Last night, "Greek" aired its Valentine's Day episode -- and only over a week after the actual holiday! But never mind; if we can deal with all those "Simpsons" Halloween specials airing in November, we can hang with this too. And in the spirit of the show's academic setting, I'll be grading some of the episode's key elements, after the jump.

How many baseball movies can you stand to see referenced in a single episode of a teen drama? Last night's "Greek" may have tested your limits. The full recap is after the jump.

When ventriloquist/comic Jeff Dunham appeared on "The Jay Leno Show" (above), two weeks before the premiere of his eponymous sketch series on Comedy Central, he was probably feeling pretty confident. He'd already set one ratings record last year with his Christmas special, and was probably pretty confident that his weekly series could best even those numbers -- which it did, with its premiere last week. He was also probably pretty excited to see his legendary success explicated in the Paper of Record. What no one would have bet on was that Dunham's show's ratings would drop so fast from Week 1 to Week 2...but here we are. Of course, Dunham's rabid fan base might have spent last Thursday watching Game 2 of the World Series, and could return to Dunham this week, when no baseball game is scheduled. But if you can't wait that long, there's plenty more of Dunham and his dummies characters after the jump.

Cliff Lee and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Yankees 6-1 last night in the first game of the World Series (above). Lee pitched a complete game, Chase Utley hit two home runs...and I'd talk about the actual game more, but thinking about this year's World Series gives me night terrors (I'm a Mets fan). Still, there was one moment in last night's game that was absolutely hilarious.

In the sixth inning, Lee got Johnny Damon to pop out to the mound, and he caught the ball. Pretty routine, right? But he did it in the least interested way he could muster -- perhaps unintentionally -- but really, guy, it's the World Series. Maybe using two hands would've sent a better message...you know, to the kids. Hit "continue reading" to see Lee's catch.

David Letterman invited Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira to take some batting practice on 53rd street the other day, and the host took the opportunity to take a few hacks himself. The MLB Network (yes, Virginia, there's an MLB Network) was watching Teixeira's visit, and some of its personnel offered their expertise, critiquing Letterman's swing like he was a prospect in spring training. Then, Letterman rebroadcast MLB Network's clip of commentator Harold Reynolds critiquing Letterman's clip, and the whole thing gets so meta that my head hurts.

Anyway, to see how the 62-year-old's swing stacks up, check out the clip above.

The New York Yankees have a new stadium this season, and a new first baseman to play in it: Mark Teixeira. The front office must have known the team needed a new face to replace the steroid-tainted and generally scandal-ridden slugger Alex Rodriguez, and they got that in Teixeira, who was also courted by the rival Boston Red Sox, and Teixeira's hometown Baltimore Orioles. Nice try, Boston and Baltimore, but Teixeira has had his eyes on the Bronx since he was a kid, and talked about it last night on "The Late Show with David Letterman."

"I always knew I wanted to come to New York," he said. "It's just a great place to play, obviously. Can't beat the Yankees...I used to go to Orioles games as a kid with a Don Mattingly shirt on. I was a huge Mattingly fan -- everyone my age is a Mattingly fan -- and so I'd get heckled as an 8-, 9-year-old in Baltimore. And now, as a 29-year-old, I go back and get heckled just the same."

After the interview, Letterman took Teixeira outside for a little batting practice on 53rd Street. Check out the results in the clip above.

There are lots of problems in the world -- things that make us worry about the future of humanity. Things like Shaq "borrowing" television show ideas from a friend, or Mickey Rooney Twittering, or Jon and Kate Gosselin.

But do not let these things bring you down, and especially don't let them ruin what is sure to be a wonderful weekend. The universe has some wonderful things planned for you, so you need to be ready when they come your way. And don't go looking for them: they will find you.

Follow the lead of the kid in this video. Kick back, relax, and when the universe sends good vibes spinning toward you, make sure you catch it with both hands.

Ken Burns's nine-part "Baseball" documentary is getting a tenth installment, to be broadcast at some point next year. Burns's original project aired in 1992, which was way back before the strike, the All-Star Game that ended in a tie, and of course, that whole steroids thing. Since, Burns has been working on projects including "The War," a World War II documentary (details above), which probably will gave him plenty of ideas for how to address those Roger Clemens steroids hearings.

There were a few season finales this weekend, one of which was "Kings," may it rest in peace (sniff). "Denise Richards: It's Complicated" went out with a bang (or shall we say, a wail) when she hollered "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" at Wrigley Field. And, fueled by pineapple pina coladas, the lovely Daisy finally picked her prince!

Otherwise, this weekend brought the usual rumpus on "Kendra," more creepy creatures on "Merlin," and Joel McHale making fun of Gordon Ramsay and his minions on "The Soup." In the video above, Joel zooms in on "Hell's Kitchen" contestant Robert (remember him?), who shared his secret for appetizer success: "You gotta heat up the oven before you get busy, baby" [wink, tongue action]. For a full roundup, click "continue reading."

As you may have heard, Denise Richards sang (or tried to sing) "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" at Wrigley Field on May 1, and it was a disaster. As if hollering tunelessly about Cracker Jacks in front of an entire stadium full of people wasn't embarrassing enough, her performance will air on Sunday's season finale of her reality show, "Denise Richards: It's Complicated." Better yet, E! will broadcast her (unsuccessful) session with a voice coach before her epic singing fail. See a sneak preview, above, when she has a rare moment of foresight: "I'm just going to throw the pitch out instead. I just don't want to f*** up this song," she says. We're so glad she steered clear of her instincts.
