Playing make believe
Jenna Elfman's hippy-dippy act has had a hard time finding a home since "Dharma & Greg" ran its course. Her latest, "Imaginary Mary," may come the closest to playing to her strengths. She's a PR specialist who revives a make-believe character for support when a relationship with a new beau gets serious. The cartoon buddy wears out her welcome after about 31 seconds, but Elfman is plenty animated on her own.

The heat
Melissa McCarthy is barely in "Nobodies," but her presence looms large in her production's company's new sitcom about a group of comedy writers trying to climb the showbiz ladder after an ex-improv partner (you know who) makes it to the big time. The stars, McCarthy's real-life buddies, are charming goofballs, especially while they're toiling away at an animated series called "The Farteltons," but a little too stupid to be credible. McCarthy, who makes a cameo a few episodes in, might want to give the characters a few more IQ points in the second season, which has already been guaranteed.

By George!
For another look at the not so melodic side of La La Land, check out the Season 2 premiere of "Lopez," an underappreciated attempt by George Lopez to poke fun at his "has-been" status. Lopez once again shows he's a good sport by sending himself up as an emotionally distant, ego-driven comic. He's even more generous in letting relative newcomer Hayley Huntley get the best lines as his (justifiably) overwhelmed manager.
