SERIES RETURN: Bill Maher is back for the second half of Season 16. Good thing the news was quiet in his absence, so there won’t be too much to recap. And he’ll be off to a strong start, with former Vice President Al Gore as the opening guest, promoting his new documentary about climate change, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power.

In this week’s episode of this anthology series from the Duplass brothers, James van der Beek plays one-half of a couple (Davie-Blue plays the other half), and the two of them use their time and location in a hotel room to play a joke on a pizza delivery boy. Or, perhaps, more than one joke. ("No anchovies? You've got the wrong man. I spell my name Danger!...")

If it’s Thursday, this must be Sunday. Sunday Night Football on NBC, that is, which is being played three days earlier than usual, as well as a month earlier than usual, because tonight is the annual Hall of Fame game from Canton, OH. Playing pro football’s first big preseason game of the year: the Arizona Cardinals and the Dallas Cowboys.

No, this campy ABC remake still isn’t worth supporting, really – but tonight’s show is so stacked with former Saturday Night Live players, it deserves mention for that, at least. Of course, Mike Myers continues his odd “disguised” hosting chores as British TV “personality” Tommy Maitland. But tonight, the Gong Show guest judges include Maya Rudolph and Andy Samberg, as well as Megan Fox.

SERIES PREMIERE: The first two episodes of My Name Is Earl creator Greg Garcia’s new series are presented back-to-back tonight. Watch them both, because it takes two helpings of this new TV treat to begin to comprehend just how ambitious, clever, and entertaining it really is. The Guest Book, like HBO’s new Room 104, is an anthology show in which every episode features a new cast, set in the same rented room.
