Thursday Night Power Rankings

Thursday night is the busiest night on television. Wednesday is the second best nght Why? Why don't they move a couple shows to Monday or Tuesday? Hell, Big Bang Theory was on Mondays and they moved it to Thursdays. What's the point? Leave it on the baron wasteland that is Monday.

Now every Thursday we're forced to play the watch live versus DVR game. And on top of that, there are sports on. If you're recording two shows on my DVR, you can't watch a third channel. If there's a sporting event, I'm screwed. Tonight there's an NBA double-header on TNT. In a few weeks,

Because of the over-stuffing of Thursday nights I haven't even been able to give a fair hate-shake to Shit My Dad Says. I really would like to since the creator/writer guys have been on the FilmDrunk frotcast a couple times now. I feel like I should at least see an episode or two. I've seen multiple episodes of Outsourced and I know how fucking awful that show is. I can't even speak to Shit My Dad Says' awfulness. I barely feel comfortable talking about how bad it is.

Jersey Shore finished up last week and that helped. However, Bully Beatdown returns tonight. I love Bully Beatdown. Luckily, its on at 11.

Enough about the DVR conflicts, here's this week's Thursday rankings...

10. Outsourced

9. Shit My Dad Says

8. Read a book.

7. Bully Beatdown

6. Big Bang Theory

5. The Office

4. Always Sunny

3. 30 Rock

2. The League

1. Community

You Should Watch This!

Every day around lunchtime I'm going to highlight some of the evening's best and worst programming. I'll let you know what you should watch, DVR and watch if you just need background noise.

It seems like there is way too much to watch on Thursdays so I'm just going to put the most important shows in order.

1. Community - NBC - 8E

The brilliance of the show is that Abed befriend a pregnant woman and deliver a baby and its all in the background.

2. 30 Rock - NBC - 8:30E

30 Rock opened this season strong after a mediocre 4th season. Tonight's episode is live from Studio 8H. Live network television!? Well this will never work! Let's hope Tracey Jor - Mor - er... Either one goes off the rails.

3. The League - FX - 10:30E

I hope that Rafi becomes a pop-in/pop-out character. Same for Dirty Randy.

4. Jersey Shore

I do not like Creepy Sitch. Not one bit.

5. Always Sunny

The Gang hasn't had the comeback year that 30 Rock has, that's for sure.

6. The Office

Last week was pretty good. Not third season good, but good. Despite the fact that I haven't watched religiously over the last season, I'm still kind of invested in these characters. And I'm a big fan of Ellie Kemper who was also in Mystery Team.

7. Big Bang Theory

I really wish they had left this on Monday. I haven't seen a single episode this year because its on opposite Community and I'm still conditioned to watch BBT on Mondays at 9:30.

Only watch it ironically on DVR late Friday night when you're shitfaced to make fun of with friends - Outsourced and Shit My Dad Says - I'm not going to tell you when either of these shows are one because I don't endorse either seriously. However, they're fairly well-known new shows that got awful reviews. Say what you will about Better With You, at least ABC didn't promote it.
