What to watch: Thursday

Lots to keep you busy tonight. Grey's Anatomy repeats tomorrow night, so wait until then for that one...

SCRUBS (NBC/9 p.m.): The guys behind Broadway hit Avenue Q have some new puppets: The Scrubs. It's a musical episode that star Zach Braff called on his MySpace.com blog "the greatest half-hour of TV you'll see this year." It looks like they'll back that up; Braff and co-star Donald Faison previewed one tune, "Guy Love," on Jimmy Kimmel last night.

THE COLBERT REPORT (COMEDY/11:30 p.m.): As the promos have said, Colbert interviews Papa Bear! Everyone's favorite "news" man Bill O'Reilly visits my favorite fake "news" man Stephen Colbert (who basically stole O'Reilly's gig for the sake of comedy and all mankind). Colbert's also on O'Reilly's show at 8 p.m. on FOX "News." Colbert repeats throughout Friday and O'Reilly will repeat at 11 p.m.

CSI (CBS/9 p.m.): Grissom's gone (for now) and Sara's sure to be irked by it. Liev Schreiber joins the cast to fill the void (his first TV appearance). Let's just hope that model doesn't sit in the box on Grissom's desk for a whole month's worth of episodes...

Guest of the night:
Other than Colbert/O'Reilly? That's right. Carson Daly has probably the greatest guitarist alive, Warren Haynes, performing tonight. Last Call is on late (NBC/1:35 a.m.), so set the DVR if you've got to get up early.

EDIT (4:30 p.m.)
Almost forgot... also new tonight: Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy and Men in Trees on ABC; CBS has a new Shark; CW's got Smallville and Supernatural; FOX's and 'Til Death, The War at Home and The O.C. are new; so are all the NBC Thursday night comedies.
