A season of Project Runway where every challenge is a team challenge? Er, okay.

News

Raising Hope is planning a big My Name is Earl reunion, TVLine reports. Jason Lee, Jaime Pressly, Ethan Suplee and Eddie Steeples will all reprise their regular Earl roles and Nadine Velaquez will play a party supply store employee.

CBS is developing a small screen version of the Cameron Diaz comedy Bad Teacher, which sounds like a bad idea, but it does have a Happy Endings writer working on it.

According to EW, Taissa Farmiga is in talks to appear in the third season of American Horror Story.

Still looking for a show to capitalize on The Hunger Games like The Vampire Diaries did with Twilight, the CW is filming a new pilot for the post-apocalyptic romance The Selection. The network also ordered a pilot from Supernatural producer Sera Gamble, Company Town about a Virginia Navy base and the nearby town.

George Takei will appear in an episode of The Neighbors, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That means ABC has finally found a way to get me to watch The Neighbors.

TBS is giving a show to Jackass'Bam Margera. Bam's Bad Ass Game Show will debut in 2014 and feature competitors attempting crazy stunts.

CBS announced the cast for the 22nd season of The Amazing Race as well as the twist — the first winning team will get two Express Passes, one for themselves and one they have to give to a rival team. It's described as the "most diverse" cast and will include John Wayne's granddaughter.

Er, yikes. Showtime is developing a "high-octane crime thriller" about a group of neo-Nazis, Deadline reports.

In ratings news , The Taste did pretty well. Meanwhile, thanks to all those mentions in stories covering Manti Te'o, Catfish: The TV Showmatched its series high.

Rosie Perez makes a return appearance as guest-host as Liam McIntire shows up to talk up Spartacus. Don't worry, McIntire's physique (he's buffer this season) is on the list of topics for the discussion.

You know they weren't going to leave things off with Will walking in on Gabi's ultrasound. Today he pushes for his rights as the child's father. Join us for when we liveblog the action, starting at 1PM Eastern!

30 Rock (NBC) 8:00 PM ET
As if it weren't hearbreaking enough to face the idea of Liz Lemon being around for only one more week, we're reminded that the end is near when Liz tries to save TGS from cancellation.

Last Resort (ABC) 8:00 PM ET
ABC's military drama may have had its up and downs (if only somebody could go back in time and advise show creator Shawn Ryan to skip over the presence of a local bad guy) but it's been an interesting ride. That ride reaches its final destination tonight with the Colorado in danger of being captured. No matter how that ends, ABC will wrap things up by having one more show it can submit in the miniseries category at the Emmys.

Project Runway: Road to the Runway (Lifetime) 8:00 PM ET
Are you excited about this year's team-focused season? (Yeah, no.) Then you'll want to build the anticipation with this casting special.

The Vampire Diaries (CW) 8:00 PM ET
There's a big fight over Jeremy, which suggests there's finally some sensibility in Mystic Falls, as Klaus tries to use the younger Gilbert, prompting Damon and Elena concocting their own plans to make sure Klaus never takes action against Jeremy again.

Parks & Recreation (NBC) 8:30 PM ET
Looking to prove that women can thrive in male-dominated jobs, Leslie and April work a shift as garbage collectors. I'd like this to be a reason to have flashbacks to those Charlie's Angels episodes where the Angels had a not-so-jiggly undercover assignment, but unlike Leslie Knope, Sabrina resisted the urge to bring a binder full of suggestions on how the job could be done more efficiently.

The Office (NBC) 9:00 PM ET
It's the beginning of the end for Dundler-Mifflin Scranton. Tonight we reach the episode where producer Greg Daniels says you should start watching if you want to catch the full endgame story arc. What makes this the beginning of the end? For one thing, we're going to see our first look at the documentary crew that's been filming all this time.

Glee (Fox) 9:00 PM ET
Glee returns by trying to surprise us with a Sadie Hawkins dance that promises "interesting" pairings. By now, shouldn't most of Glee's surprises inspire little more than an almost-gasp, followed by a "I guess it makes sense they'd go there."

Project Runway (Lifetime) 9:00 PM ET
When did Project Runway jump the shark? Was it when the show switched to Lifetime and moved to Los Angeles? Or was it when the judges picked Gretchen over Mondo? Whenever that happened, it feels like we're definitely in the post-shark jump era of a once-great series now that we're getting an entire season centered on team challenges.

Anger Management (FX) 9:30 PM ET
I have no idea what to think about last week's episode. A few years ago, there might have been something to a story where a gay man learns not to stereotype people who seem gay, but in 2013 it feels a little trite. Especially on a network like FX. This week sees Charlie try to resist the urge to start a relationship with a former patient.

Archer (FX) 10:00 PM ET
Suddenly, Aisha Tyler's not the only Archer cast member as hot as her animated counterpart. Tonight Timothy Olyphant shows up as Sterling's former best friend. And by "best friend" I'm guessing they mean, "Someone horribly wronged by Archer". I mean, that's how all of Archer's close relationships end.

King of the Nerds (TBS) 10:00 PM ET
Okay. That premiere totally won me over. While I'm sure there are some viewers tuning in to laugh at the nerds, I'd think anyone who has spent their fair share of time hanging out with nerds will feel familiar with this cast. If you want more geek cred, look to this week's guest-judges: George Takei, Buffy alum Adam Busch and costume designer (this week's challenge involves cosplay) Yaya Han.

Kathy (Bravo) 10:00 PM ET
Kathy's got The Good Wife's bad husband, Chris Noth and the other rude, female late-night host Chelsea Handler.

Suits (USA) 10:00 PM ET
Just because Daniel's gone, that doesn't mean the firm is safe. A new rival shows up, looking to take advantage of the weaknesses left by Daniel. This rival is proven to be hardcore when Mike can't send them away by blinking adorably at them.

Totally Biased with W Kamau Bell (FX) 11:00 PM ET
FX's late night offering continues to have the greatest guest list in late night talk (sorry Kathy, let's discuss the topic again after you get Rachel Maddow) with George Takei. That's right, tonight brings a double dose of Takei. At least, I hope I read that right because I've got my hopes up for Bell and Takei.

Watch What Happens Live (Bravo) 11:00 PM ET
Andy's wrapping up the week with Liam McIntyre and Kimora Lee Simmons.

Newsreaders (Adult Swim) Midnight ET
It looks like My Sister Sam alum Jenny O'Hara shows up in tonight's episode.

What will you be watching tonight? Please share in the comments!

Tomorrow's Preview

Anderson Live (syndicated) Check local listings
Anderson spending this Frugal Friday with a "Cosmetics Cop" comparing the high and low end brands.

Spartacus (Starz) 9:00 PM ET
It may be the final season, but not before we get plenty of barely-dressed rebels.
