Last night, FX’s The Americans (FX, Wednesdays, 10/9C) featured Noah Emmerich’s character, Stan Beeman in a way that we’ve not seen before. With his partner, Charlie Amador’s disappearance coming on the heels of the deaths of three FBI agents and a top scientist the week before, Stan had to make some hard decisions.

John Ratzenberger will forever be pompous-yet-lovable blowhard Cliff Clavin to Cheers fans – or Rex, the insecure tyrannosaurus of the Toy Story films and shorts to later generations. Last week, he began a recurring role on FX’s Legit (Thursdays, 10:30/9:30C), playing Walter, the father of Jim Jeffries’ roommates Steve and Billy – and took some time to talk to a group of journalists/bloggers about his work.
