It's always uncomfortable when a real politician appears on The View. Not because of the partisan squabbling among the co-hosts nor the inane questions. Well, okay, it is those things. But also: how bad do you feel for the politicians. You know Elisabeth Hasselbeck or Sherri Shephard is going to say something stupid that they think is in support of John McCain, and he's just going to have to weasel out of it later. Of course, after getting the Heidi Montag endorsement (ABC, 11 PM)

Today's Will & Grace rerun is billed as Molly Shannon's second appearance as psycho/stalker Val, but what it should be known for is Neil Patrick Harris's performance as the leader of ex-gay group looking to convert Jack. ...Yeah, but watch it anyway, he's great. (Lifetime, 11:30 PM)

Oooh! Oooh! Marissa dies! Marissa dies! Today's rerun of The O.C. is the one where Marissa finally stops sucking as she gets run down by that butterface from Never Back Down. Good times. (SOAP, 4 PM)

Shannen Doherty's reign of terror comes to an end on 90210 today. These episodes also feature David's dirty, dirty devirginization at the skanky hands of Kari Wuhrer. (SOAP, 5 PM)

Okay, so now there's going to be a merge on Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites. Everybody take a minute to cross your fingers for poor, outnumbered Eliza. For my sake if not for hers. (CBS, 8 PM)

The big-time appointment TV of the night, however, is the return of NBC's comedy lineup. I have missed the hell out of you, 30 Rock and The Office. (NBC, 8 PM)

Finally, I have found myself weirdly attached to Step It Up & Dance despite the truly haggy awfulness of Miguel and the general humorlessness of the judges. Your, sir and madam, are no Nina Garcia. (Bravo, 10 PM)
