It's about time they brought back Men in Trees.

Saturday Night Live: The Two Things Eli Manning Did Right

This weekend's Saturday Night Live was filled with the terrible sketches we've come to expect from the show. Even Weekend Update failed to get the tanning lady right by having her not be remotely dark enough -- if you're going to go for it, really go for it. So, despite an appearance by Sacha Baron Cohen (in Dictator-regalia) and Martin Scorsese, the episode was a dud. There were poor excuses to get Eli Manning in drag, be awkward and to say the word "penis" repeatedly. In fact, there were only two moments even worth remembering... and they were both pre-recorded sketches. And only one of them involved the actual host.

Game of Thrones: Our Weekly Westeros Scorecard

Theon can't cut off a head to spite his face and other notable moments from last night's Game of Thrones installment, "The Old Gods and the New."

Girls: The Good, the Bad and the Funny

This past week, Louis CK tweeted at Lena Dunham, "[Y]our show is really really good and funny and unique and other things. So keep going. Please." I wonder if this will make the outspoken anti-Girls critics on the Internet reevaluate their hate?

We miss Downton Abbey, too, but if you're desperately in need of quality British television entertainment to tide you over until the Crawley clan's return in January 2013, we strongly recommend that you give Sherlock a try.

Now, it's back for a second batch of three 90-minute episodes, which kicked off last night with "A Scandal in Belgravia." Yes, we know Sunday is a busy night for television and everything, but if you don't already have Sherlock on your DVR, here are five reasons to add it right away:

Community: Death is Your Gift

At the conclusion of last week's Law & Order-themed episode, the Greendale student body lost one of its own -- the enigmatic, drug-dealing, pet-lizard-owning and sideburns-rocking Alex Osbourne a.k.a. Star-Burns. Last night's outing, "Course Listing Unavailable," was an offbeat farewell to the character that followed the arc of the five stages of grief... well, maybe three out of five anyway.
