Watson<\/a><\/p>\n

Who\u2019s that raiding Dr. John Watson\u2019s (Morris Chestnut<\/a>) fridge in the wee hours? None other than the presumed-dead Sherlock Holmes (charismatic Robert Carlyle), who vaguely credits \u201ctrickery\u201d to explain his resurrection after a year in the shadows. While Watson tries to pry answers from the playful master detective, Holmes instead urges his former sidekick to walk him through his latest medical mystery, which involves a team of scientists who may have brought back a \u201czombie virus\u201d from an expedition to Siberia.<\/p>\n

The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson<\/a><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Johnny \u2014 again. No one dominated late-night TV the way Johnny Carson did during his 30-year reign as host of NBC<\/a>\u2018s The Tonight Show (1962-1992). To celebrate the centennial of his birth on Thursday, the nostalgia channel airs a weeklong tribute (through Saturday) featuring several of Carson\u2019s most memorable episodes (11\/10c, 8 pm\/PT), with commentary each night from his renowned bandleader, Doc Severinsen<\/a>. The party gets started with a vintage episode from 1982 featuring Burt Reynolds<\/a> and Richard Lewis<\/a>. Reynolds returns Thursday (Carson\u2019s birth date) for an epic 1973 gathering including Buddy Hackett<\/a>, Don Rickles<\/a>, Dean Martin<\/a>, and Carol Wayne. Those were the days.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the story \u2026 of The Brady Bunch, that cheerfully corny blended-family sitcom (1969-74) that has lived on long beyond its expiration date in endless syndication (and several ill-advised reboots). Barry Williams<\/a> and Christopher Knight<\/a>, who played eldest and middle sons Greg and Peter, reflect on growing up in the show\u2019s media spotlight and basking in the Brady afterglow decades later.<\/p>\n

DMV<\/a><\/p>\n

And how was your day in the office? This droll workplace sitcom, set in an embattled branch of the Hollywood Department of Motor Vehicles, checks in on a particularly trying day, when a heat wave tests the resolve of the facility\u2019s air-conditioning unit and the sanity of its customers and employees. After a new clerk publicly melts down, Colette (Harriet Dyer<\/a>) is worried that hunky new hire Noa (Alex Tarrant<\/a>), on whom she has a major crush, will follow suit. As befits the rules of TV comedy, the more she tries to make things better, the worse things get for her. As her co-worker Gregg (Tim Meadows<\/a>) points out, speaking like a seasoned driving examiner, \u201cYou can\u2019t stay in your lane, and when you drift, you cause damage.\u201d<\/p>\n

X marks the spot \u2014 make that \u201cex\u201d \u2014 when Jane Lynch<\/a> welcomes an \u201cex-wives club\u201d of eight reality-TV veterans to the podium to endure her scorn as they answer trivia questions, playing for charity. Don\u2019t expect much charity from Lynch when she introduces Real Housewives<\/a> alums Dorinda Medley<\/a>, Cynthia Bailey<\/a>, Jill Zarin<\/a>, and Vicky Gunvalson alongside Tamar Braxton<\/a>, Kate Gosselin<\/a>, Shanna Moakler<\/a>, and Kendra Wilkinson<\/a>.
