The TV Junkie Must-Watch Plan: "The Big Bang Theory," "Fierce Funny Women," "Man vs. Wild" (Borneo), "Archer," "Conan" (Actor Seth Rogen; media personality Wendy Williams; Lykke Li performs), "Lopez Tonight" (Actor Paul Reubens; Actress Emanuelle Chriqui), "The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson" (Comic Wanda Sykes; actor Kevin McKidd)Last night's PaleyFest2011 focused on NBC's "Parks and Recreation" and was moderated by Michael Ausiello of TVLine.com. It was a great panel that was all the greater because we had a stage-full of comedic actors, stand-up, and improv veterans who also have genuine affection for each other, something that is very apparent on-screen/
