It’s all about name-dropping this week in the television universe:
“Toy Story of Terror!” (Wednesday, 8 p.m., ABC)
The “Toy Story” franchise continues its domination of the under-8 set, thanks to the fact that the star voices, Tom Hanks as Woody and Tim Allen as Buzz, keep coming back for another paycheck. The toys go on a spooky adventure, but the plot doesn’t matter, as kids would be drawn to the show even if Woody were reading the phone book.
“Parks and Recreation” (Thursday, 8 p.m., NBC)
If you’re longing for the best show of last season — that’s “Orphan Black” — you can get your fix of the star of the series, multi-cloned Tatiana Maslany, as she snags yet another role. This time she’s Tom’s (Aziz Ansari) new girlfriend on this quirky comedy.
“Law & Order: SVU” (Wednesday, 9 p.m., NBC)
Richard Belzer’s career as Sergeant (formerly Detective) Munch has spanned two decades — he appeared as the conspiracy-loving cop on shows ranging from “Homicide” in 1993 up through comedies like “Arrested Development” — and his retirement sneaked up on us. But before the SVU gang can say goodbye, Benson (Mariska Hargitay) helps a woman who wakes up to the realization she’s been raped.
“White Collar” (Thursday, 9 p.m., USA)
Season 5 of the likable caper drama returns with FBI agent Peter (Tim DeKay) behind bars. Coming back is the guy who started this whole affair, “The Dutchman,” a k a Curtis Hagen. Neal (Matt Bomer) will need this wily criminal to free his partner, who was framed by Neal’s wayward dad (Treat Williams).
“CSI” (Wednesday, 10 p.m., CBS)
Considering chefs are the new celeb du jour, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to see Wolfgang Puck starring as himself when the CSI team investigates a cooking show where contestants are accidentally served a human carcass (this week’s most ridiculous plot). And speaking of flesh, model Catrinel Menhia Marlon returns as bombshell Elisabetta.
