Queerview television guide: October 15

Despite not having any regular gay characters, 30 Rock has been frequently gay-inclusive with its gay bombs, bicurious shoes, lookalike telenovela stars and Devin Banks. As the Emmy-winning comedy returns for its fourth season tonight, we've got the return of Devin and a role for Cheyenne Jackson coming up.

And, tonight, the remaining Project Runway designers have to show their ability to design for a pop diva (it's not Cher but it's close -- watch out for SPOILERS below if you want to be surprised).

Grey's Anatomy (ABC) 9:00 PM EDT
As the merger threatens one resident's job, gay-fave JP Pitoc guest stars -- though it sounds like he will be part of a patient-of-the-week story and not one of the unwelcome, new additions to the hospital.

30 Rock (NBC) 9:30 PM EDT
While tonight's season premiere doesn't have anything particularly gay, it does visit 30 Rock's meta sensibility as Liz Lemon has to deal with Jack's ridiculous attempts at cutting costs. Will Tina Fey give frustrated Southland fans catharsis with jokes at NBC/Sheinhardt's expense?

"And the losing design will be worn by Jenna Maroney."

Project Runway (Lifetime) 10:00 PM EDT
I hope the judges got their distaste for "Half-Breed" costumes out of their systems since this week Bob Mackie is a guest-judge as the remaining designers try to create for gay-fave pop diva Christina Aguilera.

The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (CBS) 12:30 AM EDT
Christian Siriano takes his book promotion tour to chat with Craig Ferguson tonight. Let's see if Craig turns out to also be a Project Runway fanboy.
