A couple months ago, we rejoiced at Harold Ramis' (Groundhog Day) guest-director turn on the wonderful Xmas ep. Next month, the show will be taken over by culture Gods Joss Whedon (Buffy, Toy Story, upcoming Wonder Woman), and J.J. Abrams (Alias, Lost, MI:3). No air dates have been set, but Entertainment Weekly confirmed they will air in late Feb for sweeps, and the Whedon-helmed ep has been …
