What to Watch: Thursday

Parks and Recreation and The Office return, as do the Thursday smiles on our faces. (I will attempt to ignore the fact that Community and 30 Rock are missing)

1. The Office - Editor's Pick

9:00pm on NBC

The first episode of the final season and if you haven't been watching, this is why you should. There will be some missing faces (ex. Mindy Kaling), but two new young employees in the office are set to make a splash.

2. Parks and Recreation - Editor's Top Pick

9:30pm on NBC

Leslie goes to visit Ben and April in Washington D.C. And Leslie gets overwhelmed. Back in Pawnee, Ron Swanson throws a barbeque for the whole staff. Can. Not. Wait.

3. Saturday Night Live

8:00pm on NBC

Just in time for the November election, SNL Weekend Update comes to Thursday nights for a full 30 minutes. I think we can expect some Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and Barack Obama hilarity to ensue.

4. Glee

9:00pm on FOX

A whole lot of Britney tonight as following The X-Factor staring Britney, we have the Glee Britney 2.0 episode. Her odd facial expressions do make The X Factor slightly more watchable, but two hours of her might be too much. Oh, and doesn't help that Glee isn't so great anymore now that it is Glee: The College Years.

5. Wilfred

10:00pm on FX – Season Finale

Wilfred and Ryan are confroted by shocking questions about life and love. Could one of them be why do you have a talking dog as a best friend?

6. Louie

10:30pm on FX

The conclusion to Late Show…Part 3…that is all.

No more Rookie Blue Thursdays, but Parks and Rec more than makes up for that.

Are the descriptions of "Editor's Pick" and "Editor's Top Pick" supposed to be a snub at the Office? I never paid attention to whether there were multiple editor's picks. If it were up to me I wouldn't even bother with the Office. The show is overdone.

@Lurkero: Not meant to be a dig. I sometimes do multiple picks if I am passionate about watching more than one thing. I love Parks and Rec, so that is the top - but I still have an attachment to The Office - especially since it is the last season, but I do agree it isn't as great as it once was.

@staceywi: Who's even on the Office anymore? My series finale was when Pam and Jim got married and decided not to waste my time with the rotting corpse that was the office then.

P+R! YAY!

The Office... Aright I guess.
