Four weeks after Andy rescued Kelly Erin from Tallahassee and Nellie staged her Scranton coup d'état, “The Office” returns. NBC says of tonight’s “Welcome Party”:
Robert makes the office throw a welcome party for Nellie, and the party planners try to sabotage it. Meanwhile, Andy and Erin practice how Andy will break up with Jessica.
NBC says of tonight’s “Origins of Vampire Mythology”:
When Britta's old flame "Blade" (Kirk Fox, "Parks and Recreation") returns to town with the traveling carnival, she confesses to the group that she needs their help to stay away from him. While Annie, Troy and Abed scheme to keep her occupied and away from Blade, Jeff and Shirley head to the carnival to get a look at the mystery man. Meanwhile, Dean Laybourne (guest star John Goodman) enlists the help of Dean Pelton to convince Troy to join the Air Conditioning Repair Annex.
NBC says of tonight’s “Meet The Woggels”:
When a health complication lands Jack's mother (guest star Elaine Stritch) in the hospital, Liz encourages Jack to share his feelings before it's too late. Meanwhile, Jenna tries dating a musician, and Tracy works to convince his son not to go to college.
Get More: Punk'd, Full Episodes
Last week “Up All Night,” which airs its season finale tonight, sank to a new personal low of 1.2. Is that enough to keep it from coming back next season?
Returning tonight:
Eagleheart (11:59pm CN)
* LOSERS OF THURSDAGEDDON!!
Series that hit new season lows last week:
Big Bang Theory
American Idol
Grey’s Anatomy
Touch
Community
30 Rock
Awake
* LORDS OF THURSDAGEDDON!!
Series that did NOT hit new season lows last week:
Person of Interest
Swamp People
Mudcats
* "With a 0.9, "Awake" last week matched the series low hit by "Prime Suspect." But not the 0.8 scored by "The Firm" one Thursday.
* Call it the Snooki Factor. “The Pauly D” project isn’t doing nearly as well as “Jersey Shore.” With its Bam Margera episode, “Punk’d” has a big second-week drop also.
* Shonda Rhimes’ “Scandal” is off to a poor start. “Private Practice” never fell below 2.1 this season.
* I think 2.8 may be the lowest “Grey’s” ever sunk ever. Could the Shonda era soon behind us?
