Glee 9 p.m., Channel 25

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit 9 p.m., Channel 7
I like the way “L&O: SVU’’ panders for best-guest Emmy nominations! Almost every year, the show gets a few nods, as actors and actresses such as Leslie Caron, Robin Williams, and Cynthia Nixon show up and get their crazy on. Tonight is Eric McCormack’s chance (above), as the CEO of a dating site who gets questioned when a client turns up dead.
