What to watch: Thursday

In an attempt to get what I hope is a long-lived, discussion-powered, entertaining forum off the ground, I'll dispense with the introductions and get right into the opinion.

Please note: This blog will have news also, but I'll make sure you know the difference. Feel free to comment frequently and call me out on anything you may consider "silly talk." I won't pretend to have seen every show ever -- far from it. And, oh yeah, tell your friends.

SCRUBS (NBC/9 p.m.): There's no better-written or better-performed comedy on the tube right now. Tonight's episode focuses on the effect Elliot's new private-practice salary has on roomie JD. Don't ignore the rest of NBC's rejuvenated Thursday night lineup either.

SMALLVILLE (CW/8 p.m.): With the Green Arrow's appearance and the impending formation of the CW's version of the Justice League, the show is getting an upgrade from geek gold to geek platinum.

GREY'S ANATOMY (ABC/9 p.m.): The show that's cornered the market on prime-time drama remains interesting long after most people probably expected. Tonight, after meeting her father's new family in the last episode, Meredith gets face-to-face with him in the first of a two-parter. George's dad is out of one surgery and into another. And, obviously, you can bank on some romance that's steamy or awkward (or both).

Guest of the night:
LAST CALL with CARSON DALY (NBC/1:35 a.m.): Carson has Daily Show correspondent Rob Corddry... but it's Carson Daly, so you may just be better off watching The Daily Show.

Rerun of the night:
CSI (CBS/9 p.m.): Ignore the fact that Kevin Federline is the marquee guest star in this episode (likely the strongest of the current season).
