Holy cow, we’ve got a lot of shows on Thursdays.  Here we go… 

My Name Is Earl - 8/7c - NBC

30 Rock - 8:30/7:30c - NBC

The Office - 9/8c - NBC

Scrubs - 9:30/8:30c - NBC

This could be the perfect comedy block.  Yell and scream all you want about CBS’s Monday night lineup, but this is where it’s at.  I really feel like 30 Rock and Officeare the two strongest comedies on television, and serve as a perfect tentpole for the almost equally great Earl and Scrubs.

Grey’s Anatomy - 9/8c - ABC

I know there are several TV snobs out there who think it’s beneath them to watch Grey’s Anatomy.  I’m not one of them.  It’s almost always the most consistently solid drama around, though, admittedly, last season faltered a bit here and there.  However, the producers know that a lot of fans were upset, and are taking steps to “fix” the show.

Big Shots - 10/9c - ABC

This was another pilot that I was really interested in checking out, but for some reason, when I searched for “Big Shots” online, I got a lot of…inappropriate…results.  There hasn’t been just a heck of a lot of news about this one, so the most I can really say is that it’s essentially a man’s Desperate Housewives.  Color me interested.

ER - 10/9c - NBC

Man, oh man…this show has been on for 14 years.  That’s crazy.  While it may have lost some of the flair it had back in its heyday, it still presents some very compelling drama.  There are many reports that this will be the last season, so prepare yourself for several “Tonight…on a very special ER” moments.
