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.

No Glee here
Wed, 11/16/2011 - 12:45 — brookecain (author)I haven't watched a single episode of "Glee" all season. Actually, I watched about the first 15 mins of the first episode and deleted it. Never looked back.
Avoid with Glee...
Wed, 11/16/2011 - 13:11 — coughlin_jakeYou've missed nothing. I was out sick yesterday so I watched an episode with OD then I tried to watch the regular episode after I climbed into bed.
None of the tropes have changed, and it certainly hasn't moved into any new territory. At this point, I think it's a vehicle for pushing songs on iTunes.
They did a mashup on a Hall and Oats song that I thought was inexcusably bad, but I may have been delerious. (I may be now too.)
New Girl
Tue, 11/15/2011 - 19:07 — ncsurveygirlI'm endorsing New Girl! Its silly, so I think thats why I like it. Although, I really dont like Justin Long, so I'm not endorsing tonights episode! I just want Jess and Nick to date already!
I'd endorse "New Guys"
Wed, 11/16/2011 - 12:51 — brookecain (author)I like Zooey Deschanel and I really like all the guys on "New Girl." I just can't stand that Jess character. CAN'T STAND HER. But Schmidt is *really* growing on me. He's why I continue to watch the show. I sometimes have to mute Jess or look up at the wall while she's doing something stupid like hugging a frozen turkey on the floor. I haven't watched the conclusion of last night's episode yet, but I'm assuming everyone in the apartment got salmonella and died?
New Girl
Wed, 11/16/2011 - 19:15 — ncsurveygirlNo salmonella, but there was a dead body! Unfortunately, it wasnt Justin Long's character. I think he just multiplies what you dont like about the show. The guys really are starting to balance her out though.
