“30 Rock” on NBC at 8:00pm ET.

“American Idol” on Fox at 8:00pm ET. The finalists are chosen tonight in a two hour episode.

“Parks and Recreation” on NBC at 8:30pm ET.

“Archer” on FX at 10:00pm ET.

“Awake” on NBC at 10:00pm ET. Series premiere. So… I’ve only seen commercials for this but I’m gonna go ahead and place my bet that Lucius Malfoy is actually in a coma, because I saw a commercial where he was out performing cop like duties and made it clear that he wasn’t certain if this was reality or a dream. I know this is the central premise of the show, but I can’t think of ANY version of reality where a cop who was unsure of what reality was would still be out detecting and questioning and all that shit. Still, it’s got a good actor in the lead role and an interesting premise so it’s probably worth a shot.

Hello to Jason Isaacs.

I agree with everything Man of Stool just said.

Mrs. Julien: Pajiba 10, I'd like you to meet Jason Isaacs. Jason Isaacs, this is my Pajiba 10. Well, Pajiba 5. I'm sorry, what was that? "No women?" I'm a Pre-Internet Heterosexual™ so, no, no women. Seriously, have you seen you? You are a banquet unto yourselves. The 4, soon to be 5, of you are enough for me. Now Jason, I suspect you know Mr. Craig and Mr. MacGregor already. That is Mr. Giannechini on the left and Mr. Bova on the right, the smoldering one. Don't stand too close to him, Jason, or this place might catch fire. The space in the middle is for a yet-to-be-named choice. Recommendations are welcome. What's that? "Idris Elba? The Rock?, Sam Elliott." Ah yes, Sam Elliott. The classics never die. Well played, gentlemen. Now, if all of you could just turn your backs for a moment, no!, not you Jason.

If you're looking for quality Jason Isaacs action may I recommend Case Histories. The series is based on the books by Kate Atkinson and are about a private eye working in Edinburgh. Not only is it an absolutely superb series, Jason gets his shirt off in almost every episode!
