TV Shows on Thursday


THURSDAY
So much stuff! Your DVR will be thanking Father Time when Friday rolls around, because Thursday is going to make it sore. The night is especially strong in the comedy arena with NBC's laughing block plus CBS's The Big Bang Theory, and FX's Archer and It's Always Sunny... comedy. Just remember to save a few of those laughs in a bottle to re-open on Tuesday. Tuesdays are the worst!
Thursdays 8-9pm
8PM - 9PM 
THE CW
The Vampire Diaries
Season 3 premieres 9/15 at 8pm
Ian Somerhalder takes his shirt off all vampire-like in this supernatural drama that's set in a town with a really relaxed attitude toward frequent murder. Then our own Price Peterson gives you the play-by-play with weekly photographic recaps.
ABC
Charlie's Angels
NEW! Series premiere airs 9/22 at 8pm

NEW! Series premiere airs 9/29 at 8:30pm
