NBC Thursday Night Comedies (NBC, 8-10 p.m.) — Tonight is the last we’ll see of the Thursday night shows on NBC until January. Will Liz Lemon go on a honeymooon? Will Angela hire someone else to outright assassinate Oscar? Will Tammy 2 continue to torture Ron Swanson? TUNE IN TONIGHT. I actually have no idea what’s happening on Up All Night, however: I purged it, along with a few other shows that I could sense would never, ever improve, like Go On and Nashville. Feels good to purge.
Last Resort (ABC, 8 p.m.) — I figured that once the cancellation was announced, Last Resort’s remaining viewers finally let it go, but damnit: I’m sticking it out. I wanna see Andre Braugher blow up the planet on his way out.
Scandal (ABC, 10 p.m.) — SHUT UP. It’s a good show. Josh Malina! Plus, Kerry Washington will make you feel tingly in your funny places.
NFL Thursday Night Football: Oakland Raiders vs. Denver Broncos — The fantasy football playoffs start this week for most people, and if you have anyone on the Raiders, I’m very sorry. Also, how did you make it to the playoffs?
It’s Always Sunny/The League (FX, 10-11:30) — In previous years, I would’ve been thrilled to see back-to-back episodes of The League, but this season, I don’t know. Let’s hope for a Raffi appearance, and at the very least, two episodes ought to give me enough material for tomorrow’s 15 Best Lines post.
LATE NIGHT LISTINGS: Bill Murray is on Letterman. Let me repeat that in call caps. BILL MURRAY IS ON LETTERMAN. The much lesser Bill, Bill O’Reilly, will be on Leno; Denis Leary is on Ferguson; Tom Selleck is on Jimmy Fallon for some reason; and Jon Stewart has Governor Chris Christie while The Colbert Report will play host to Andy Serkis.

Carson Palmer’s been a pretty decent fantasy QB this year.
He’s my QB and I’m in first in my league.
“Tonight is the last we’ll see of the Thursday night shows on NBC until January.” WHAAT??
Colbert had Andy Serkis last night. I assume that means Peter Jackson will be on tonight.
Wait, there are 2 new episodes of The League tonight? To the remote DVR manager I go!
DVR that ass!
Nadine Velasquez or stunt ass?
I actually missed my fantasy playoffs because I failed to start an Oakland Raider.
Aww, I still like Goon. Seann William Scott, despite the extra N, was quite lovable.
I of course will not be viewing Parks and Rec mid-season finale as my local NBC affiliate has instead decided to show a women’s college basketball game featuring a Div 1AA school. (que Raging Goliath’s voice from Borderlands 2) I HATE EEEVVERRYYYTHINGGG!!!!!!
My local affliate is airing a holiday special in place of 30 Rock. they air things like this like 6 times a year and usually it’s Community that gets the shaft. this annoys me just as much
Sounds like the rancid KSDK in St. Louis. They like to show some lame “here’s where you can see Christmas lights!” special every December in the Thursday 7pm slot. Then some worthless Cardinals or other local show another half a dozen times a year so they don’t have to share ad revenue with the network. Normally I applaud screwing over NBC, but no one wins this way. Instead there is only pain….and really crappy locally produced TV.
You nailed it.
Absolutely. KSDK is the worst. Well, local programming/ads are the worst. I saw that last night and wrote them an angry email that they’ll probably read at their company Christmas party. I did tell them that I would only watch NBC shows on Hulu Plus from now on, though. Which is a lie.
I’ve had Denarius Moore at one of the WR positions and ended up with the best record in my league. Of course, the rest of my team throughout the season typically consisted of studs like Andrew Luck, BJGE, Stevan Ridley, Stephen Jackson, Calvin Johnson, Rob Gronkowski, Texans D/ST….so Moore was my team’s weak link, essentially.
Stephen Jackson sucked this year, until I traded him away, then he started playing decent.
Yeah he spent a lot of the time riding the pine on my team, but I hung onto him and I’ve been enjoying his recent improved performance.
We should all post our fantasy football team lineups
My team is not worth posting anywhere.
My team should be on milk cartons. Or maybe on a sex offender poster for the way they’ve been abusing me all season.
I’m in a 20-team league, so I’ve got a lot of jobbers on my team, many of whom haven’t been there from the beginning, but my mainstays are Philip Rivers, Vincent Jackson, Adrian Peterson, Jason Witten, the Chicago defense, Roman Harper, and David Harris. Which sounds like a pretty solid lineup, but there are 11 more starting positions filled week-to-week by the likes of Devery Henderson and Jackie Battle. And yet I still managed to win my division and clinch the #3 playoff seed. Pretty sure this weekend’s gonna be my last, though.
Methinks JJ missed the sarcasm
I called that motherfucker’s bluff.
Just kidding, I did miss the sarcasm. I thought it was kinda weird that he didn’t post his first.
Marcel Reese, while also sounding like a peanut butter treat, was a waiver wire pick up of the year the past few weeks. Way to go Dustin, can’t you do ANYTHING right? (jk bro, jk)
I can see not watching Up All Night, but I’ve been finding Go On steadily improving as the season has been going along.
Cable company description of the second episode of The League tonight says that Raffi is called in to settle a dispute in the league, so hopefully that will be true
I was going to bail on Last Resort once I heard it was cancelled. However, once I heard they rewrote the ending to give it closure and make it work as a 13 episode miniseries, I jumped back on board. Same for 666 Park Avenue…..
Rewrote it so Braugher could blow up the planet!
That would be so great. Giant dark F-you to weird out network watchers.
Which is gonna make me tune into the finale, but I reckon I’m skipping the rest of the season until then. On the other hand, if NBC Thursdays are going away, I guess I’ll have nothing better to watch at 7 o’clock anymore. Maybe I’ll get back into it.
At any rate, will you call our attention to the finale when it airs, Dustin?
Last NBC Thursday Night First Runs ever, amirite? #Mayan2012
Someone had to do it.
According to my onscreen guide, Rafi is in the second episode!!!
You watch The League, but don’t play fantasy football. Do you also drink non-alcoholic beer and decaffeinated coffee?
Did Dustin say he doesn’t play fantasy football? If you mean the “for most people” part, I think that just meant that some people’s playoffs begin next week (4-team brackets or 17-week schedules).
Wow, The League sucked tonight.
Why isn’t Raffi a main character on The League? They made Jennie one, and he’s the best character on the show by a WIDE margin.
Also, I like Nashville. Kind of a lot…
so did you purge The League as well? Cause that peaked in season 2 and its been downhill ever since. Raffi episodes excluded.
