Tonight: There's some finales tonight in primetime ("Bones", "Fringe") that happen during NBC's two-hours-of-comedy-power.

If you don't watch any of the above programs, tell us what you watch on Thursday nights. Note the premieres of Demetri Martin and Sarah Silverman's shows on Comedy Central starting at 10pm.
