back half-hour episodes in the debut of this naughty new animated action series. It's created and produced by a UNC grad, and we think it's definitely worth checking out.

Bones (8pm, Fox) - A man dressed like Santa Claus robs a bank and then blows himself up. Merry Christmas!! More importantly, Zooey Deschanel, real life sister of "Bones" star Emily Deschanel (both at left), guest stars. 

Community (8pm, NBC) - Anthony Michael Hall is on as a bully hassling Jeff, who happens to be preoccupied about failing Spanish (please let this mean we get Senor Chang tonight).

Parks & Recreation (8:30pm, NBC) - Leslie in the middle of a sex scandal? Sounds just about right.

The Office (9pm, NBC) - Phyllis and Michael battle over who gets to play Santa. Meanwhile, Dunder-Mifflin is sinking like  a stone. 

30 Rock (9:30pm, NBC) - Jack reconnects with an old flame (Julianne Moore).

Jersey Shore (10pm, MTV) - It's the new reality show that has Italian Americans up in arms. But I'm not sure if making threats against MTV staff is the most effective way to argue that Italian Americans in New Jersey aren't all just a bunch of guidos. The show is pretty awful and advertisers are already bailing, so if you're curious, you better watch it while you can.

Community (8pm, NBC) - YES. We're looking at a Señor Chang-heavy night on "Community," when Jeff befriends our favorite Asian Spanish teacher and then begins receiving special perks. 

Bones (8pm, Fox) - Booth's grandfather (Ralph Waite) moves out of a nursing home and in with Booth, and immediately begins meddling in his personal life and with cases. 

Parks & Recreation (8:30pm, NBC) - Leslie + Ron + hunting trip = hilarity. We hope. 

Grey's Anatomy (9pm, ABC) - I know there are a lot of "Grey's" haters out there, but there were some juicy developments on last week's show. I'm very concerned about The Chief (right). That development  breaks my heart, but also explains a lot. 

The Mentalist (10pm, CBS) - I can't for the life of me remember where I read this, but word on the street is that at least one significant character from the show will be killed tonight at the hands of Patrick Jane's nemesis, Red John. The CBS synopsis says the team investigates a death "in the office." 

Vampire Diaries (8pm, CW) - Damon tells Stefan the real reason why he returned to Mystic Falls. Stefan is stunned, so I'm assuming it has something to do with Virginia tourism.

Community (8pm, NBC) - I'm still singing last week's awesome "Gettin' Rid of Britta" in my head and hoping for another classic moment tonight. Sounds promising: Abed's films seem to predict the future, and Pierce (Chevy Chase) tries to help Britta quit smoking.

The Office (9pm, NBC) - Another episode about office rumors???

Grey's Anatomy (9pm, ABC) - Kim Raver ("24" "Lipstick Jungle") joins Seattle Grace as an Iraq war veteran who also happens to be a cardiothoracic surgeon. Also, Izzie returns with her high school mentor (Joel Grey), who is seeking treatment for dementia.

Project Runway (10pm, Lifetime) - Tonight is part one of a two-part season finale. The final three designers prepare for a Bryant Park Runway Show under the watchful eye of mentor Tim Gunn. 

For my money, the funniest moment in NBC's two-hour comedy block last night came during Pierce's (Chevy Chase) college rock band debut, playing keyboards and singing backup to Vaughn's woeful song of heartbreak (and moving on), "Gettin' Rid of Britta."

The lyrics are clever, and Vaughn is easy on the eyes in that sensitive musician kind of way. Rocker Vaughn won me over with lines like, "It isn't like I would ever hit her, but I would sell her to the highest bidder." But it's Chevy chiming in with "she's a no good B" and "she's a G D B" while jamming on the keyboards that had me cracking up -- and watching over and over and over again.

Check it out below.

It's Halloween at Glendale Community College, and everyone's excited. We're just seven episodes into this show's strong first season, but we know by now that mass excitement can only lead to disaster. And hilarity.

Annie decides to host a "Danza de los Muertos" party so she'll get extra credit in Spanish class - but mostly so she can throw her first successful party in the school's library. It's all part of her sad but endearing pursuit to be cool.

Meanwhile, Jeff finally sets his sights on a new woman (the unsatisfying Jeff/Britta will-they-or-wont-they plot was beginning to drag) - his statistics professor. Unlike Britta, Professor Short Skirt says she's interested but won't date students, even if they're older than she is. Hints of Britta's jealousy are subtle, thankfully, which plays out much more naturally. Shirley, meanwhile, is more visibly upset about the Jeff's flirtation - but she's just projecting anger because her ex-husband visited and asked for her wedding ring back earlier. Ouch.

Community (8pm, NBC) - Annie hosts a Day of the Dead Party, which conflicts with Jeff's plans to court his statistics professor. Pierce (Chevy Chase) gets a little carried away as he confronts getting older.

30 Rock (9:30pm, NBC) -  Jack and Liz visit Kenneth's hometown looking for fresh talent (expect lots of over-the-top Southern stereotypes) and Tracy is afraid his will be the third death after two other celebrities die. Betty White and Jeff Dunham appear in guest roles.

Real Housewives of Atlanta (10pm, Bravo) - It's part one of two reunion shows featuring the feuding brats of Atlanta. The ridiculous fighting between NeNe and Kim is pretty unbearable at this point, so the only compelling reason to watch this is Kandi, who will talk about how she's dealing with the sudden tragic death of her former fiance, AJ (left).

Ace of Cakes (10pm, Food) - In the seventh season finale, the
gang goes to New York to prepare a cake for the premiere of "Harry
Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," and also a cake honoring an upcoming
"ghostgirl" novel.

Community (8pm, NBC) - Jeff has an ulterior motive for urging Troy to join the school's football team, but Annie interferes. Whatever. Just please give me some more Señor Chang (right).

The Office (9pm, NBC) - Jim and Pam return from their honeymoon only to learn that Michael is now dating Pam's mom. As you might expect, Pam isn't exactly thrilled about the news.

The Jeff Dunham Show (9pm, Comedy Central) - A new show from the comic puppeteer Jeff Dunham. The review in "The Hollywood Reporter" says it best: "You'll be the dummy if you tune in." It's up to you, but you've been warned. 

Grey's Anatomy (9pm, ABC) - A burn victim dies unexpectedly in the ER and the chief has to find out which resident is responsible. 

Real Housewives of Atlanta (10pm, Bravo) - "Is your wig squeezing your brain too tight, heifer?" "I'm supposed to forget that you choked me?" No, no, that's not a scene from "Masterpiece Theatre." That, my friends, is the season finale of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" calling. 

The Office and Community (8 & 8:30, NBC) - If you missed the premieres of NBC's big sitcoms on Thursday, you have been granted a second chance to see two of them tonight. Michael Scott begs you to watch. 

Georgia O'Keefe (9pm, Lifetime) - A biopic of modern artist Georgia O'Keefe, with terrific acting from Joan Allen, who plays O'Keefe, and Jeremy Irons who stars as her husband, photographer Alfred Stieglitz.

The Locator (9pm, We) - NFL football player Paul Spicer's parents split up before he was born. Tonight, Troy Dunn helps him look for his father. If you've never watched "The Locator," read this great article by TV Squad and you'll see why you should give it a shot.

Peter, Paul, and Mary: Carry it On - A Musical Legacy (9pm, UNC-TV) -  The story of Peter, Paul, and Mary with recollections from all three members of the group (Mary Travers passed away earlier this week). Archival footage includes concert and interview segments with a digitally processed soundtrack.

Survivor: Samoa (8pm, CBS) - Hard to believe, but this is the 19th season of "Survivor." Tonight, right after being divided into two tribes but before they are even given a chance to speak to each other, they are charged with electing a chief who will make all their decisions.

Bones (8pm, Fox) - The fifth season premieres with Booth (David Boreanaz) fresh from surgery to remove a brain tumor, but suffering from bouts of amnesia. Angela's psychic, played by Cyndi Lauper, tells them there are bodies buried under a fountain in Washington, D.C., so Booth and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) are back on the job asap.

Fringe (9pm, Fox) - Congress is all up in the Fringe unit's Kool-Aid in tonight's second season premiere. In addition to the scrutiny from congress, Olivia returns to familiar surroundings, but there's a "mysterious entity" tracking her. Olivia also gets to add "super hearing" to her trick bag this season.

SNL, Parks & Recreation, The Office, Community (8pm-10pm, NBC) - Tonight is NBC's big comedy debut night, starting with "SNL Weekend Update" at 8pm. Amy Poehler will join Seth Myers at the Update desk for the first two weeks. Next is the second season premiere of "Parks & Recreation," in which Leslie (Poehler) accidentally tries to "gay marry" two penguins in a publicity stunt. Comedian Louis C.K. joins the cast as a love interest for Leslie. At 9pm, "The Office" season 6 opens with Dunder-Mifflin staffers gossiping about summer interns. Michael (Steve Carell) feels left out so he goes out looking for a rumor to spread. Then at 9:30 it's the premiere of NBC's new sitcom "Community," starring Joel McHale and Chevy Chase. Here's our full review, but in a nutshell: it's funny.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (10pm, FX) - Season 5 opens with Frank, Mac, and Dennis trying their hand at real estate (great timing) and Dee decides to be a surrogate for a rich couple.
