· As tax season peaks nationwide, Fox is filing a few extensions to the cast of its upcoming comedy pilot, Tax Man. The latest addition to the workplace comedy, set in a Fresno IRS office, is Martin Short. The actor, fresh off an arc on FX's Damages, will play the loud jerk supervisor -- the Jack Donaghy or Michael Scott of the tax world -- and will be joined by David Krumholtz and Judy Greer. [THR]

CBS figures out how to say Sh*t My Dad Says, the Salahis return to a nightmare near you, and more TV Bites after the jump.
