Opening Credits Gag: "Made From 100% Recycled Pixels." Ah, so that's why this episode smelled like a burned-out Dell.
The Highlights: It's an election year, and things usually get pretty good on "Futurama" when politics are involved. Or technology. Or religion. Okay, pretty much anything that can be harshly satirized is great on this show. Truth.

If "Community" goes out after this season, it's going out completely intact. Deadline reported Thursday that NBC has secured the entire regular cast to return for the fourth - and possibly, last - season. That includes Chevy Chase, whose return probably has at least a little bit to do with Dan Harmon being ousted as showrunner, in the wake of the ugly feud between the two.

Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine are branching further and further out beyond "The Voice." Green is joining the Maroon 5 frontman and his fellow judge in the upcoming rags-to-riches musical underdog story "Can A Song Save Your Life?" Both are now auditioning contestants for the third season of "The Voice," set to premiere in September.

Ann Curry's butt imprint has barely faded from her "Today" co-host's chair beside Matt Lauer, but her successor is about to start making herself comfortable. TMZ claims that third-hour co-host Savannah Guthrie will not only be easing into Curry's position Friday morning, but is expected to be named Curry's permanent replacement.

In geekdom, this is sort of like closing out the Sundance Film Festival, headlining the Coachella main stage, or main-eventing Wrestlemania at Madison Square Garden. it's Hall H at the San Diego Convention Center during San Diego Comic Con....and July 14, it's taken over by Kevin Feige and some "special guests" who may have a thing or three to show and tell about the in-production "Iron Man 3."

Last week's episode of "True Blood" left us with a cliffhanger concerning Tara's fate. It wasn't much of a cliffhanger, as it's pretty clear what Pam was going to do based on her arc in that episode (namely, recalling what Eric taught her about the responsibilities of being a Maker). The preview clips for Sunday's episode confirm that, and more.

For better or worse, Hollywood will never give up on giving things second chances. "The Amazing Spider-Man" debuts in under a week, hoping to undo a whole lot of damage done by "Spider-Man 3." In and of itself, "The Dark Knight Rises" will be the culmination of a massive, successful reboot effort. So why do some work, while others become pratfalls some studios just won't live down?

Give her this: she's at least remaining accountable. Kelly Osbourne doesn't deny she had an alcohol-fueled breakdown during a recent flight, but claims it was her brother's recent MS diagnosis that pushed her too far. It's not the first time she's had a drink since her 2009 rehab, but holds herself to honesty about it.

According to Us Weekly, all's well that's apparently starting again well for the two Bickering Bickersons of NBC's "The Voice." Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera had a dust-up during the final episodes of the second season over a contestant's song selection. But Us Weekly and MTV both report Levine claims the pair are fine as third-season auditions move forward.

"Arrow" is one of the fall's biggest new dramas, and it's appropriately premiering sandwiched between the final-season "Gossip Girl" debut and the third-season bow of "The Vampire Diaries." Between the combined WB/UPN eras and their combination into The CW, "Arrow" marks the third DC adaptation for the network(s), following "Smallville" and the failed "Birds of Prey."
