Unless you have a dog in the Giants/Phillies NLCS playoff tonight we recommend the lineup below. Of particular note is Comedy Central's "Night of Too Many Stars" (Twitter: #2ManyStars) autism benefit - some pretty hilarious hijinks for a great cause, if you're a fan of comedy that's where you should spend some time tonight. See our interviews at the event at the end of this post.

We've always thought that the keeper was "Hawaii Five-O" with "Blue Bloods" as questionable, whereas "Mike and Molly" and "(Bleep) My Dad Says" were probably the least acceptable new comedies this season. Demetri Martin's show can't come fast enough.
