For Friday, March 22nd 2013 LA TV Insider Examiner recommends:

Last Man Standing (ABC, 8 p.m.) – "College Girl" – Jonathan Taylor Thomas makes a special guest star appearance when he reunites with Tim Allen, his dad from Home Improvement. When the less-than-studious Mandy (Molly Ephraim) gets accepted to not one but two colleges, Kristin (Amanda Fuller) realizes it's time to reevaluate where she is in her life. While out on a special date with Ryan (Jordan Masterson), she is pleasantly surprised to see Jon (Thomas), a former co-worker from the diner where she still works, who is now the successful owner of a hip, upscale restaurant. Meanwhile, Mike (Allen) and Vanessa (Nancy Travis) wonder if Mandy's college choice, a party school in California, is right for her; and Eve (Kaitlyn Dever) gets help with her Junior ROTC competition from neighbor Chuck Larabee (Jonathan Adams).

Cult (The CW, 9 p.m.) – “The Kiss” – Jeff (Matt Davis) receives news that one of Nate’s friends might be planning something at an upcoming “Cult” fan costume party, so Jeff and Skye (Jessica Lucas) attend the party dressed as Billy and Kelly. At the party, Skye’s drink is spiked with a hallucinogenic drug similar to a drug used on the television show “Cult.” Sakelik (guest star Aisha Hinds) warns Jeff that he might be in over his head. Also, at the party, Roger (Robert Knepper) meets mysterious stranger named Stuart (guest star Jeffrey Pierce). Meanwhile, on the television show, Kelly (Alona Tal) marries Billy (Robert Knepper) in a flashback scene.

Touch (FOX, 9 p.m.) – “Reunions” – Martin (Kiefer Sutherland) pressures Calvin (Lukas Haas) to assist in the search and explain what Aster Corporation wants with Amelia, but Jake’s (David Mazouz) brain scan helps Calvin in the search to communicate with his own brother and inadvertently actually leads to the location of Amelia, starting a mission to a secret facility in the desert.

Grimm (NBC, 9 p.m.) – “Mr. Sand Man” – When a mysterious case of sudden blindness causes a woman’s death, Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) come across a disturbing Wesen that feeds off its victim’s tears. Meanwhile, Adalind (Claire Coffee) contemplates the significance of her new situation, while Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) continues to work with Rosalee (Bree Turner) in an effort to fix her memory.

Spartacus: War of the Damned (STARZ, 9 p.m.) – "Separate Paths" – Spartacus (Liam McIntyre) and his rebels come to a crossroads in their quest, while a relentless Crassius (Simon Merrells) doggedly drives his men in pursuit of Spartacus and his forces. Conflict, needless to say, intensifies.
