Thursday night is traditionally the busiest night of the week. Here’s what’s on the slate for this season.
7:00
The Big Bang Theory – Entering its 7th season, the show’s ratings continue to grow. Everyone is in a relationship now, so we’ll see how the show handles that.
Once Upon A Time In Wonderland – Originally conceived as a mini-series to air while Once Upon A Time was in hiatus, ABC execs were so enamored with this spinoff show that they moved it to the fall and gave it its own timeslot. Will 2 hours of weekly fairy tales prove to be too much? Only time will tell.
8:00
The Crazy Ones – Robin Williams returns to television for the first time since Mork & Mindy, which is not something I would ordinarily be interested in. Add in David E. Kelley, who has been more miss than hit lately, and this would likely get a pass from me. However, the inclusion of one Sarah Michelle Gellar has guaranteed that I will at least check it out.
Grey’s Anatomy – Back for a 10th season, the show was revitalized a bit last season with the addition of a new group of interns. Hopefully they can keep it up this year.
9:00
Elementary – The modern day, living in America story of Sherlock Holmes was decent enough last season. I’ll continue to watch until they give me a reason not to.
Parenthood – A strong season brings Parenthood back for a fifth season, and a move to the once-cherished anchor spot on Thursday night for NBC. Now that they’ve been given a full season pickup, we’ll see how the show does without the constant threat of cancellation hanging over them.
