Community (NBC, 8 p.m.) – If you recall, last month we interviewed “Community” writer Megan Ganz, who based tonight’s “Law & Order” parody episode on “the Jack McCoy years, seasons four through eight.” So those hoping for an Anthony Anderson reference will be disappointed. Everyone else will love it.
NFL Draft (ESPN, 8 p.m.) – If the Carolina Panthers don’t draft Justin Blackmon (assuming he drops to #9, which he won’t) or Fletcher Cox, expect tomorrow’s GIF slideshow to feature nothing but people screaming/killing everyone. Until then, check out KSK’s NFL Draft live blog.
30 Rock (NBC, 8:30 p.m.) – Live from New York, it’s “30 Rock.” Doctors Baird and Spaceman will likely show up (OHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASE), and Donald Glover definitely will, but if you could choose one other recurring character to appear, who would it be? I really miss Cooter Burger.
Parks and Recreation (NBC, 9 p.m.) – Paul Rudd returns as Leslie’s opponent, Bobby Newport, in an episode written and directed by Amy Poehler. I want to be friends with both of them.
The Office (NBC, 9:30 p.m.) – “Nellie learns how to eat a taco.” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is the greatest C-plot in the history of TV. Expect a shot-by-shot analysis tomorrow. I bet she likes hard-shell tacos. Because she’s terrible.
LATE NIGHT GUESTS: Robin Williams and Andrew Luck on Letterman; Diane Keaton on Leno; Emily Blunt on Kimmel; Toni Collette on Ferguson; Jason Segel and Leelee Sobieski on Fallon; Jack Black on Conan; Robert Draper on Stewart; and Jack White on Colbert.

inb4 Hard Shell vs Soft Shell PolFlaWa
I stand by my decision.
Like everything else about me….soft.
My leaning changed when Taco Bell introduced the dorito taco shell. That stuff is crack.
First Atkins douche to say “lettuce shell” gets punched right in the pacemaker.
I watch The Office every week, and still had to Google ‘The Office Nellie’ reading that.
I live the soft taco life and I am not ashamed by this.
Hey, that’s the way to go.
They already aired Parks and Rec here in Canada and can I just say you will not be disappointed.
I think I speak for everyone here: FUCK YOU Canada.
I saw the ep in the US (note: tumble ain’t care about your country and spoiler GIFs) and have to agree with the Canadian. That was awesome.
No love for Jon Hamm with ladie’s hands on “30 Rock”?
*lady’s
I mention him. He’s Dr. Baird.
Yeah, but you forgot about Chris Parnell.
Aw, it’s nice that you have faith in the Panthers.
Also, I’m of the opinion that Dr. Spaceman should be in every episode.
I would not be against a Matt Damon cameo on 30 Rock.
Matt Damon was great in his last episode.
SILENCE, SHREIKING HARPY!
I WILL WASTE YOU!
Short of touting the soundtrack, is there a worse endorsement of a movie than leading your ad with “From the producers of that movie you liked?”
Soft tacos > hard tacos. FACT!!
Panthers fan? My condolences.
/Still bitter about having to watch that awful product in 2010.
Dennis Duffy needs to be in more episodes. He’s wasted on insurance commercials.
To be fair, his commercials are usually pretty funny.
They’re the only tolerable car insurance commercials.
When they take a soft taco and fry it.

THE PANTHERS ARE THE GREATEST TEAM AND THEY WILL WIN ALL THE SUPER BOWLS.
“A man’s gotta have a code.”
“…Awesome.”
I don’t know what I did to earn a show made just for me, but I’m sooooo happy I did it.
Fringe was renewed. Yay!
Yay!
Thanks Mother Nature for screwing me out of tonight’s Community episode.
My God, 30 Rock. Killing it right now.
And now for The Office to destroy all that momentum before Parks and Rec.
If you didn’t think tonight’s 30 Rock was funny, you are dead inside. I need more Black Jon Hamm in my life
BANJO!!!
Blackface Jon Hamm was awesome!
The first hour of NBC programming tonight was a thing of beauty. I loved it all, but Jack and Pete making out for no reason in the last second of 30 Rock reduced me to helpless giggles. It’s been ten minutes and I am still laughing over it.
Agreed. Spectacular. Now, wake me when Parks and Rec starts.
I honest to God mean this with no pun intended.
The Office…woof.
STARBURNS! NNNOOOOOOOOo!!
I never really liked Starburns. Plus, Dino I don’t know how to spell his last name is kind of a douche anyway. Just ask Doc Hammer.
Live ep of 30 Rock is radical as expected
The casting of Michael Ironside was inspired.
3/4 awesome shows on NBC tonight.
A man’s gotta have a code!!!! Eeeep!
there are various levels of execution that Community could have had with that L&O episode. of course they hit the highest level. they hit every nuance of that show. amazing.
It really was impressive how well they pulled it off.
Heh, east coast = Paul McCartney
west coast = Kim Kardashian
Advantage: Europe
Buddy Garrity on Parks and Rec forever.
My girlfriend summed it up nicely: “I just don’t care what happens on The Office.” It’s not anger or even all that much contempt, but rather total apathy. It’s not that they can’t have funny moments. It’s that I don’t want to pay enough attention to wait for them.
