What's on: Thursday

OK. I should be leading with something else, but honestly STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP (NBC/10 p.m.) wraps up its first and only season tonight after being kicked in the teeth a few times by the network. This was the 2006/07 season's best new show and could be the best written show on TV right now (not that it's actually on TV at this point, but whatever). It's the fourth part in a well done story arc. Aaron Sorkin, please come back soon.

USA comes out firing with a new show tonight -- BURN NOTICE (10 p.m.) is about a spy bounced from the CIA and left with nothing... he takes up private investigating... I think. It's not really clear. That follows the finale of THE STARTER WIFE (9 p.m.), which I never had the energy to pick up.

Oh, and I can't forget HEY PAULA (Bravo/10 p.m.) ... a new reality series about American Idol judge and ex-pop star Paula Abdul. The first two of seven episodes are on tonight. This should play well to the Girls Next Door crowd...

Also new: Pirate Master on CBS; 5th Grader on Fox; TNA Impact on Spike; the NBA draft on ESPN.
