TV Geek Army Field Report – Community, 30 Rock, and a horde of shows return

It seems impossible that this many new and returning shows hit the air tonight after the maelstrom we've already enjoyed (and, in some cases, endured) this week.

Because we're a Geek Army with a televised focus, we feel no compunction to be objective, so obviously the return of NBC comedy superstar Community's return is the most exciting. NBC's fall comedy lineup includes 30 Rock and The Office (both of which suffered from some burnout last season) as well as new show Outsourced, where " A manager is sent to India to oversee a staff of customer service representatives."

And don't neglect to check out recent TVGA coverage, including reviews of freshman sitcom Raising Hope and the return of Cougar Town. Mike Proper also reviews Terriers latest, and muses about whether the show has gone too dark too early.

    More From Eric - TV Geek Army "Revered Leader"

    Now that Paul Kinsey (Michael Gladis) made a brief but splashy and phenomenal return during last night's Mad Men episode, "Christmas Waltz," there remains only one significant advertising pro from the early seasons who has not made an appearance in the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce era.

    My first thought was: "Sounds pretty good, will definitely check it out when it makes air." But then the Bigger Picture came into play.
