Chandra

The doctor is definitely in on the fresh February 10 episode of CBS’ The New Adventures of Old Christine called “A Family Unfair.”

Even cooler for fans of sketch comedy television is the fact that the physician is played by Saturday Night Live veteran Tim Meadows.

His character Dr. Volk enters Old Christine’s hectic life after she grows jealous of her ex-husband Richard and New Christine’s impending new-baby status. Naturally, their good fortune causes her to want to have another child of her own, as well.

Preview “A Family Unfair” in the following promo clip.

Old Christine’s Wednesday-night companion Gary Unmarried follows at 8:30pm ET with a brand-new episode, too. Called “Gary Lowers the Bar,” it revolves around Gary’s ill-advised attempts to give Sasha a better Valentine’s Day gift than the fabulous present she gives him. Good luck with that, Gary!

Check out the promo for “Gary Lowers the Bar” below.

The New Adventures of Old Christine and Gary Unmarried air Wednesdays on CBS at 8pm and 8:30pm ET, respectively.

Chandra

Veteran television actor and The L Word alum Steven Eckholdt guest stars on “Crude and Uncalled For,” the fresh February 1 episode of CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men.

Charlie Sheen, Angus T. Jones, Jon Cryer/Two and a Half Men

He plays Brad, Alan’s lawyer, whose help is desperately needed…

…After Alan gets into a fight at a bar (yes, a bar fight!!!) and ends up in jail. Worse — for Charlie, at least — it seems Chelsea might have a thing for the attorney.

Check out the quickie promo for “Crude and Uncalled For” below. Shocker! As the clip clearly shows, Alan is actually the one who delivers the first blow during the public brawl. Wonders never cease.

Next on ‘Accidentally on Purpose’: Attack of the 50 Foot Woman

Chandra

Unfortunately for viewers, there isn’t an actual ginormous female on the brand-new February 1 episode of Accidentally on Purpose called “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman.”

Jenna Elfman/Accidentally on Purpose

Instead we have the same old familiar Billie, who’s behaving extra manipulatively, but for a very good cause.

Tired of coming across like a constant nagger, she decides to find other, more subtle ways to get Zack to do what she wants, such as helping out with chores around her apartment.

Meanwhile, dependably ridiculous Davis pursues and lands a job working at a gay bar to fatten up his wallet a bit.

CBS doesn’t have a promo or sneak peek for “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman” to get us all excited for the episode, but you can take a look at a six-minute clip below featuring Accidentally on Purpose regulars Jon Foster (Zack) and Nicolas Wright (Davis) interviewing series set decorator Eric Hill for the premiere of their so-called lunchtime talk show.

Accidentally on Purpose airs Mondays on CBS at 8:30pm ET.

The Big Bang Theory: ‘The Einstein Approximation’ Preview

Chandra

Aaah! A new month, a new episode of CBS’ hit sitcom The Big Bang Theory. Coming up on February 1 is the Sheldon-centric “The Einstein Approximation.”

The Big Bang Theory

And I bet Penny is going to be thrilled during the action, too.

Why? Because when Sheldon gets it into his head that he absolutely must solve a certain physics problem, his strategy for achieving that goal involves him becoming Penny’s colleague at her long-time Cheesecake Factory job. If he scores a waiter gig, I feel sooo sorry for the diners at his tables.

Take a look at both a sneak peek and a promo for “The Einstein Approximation” below.

The Big Bang Theory airs Mondays on CBS at 9:30pm ET.

Neil Patrick Harris Directs Next ‘How I Met Your Mother’

Chandra

How I Met Your Mother fans are in for a real treat during the January 18 episode “Jenkins,” which happens to be directed by none other than series star Neil Patrick Harris, who’s making his directorial debut with the installment.

How I Met Your Mother

Also of note is guest star Amanda Peet (The X Files: I Want to Believe, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip) as the title character Jenkins.

While Robin deals with the discovery that she has inspired a drinking game that’s all about her, Marshall copes with Lily’s refusal to believe that his pretty coworker Jenkins kissed him. So, I wonder just how far Marshall will have to go to prove to his wife that what he says happened actually happened.

Take a look at the “Jenkins” promo below, and you can also learn more about Harris’ experiences as a first-time director in his recent TV Guide Magazine interview. It’s a good read.

How I Met Your Mother airs Mondays on CBS at 8pm ET.

Next on ‘The Big Bang Theory’: The Psychic Vortex

Chandra

Wonder Years alumna Danica McKellar guest stars on the new year’s first fresh episode of The Big Bang Theory, January 11th’s “The Psychic Vortex.”

The Big Bang Theory

McKellar stops by to portray Abby, a potential romantic interest for adorable yet woman-shy Koothrappali. I hope he gets really lucky.

Apparently, Koothrappali encounters lovely Abby when he and Sheldon go to a university social gathering. Elsewhere, poor Leonard becomes irked when he learns that Penny is partial to psychics, which doesn’t surprise me in the least on both counts.

Sneak a really quick peek at “The Psychic Vortex” in the following promo clip, and tune in later at 9:30pm ET to catch the full episode.

The Big Bang Theory airs Mondays on CBS at 9:30pm ET.
