Rules of Engagement (CBS, 8:30 p.m.) — Season premiere. Whereas you can’t wait for Community to come back later this week, your burnout friend from high school who still lives back home is eagerly anticipating the SEASON SEVEN PREMIERE of Rules of Engagement. David Spade truly is the sad crack addict’s Joel McHale.
Adventure Time (Cartoon Network, 7:30 p.m.) — “Finn’s hat comes to life while he and Jake are swimming.” Justified should do the same story, just replace Finn and Jake with Raylan and Tim.
How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8 p.m.) — Wait, How I Met Your Mother is on CBS? I HAD NO IDEA. Anyway, if you’ve given up on How I Met, it might be worth checking back in tonight, for Robin Sparkles, Vol. IV with special guests Every Single Famous Person from Canada ever. Except Barenaked Ladies.
Bunheads (ABC Family, 9 p.m.) — “Sasha holds a housewarming party.” The actress who plays Sasha, Julia Goldani Telles, is kind of like IRL Cosette, in that she was born in Rio de Janeiro, grew up speaking Portuguese, moved to the U.S. when she was young, then learned English. Meaning: she’s hella talented.
The Following (Fox, 9 p.m.) — “Hardy and the FBI try to predict the actions of a new follower named Rick,” played by Michael Drayer, who portrayed the titular character in the great Louie episode,” Bully,” or the one where Louie followed a kid to Staten Island after getting mocked during a date. F*ck that kid.
LATE NIGHT GUESTS: Chris Christie and Joe Flacco on Letterman; Hugh Jackman, Jessica Chastain, and Michael Bolton on Leno; Melissa McCarthy and Mark Duplass on Kimmel; Zooey Deschanel on Ferguson; Russell Brand, Katharine McPhee, and Jim James on Fallon; Michelle Rhee on Stewart; and Sonia Sotomayor on Colbert.

7 seasons? Huh. Pretty amazing.
rules of engagement has really been on for 7 years? holy crap.
HEY! The Barenaked Ladies are triple platinum… are you?
God, why is everyone so quick to defend this band!?
Whoa. Talk about being a bit sensitive.
Maybe BNL has two Billboard awards to your zero?
Calm down Canada.
We saw Barenaked Ladies after a baseball game. I told our friend I was excited because they were my favorite band ever, and she said “Really?!” and I said “No, I just like saying things that have never been said before.”
Even more impressive is that they’re Triple Double Maple.
It is worth mentioning that Steven Page of The Barenaked Ladies is making an appearance on tonight’s HIMYM.
this is the most work he’s gotten since they kicked him out for doing blow
WHERE ARE ALL OF YOU BNL FANS COMING FROM?!
“Wheels, Ontario”?
Does anyone even know anyone who knows anyone who watches Rules of Engagement?
I’m not going to lie, I have no idea what that even is.
All I know is Puddy is in it and so is the mom from Grounded for life. Basically All I know about the show I got from the banner image.
Also it is probably not a spin off of this movie
i’ve seen a couple episodes on netflix. it’s the definition of mediocre, but Puddy provides the occasional life.
but puddy
I actually don’t mind them, in as much as they are a slap on the face to the Tragically Hip’s kick to the groin and being mugged while your girlfriend decides to tell you she’s been cheating on you.
God Damn the Tragically Hip are the suckiest sucks to ever suck.
“Rules of Engagement” reminds me of the Traveling Wilburys. It has people in it I’ve like quite a lot in the past — Warburton, the hot mom from “Grounded for Life,” even Spade — but put together it just sounds like shit.
I stuck around for that show longer than I should have for GFL Mom’s big jiggly boobs (and Puddy makes me laugh with just his voice alone).
I am frankly shocked every time I hear it is still actually on the air.
Those things must be hiphuggers by now.
@Otto: I kinda liked The Wilbury Stomp, but otherwise? Good analogy.
So, The Layover (Trav) and Top Gear (BBCA) it is and off to bed early.
To be fair, outside of David Spade, Rules of Engagement should be good on who else who is in it.
I’m not saying it is, but just based on theory, it should be.
God I can’t wait for Community to be back.
Y’all keeping talking about Puddy, but all I hear is Brock.
I’m simultaneously perplexed that Rules of Engagement is still on the air and amazed that it’s only been seven seasons.
Lighten up on Rules… it’s the least of CBS’ sins. And it’s hardly the Spade show. He is 3rd lead at best. Yes, he is still that smarmy little creep he plays every single time. But on the show, he’s treated as pathetic.
Alright, I haven’t watched HIMYM since the 2nd episode of this season because it’s been atrocious. I will give it another shot. I hope it wins me back.
I hope Warming Glow does a post when they finally reveal who the mother is. Until then, I will continue not watching it. That show lost me years ago. I’m shocked it’s still on the air more than Rules of Engagement.
One of the BNL guys actually was on HIMYM, I believe.
Holy crap… the following is awesomely dark and disturbing… like Jenny McCarthy’s bush from her first playboy shoot.
Spade is looking particularly Vince Neil-ish there.
Dude, why “she is kinda like IRL Cosette”? Because she was born in Rio? It’s not like she wasn’t born in the slums..
Nerd funfact: Alexis Bledel on Gilmore Girls (ASP’s other better show) also grew up in Mexico/Texas and English is also her 2nd language. This girl on Bunheads is like the bitchy Rory.
