Sunday – American Dad! (But never forget #GinsbergsNipple.)
Monday – Louie
Tuesday – Fargo
Wednesday – Suburgatory, ending (?) to the tune of the Violent Femmes. (Although Billy on the Street will probably take over this spot once I watch it, considering Elena stopped by again.)
Thursday – Jeopardy! Battle of the Decades Final, Day 1
Friday – Jeopardy! Battle of the Decades Final, Day 2
Saturday – Orphan Black, with Felix getting it on to the tune of “Head Over Heels” by Tears for Fears

Andy Samberg’s Monologue (BEST OF THE NIGHT)
