Saturday Night Live, on NBC Global
As "James Bond" fans prepare for the next film in the franchise, "Skyfall" star Daniel Craig tackles comedy. English rockers Muse hit the stage as musical guests, hot on the heels of their latest release.
Q: I was watching the movie "The International" the other day and I recognized the actor who played one of the two New York cops, the older one, but I'm not sure why. Can you tell me who he is?
The cop who helps Interpol agent Louis Salinger bring down an arms-dealing bank in the intrigue-laden 2009 film "The International" was played by longtime supporting actor Jack McGee.
Though he's a respected film actor with dozens of entries on his resume, he's probably better known for his TV work.
He's probably most recognizable these days as Capt. Mike Sutton on the USA Network crime comedy "Common Law." Prior to that, he played Chief Jerry Reilly on the firefighting drama "Rescue Me."

The CSI team hits the mean streets of the Big Apple as they use science to solve crimes in this new episode. The series stars Gary Sinise as a former Marine who leads a team of investigators.
30 Rock, on NBC Citytv
Jack's shockingly bad fall programming line-up confuses Liz in this season premiere. She also struggles to cope with bridezilla Jenna after being recruited to be the maid of honour. Kenneth and Hazel have Tracy over for dinner.
Q: Who does the voice of the bad guy, Rothbart, in "Barbie of Swan Lake"? It sounds so familiar.
That voice is certainly distinctive, but of course it would have to be, since it was also supposed to be the voice of a popular Seattle radio host.
The evil wizard Rothbart in the 2003 direct-to-DVD animated film "Barbie of Swan Lake" is voiced by Kelsey Grammer, best known as the uptight psychiatrist Frasier Crane on the hit sitcom "Frasier," and the classic sitcom from which it spun off, "Cheers."

Castle, on ABC CTV
Nathan Fillion stars as mystery writer-turned-police consultant Richard Castle in this new episode. Fans of the series can also look forward to the release of the graphic novel "Castle: Richard Castle's Storm Season."
Q: Are shows like "Hardcore Pawn," "Lizard Lick Towing" and "Operation Repo" all real? The people seem like they're acting and you're watching "Jerry Springer."
While the shows do all attempt to present a cavalcade of oddballs, much like Jerry Springer did with his now-iconic (and largely staged) talk show, whether or not these three TruTV series are actually true or not is the subject of debate. Oddly, some of that debate is happening within the network.
Bob's Burgers, on Fox Global
