Some are worried we don’t know all the characters' names yet. We made flashcards and will have all 6 main characters' names/faces down soon.

What's the name of the room they study in?

I'm aware that the @guarascioport Twitter feed is a parody, mocking David Guarascio and Moses Port, the two guys who have the difficult task of taking over Dan Harmon's Community, a show that seems almost impossibly tied to Harmon's vision and sense of humor, but even the faux inepitude of the imaginary versions of the real-life showrunners still hurts my soul a bit.

Tonight on Arizona Illustrated's Political Roundtable: We break down the CD8 race as Election Day approaches, talk about the latest poll numbers in the presidential race and the U.S. Senate race in Arizona, check in the latest fight between the city of Tucson and Rio Nuevo and—if there's time—hit up a few more topics. Tune in to see Pima County Democratic Party chairman Jeff Rogers, Tucson Tea Party organizer Trent Humphries and former state lawmaker Pete Hershberger take a look back at the week in politics at 6:30 p.m. on Channel 6.

At some point, TLC will either document and/or aid the destruction of our culture and Birth Moms, which documented the lives of three women living in some sort of pre-adoption compound in Utah, including the shoplifting, smoking, drinking star Kandice, is only a sign of our forthcoming doom.

This advice is totally useless if you're not watching Mad Men — and if you're not and you're someone who actually owns a TV, I'm not exactly sure what you're doing with your life — but the weekly edition of Mark Lisanti's Mad Men Power Rankings, now hosted at Grantland.com, is really one of my favorite reoccurring online features. Sure, it's spoiler heavy, so don't read it until you've seen the most recent episode, but Lisanti's non-recap-recap of the show is incredibly funny and far more interesting than the standard "here's what happened" style of most TV show recaps.

A highlight from this week's edition:

9. Meredith the Idiot Receptionist and the Tiny Plane on the Pedestal (tie) (last week: not ranked)

If you're not going to perform your basic job function, you can't really be surprised when someone throws a tiny plane at you.

Tonight on Arizona Illustrated's Political Roundtable: Pima County Democratic Party chairman Jeff Rogers and Pima County Republican Party chairwoman Carolyn Cox debate about this week's debate between Republican Jesse Kelly and Democrat Ron Barber in the special election to finish Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords' term. We'll also talk about the final bills that Gov. Jan Brewer signed and vetoed this week, take a look at whether the Arizona Democratic Party is unfairly keeping voter lists from challengers to Congressman Raul Grijalva and more. It all goes down at 6:30 p.m. on Channel 6.

It never really occurred to me that there would be a new batch of Wiggles, but I suppose I also just assumed that there would be a time when their popularity would fade away and the original cast would disappear with their giant piles of money (they earned $45 million Australian dollars as a group in 2009). Instead, now there's trouble in Wiggletown and three of the members are retiring, leaving Anthony (in blue, who is apparently the group's mastermind) behind. So much children's music drama! Who knew?

A Wiggles insider says public outrage over the way former Yellow Wiggle Moran had been treated by the group had "sucked all the life out of it" for Jeff Fatt and Murray Cook.

The pair, along with Greg Page, who was brought back to replace Moran just four months ago, has stood aside to make way for new blood.

Though Page's return was only ever intended to be an interim measure, his second exit from the group was expedited by his ongoing health problems and the retirement of Fatt and Cook.

The insider said the group was rocked by the public scrutiny and ill-will they faced when Moran was dumped over a pay dispute in January.

"Murray and Jeff are getting older and they've been thinking about this (retirement) for ages," the insider said.

"And Greg is still a very sick man. Their last concerts were duds and the ill-feeling towards them after Sam left really pushed them to do it."

Listen: don't tell people it's "all-you-can-eat" if you don't really mean it. This is America. We don't put up with that sort of falsehood.

Bill Wisth, I don't use the word "hero" very often, but you are the greatest hero in American history. God bless you and your work.

The fact that I'll probably only have so long to appreciate some of my favorite TV shows (Community, 30 Rock and Parks & Rec, like every jerk on the internet) is a little troubling to me, so I'm not particularly inclined to enjoy new shows on network TV just because I think they're going to be dumb and more like the insanely-bad Two Broke Girls than the shows I like which no one other than my friends on Facebook seem to watch.

Proving my point, this description (and the above preview) for NBC's Next Caller, which stars Dane Cook (bad), but also seems to be driven by every cliche ever (super-bad):

What happens when a foulmouthed satellite radio DJ - played by the multi-platinum selling artist and outrageously charming Dane Cook - is forced to share the mic with a chipper NPR feminist? It's anyone's call in this sharp new comedy from producer Stephen Falk ("Weeds") and Emmy-winning director Marc Buckland ("Grimm," "My Name Is Earl").

It's her first day in New York City, and 26-year-old Stella Hoobler is ready to take on the world. After a stint on public radio, she's been hired to co-host the no-holds-barred show "Booty Calls with Cam Dunne." Smart, spunky and passionate, Stella is determined to elevate the show beyond its boys'-club-locker-room humor into a respected debate about men, women and the state of human relationships. But there's a problem: Cam! She's going to find out the hard way that he's got no intention of sharing the spotlight, especially with someone like her. It's going to be a tense fight, but with the station's one rule being "make some noise," Cam and Stella could be a winning combination - as long as they don't knock each other out on their way to success.

Has anyone ever referred to Dane Cook as "outrageously charming," other than just now in this press release? I don't think so, especially considering that his turn as a movie star ended pretty quickly, regardless of the number of attractive women Hollywood tried pairing him with. Also, THE RADIO SHOW IS CALLED "BOOTY CALLS WITH CAM DUNNE". Poor Jeffrey Tambor. Poor, poor Jeffrey Tambor.

Not that I generally watch CBS, other than when I remember that the Amazing Race is on or for sporting events, but they have a particularly terrible idea on their fall schedule: a sitcom about people working at Groupon.

CBS has greenlit Friend Me. Here’s the (rather extensive) logline: “Twentysomething best friends, Evan and Rob, move from their hometown of Bloomington, Ind., to Los Angeles to begin their exciting new lives working at Groupon. Evan is having trouble breaking his old slothful habits and rather than go out after work to explore L.A. and meet new people, prefers to play online poker with his buddies back home. Rob has different plans and is determined to drag Evan, kicking and screaming, along with him.” Cast includes Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Nicholas Braun.

I just don't understand, but at least there are always Mary Tyler Moore re-runs on ME TV. Thank God for those.

I fully recognize that an in-depth discussion of the current state of British game shows might be the sort of thing that only interests a hundred people (including and especially myself), but The Gameological Society, a new game focused spinoff of the AV Club (itself, a more serious, pop-culture oriented offshoot of The Onion) is running a great series this month focusing on just that subject. Last week, they profiled the not-so-great survey show Pointless, but this week, they delve into the quite interesting The Chase. Again, probably not the sort of thing everyone is interested in, but if you appreciate a solid reference to Sale of the Century's Jim Perry, click on over.
