This week on TV: Return to Smoot High, Corporations, and Drunken History

It's a big week for some great returning sitcoms on both truTV and Comedy Central. It seems like a long time, in fact it's been over a year since we last returned to Smoot High School and hung out with a crew of bad teachers that make up the cast of Those Who Can't, a sitcom brainchild from The Grawlix comedy trio (Adam Cayton-Holland, Ben Roy, Andrew Orvedahl) that additionally features a ton of comedians such as Rory Scovel, Patton Oswalt, Rhea Butcher, the Sklar Brothers, and Susie Essman. Tune in Monday night on truTV.

Then, on Tuesday evening season 2 of the brutally funny workplace comedy Corporate returns to Comedy Central. In a nutshell, the show tries to find the humor in your dead end job, will you climb the company ladder or quit its oppressive regime first. Corporate was created by comedians Jake Wiseman and Matt Ingebretson and this season you'll also catch Sasheer Zamata, Jay Larson, Baron Vaughn, and Aparna Nancherla roaming around the cubicles.

Then, right after the premiere of Corporate Derek Water's hilarious show, Drunk History comes back for a 6th season of alcohol-induced tales from our history books. Social Studies class was never this interesting, or intoxicated.
