Daily Picks For Tuesday, April 29, 2008

Everywhere around the world...they're coming to Archuleta.

In my (man, many) instances of recommending Will & Grace in this space, I've no doubt made my feelings clear on the subject of Harry Connick Jr.'s Leo. Those feelings being fffthhhhhbbbbbt! Lucky for me today's episode kicks off the arc with Woody Harrelson as Nathan, the preferred person to put up with Grace's massive bullshit. (Lifetime, 11 AM)

You know, of all those mid-to-late-1990s shows that shoehorned some sort of performance venue into the show so as to attract cross-promotable music acts -- The Peach Pit After Dark on 90210, P3 on Charmed -- Melrose Place was probably the most awkward and ill-fitting, particularly once Amanda Woodward dipped her toes into the niteclub business. Anyway, check out the totally seamless Sean Lennon (Sean Lennon!) cameo in this afternoon's episode. (SOAP, 11 AM)

No, it's not exactly an event when Kathy Griffin stand-up specials show up on the Bravo schedule, but I love her, and you know she totally Googles herself, so my new plan that I just put together right now is to continue to plug her TV appearances in this space until she caves and emails me and grants an interview. Project Kathy Griffin begins...now: watch Allegedly this afternoon. The Martha Stewart "white sale" bit alone is worth the DVR space. (Bravo, 1 PM)

Teri Hatcher can do seven more seasons of Desperate Housewives and still never come close to the cultural impact of "They're real and they're spectacular." Seinfeld's "The Implant" will endure. (TBS, 5:30 PM)

It's not the apocalypse, it's just a sad commentary on the economic realities of the music industry: Neil Diamon shows up on American Idol (FOX, 8 PM), followed by Def Lepard on Dancing With The Stars. Fingers crossed for Steve Perry to show up as a pervert on Law & Order: SVU! (ABC, 9 PM)

Two episodes in and I've already become exhausted by Work Out. But I'm always ready to see Brian Peeler get taken down a peg in his he-man endeavors, and the previews for tonight's episode suggests I won't be disappointed. (Bravo, 10 PM)
