“Supernatural”(Tuesday, 9 p.m., The CW)
Why bother with another State of the Union address, which airs at the same time, when you could enjoy the rare appearance by the always entertaining Garth, played by guest star DJ Qualls? Despite being the new Bobby, we haven’t heard from the funny man much except for a few phone conversations with demon hunters Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles). So perhaps this episode will explain why their guide has been MIA, even from his safe house-boat.
“Community” (Thursday, 8 p.m., NBC)
Not enough Nathan Fillion for you? His comedic talent as a bumbler who takes himself too seriously will undoubtedly get put to use when he plays the head janitor at Greendale Community College. In an episode that teams up former “Breaking Bad” hit man/current Chevy Chase replacement Jonathan Banks and Annie (Alison Brie), the duo take on the latest weird departments to be featured on this comedy — joining John Goodman’s vaunted Air Conditioning Annex. In addition to the powerful custodial bloc, the unlikely pair will tackle parking, headed by guest star Robert Patrick, which can only result in a bunch of “Terminator” and “X-Files” references by Abed (Danny Pudi). Kumail Nanjiani and Paget Brewster also guest star.
“Castle” (Monday, 10 p.m., ABC)
Guest star Frances Fisher channels Meryl Streep channeling Anna Wintour to play a “Devil Wears Prada”-type fashion magazine editor whose assistant is murdered. And if they’re heading into the world of fashion, perhaps Kate Beckett’s time as a teenage model can be used to dress her beautiful portrayer Stana Katic in a couple of frocks that aren’t police procedural-issued ensembles.
“Revolution” (Wednesday, 8 p.m., NBC)
At this point, the bits about the random celebrity guest stars who’ve survived world annihilation — David Schwimmer is the only surviving “Friend,” it turns out — are the highlights of this never-ending mission to get the lights on, then overthrow the government, then cure typhus, then switch teams and start all over again. Bret Michaels shows up this week to play a post-apocalyptic version of himself, performing an acoustic version of his band Poison’s “Every Rose Has Its Thorn.”
