TV Junkie: Thursday

This story is free to read because readers choose to support LAist. If you find value in independent local reporting, make a donation to power our newsroom today.

So here we are on Thursday again and 9:00 p.m. ABC is the only logical choice -- Lost. With some exceptions for viewing options during late-night, like celebrity rehab with Dr. Drew and the Late-Late Show with Craig Ferguson (all other late-night options are reruns), we're left with only one choice. The fact that Lost is the only show during prime time worth watching on Thhursday nights while there are literally hundreds of other channels for digital cabel subscribers, is less of a triumph and more of a sad fact. While this is probably one of the best shows on television, if you're not a fan, you're going to have your TV on just for background noise or it will just be dark.

9:00pm Lost ABC -- It's all about Juliet and stopping the island's new visitors.

12:35 a.m. Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson -- Wanda Sykes, Saffron Burrows and musical guests Grizzly Bear.

10:30pm LA Ink TLC -- Kat returns after a health scare.

10:30pm Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares BBC -- Ramsay revisits a restaurant in Spain one year later. Yeah, it's probably a mess once again.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
