Ensemble cast comedies have been working out pretty well for CBS.

In fact, for the past few years, the network has boasted two of television's highest rated half-hour comedies -- "The Big Bang Theory" and "How I Met Your Mother." But as the March 31 finale of the latter loomed, fans wondered what, if anything, could take its place.

For those who haven't kept up with CBS's changing whims, seeing a cliffhanger ending to "Under the Dome" this summer must have been as terrifying as anything Stephen King wrote himself.

That's because at first CBS was marketing "Under the Dome" as a "limited series," which is basically a modern buzzword for "miniseries." A miniseries, of course, is supposed to have a neat and satisfying ending.

Parks and Recreation, on NBC Global

Flu season returns with a vengeance in this new episode. Andy (Chris Pratt) and a very sick Leslie (Amy Poehler) are short on Unity Concert performers and desperately search for new talent. Elsewhere, Tom (Aziz Ansari) attends a wine competition.
