Just when you thought we might be getting back into the swing of things with our television schedules, this week brings with it a mixed bag of new episodes, reruns, and sports. But don’t worry, there are definitely still more than enough great things to get us through. ABC’s Wednesday lineup is unfortunately all reruns, but NBC’s Thursday lineup and Saturday Night Live are all new. There will also be more new episodes of Portlandia and Onion News Network on IFC, and both Patton Oswalt and Nick Thune will make appearances on Conan. So those are all very good!
The only other notable bummer is that some kind of sports something (Professional bowling? Next week is Super Bowling) is happening on Fox Sunday night, so there won’t be a new Simpsons or Bob’s Burgers. Boooo sports! But at that time I would suggest either watching Showtime’s Sunday lineup or the shows that you had to DVR all week. Or I guess you can watch the sports thing? Whatever floats your boat.
