Entertainment Weekly has inconclusive definitive proof that this is "24's" last season. The show needs a U.N. Secretary General, and talent agencies got this casting call: "These are the final episodes, so if some of your name people would like to do something on the show, this is the time for them to do it." This can only mean that Dana is going to go bonkers and kill everyone because she's on the verge of being outed as a dirty redneck. Or it could meanthat  NBC will pick up the show and replace Kiefer Sutherland with Jay Leno. (I just made up that last part about Leno.) Whatever happens, I want Stephen Root to join the cast full-time to kill terrorists with a red stapler. But if it does end, please let Jack Bauer eat for the entire final hour. He deserves it.

Jerry is built to be abused in every conceivable way. It's his reason for existence. There's a French term for that, but we are in Pawnee, not Paris (pronounce that "pair-eee" so it rhymes). Look, the guy just wants to retire in peace! Give him a break already! Your six very important reasons to watch this episode of "Parks and Recreation" are after the jump.

The foundation for an explosive season of "The Real Housewives of New York" is being poured, and bodies are being dumped in the hardening cement. We hope. This season could be epic. Kelly has returned to full-on crazy egomaniac. Bethenny thinks she's the second coming of Joan Rivers (she's not). And the rest, well...check them out after the jump.

Brian Buterbaugh says he came to New York to be famous, but the thought it would be as a rock star. Fame is a funny thing. At least 15 minutes of it finally found him when he stopped looking for it, he says. Well, he kind of did look for it when he applied to be on "Shear Genius," but whatever. His moment arrived in a form he did not expect, and he made the most of it. In fact, many people would argue he shouldn't have gone home last night, but this is a TV show and Brig brings the crazy, so she stays! But now that Brian's done, he's not holding back and playing Mr. Nice Guy like he did on the show. That means he has plenty to say about the haters, judge Jonathan Antin, Brig being a genius, and Edie Sedgwick (LOOK IT UP!). He pulls no punches after the jump.

It makes sense that a chef who can turn anything into foam would land a cooking show on a science-fiction network. But lest that sound like a bubbly helping of Haterade, "Top Chef" Season 2 finalist Marcel Vigneron is not a bad guy: he just played on TV. There were many people (me) who thought he was miscast in that role, and that Ilan Hall was much more annoying. Although, Marcel certainly has his moments -- like in the video above.

"NCIS" was back in fine formula form after nothing but curveballs last week. And Tony made up for a week with no pop culture references by really laying them on thick last night. And we got double doses of almost everyone in the cast, thanks to the Bizarro World crew from CGIS (Coast Guard Investigative Service). Read the Formula Scorecard after the jump.

Is this season of "24" trying to teach us a lesson about love? A nuclear bomb in the heart of New York City as a metaphor for the struggles we all face in the human heart? Every terrorist plotline is complicated by a man and a woman's dysfunctional relationship. The only way this bomb does not put a big ol' dent in Gotham is if they all get some couples' counseling, stat. More after the jump.

The best thing about Ann and Mark's relationship on "Parks and Recreation" was Andy trying to break them up. Other than that, it was usually comedy Ambien. It never seemed like the writers gave them much to work with, except standing around and looking pretty while everyone else hit their lobs out of the park. So as likable as Paul Schneider is, it's hard to be that sad that he is leaving the show to devote his attention to his movie career. More after the jump.

"The Real Housewives of New York City" started off so strong, the second episode was sure to be a bit of a letdown. Can't they yell and yank wigs and regress to being 12-year-olds in every episode? At least we got a little screaming this week. Thanks, Ramona. She's bringing the crazy this season, people. This week was all about new battle lines and choosing sides. Jill, Kelly, and LuAnn are in one camp, and Ramona is in another trying woo Alex (Switzerland) and Bethenny (land war in Asia). Click "continue reading."

April Barton tried to be diplomatic about her ouster from "Shear Genius" last night, but after struggling to find the words, she just said what a lot of people were thinking: Brian should have been sent home. This is not to say that she was totally please with the her work. The judges said she made a 21-year-old look like a 31-year-old, and didn't put much effort into the second phase of the challenge. One even said she made her model look like a headshot on the wall of a bad Chinese restaurant. They sent April home to New York City and her salon, Suite 303 in the Chelsea Hotel. But they sent her home recharged. After the jump, find out why -- and also find out why she's going to be the Oprah Winfrey of hair.
