Paul Scheer has his own show, "NTSF:SD:SUV," and it premieres tonight on Adult Swim at 12:15am. We talked to the man about how this show came about, how ridiculous the genre of "acronym" shows are, as well as his experiences at Adult Swim, the coolest network on the block these days.

Even though the broadast networks have very little to offer this time of year, we get plenty of comedy on Thursdays thanks to the likes of FX, Adult Swim, and Comedy Central - tonight's highlights are "Louie" and "NTSF:SD:SUV::", do you have a Summer comedy favorite? --- All this + news items + the TV Junkie Must-Watch Plan for tonight.

With a few (very few) notable exceptions, we're looking at a very pedestrian and predictable Emmys this year. The only thing shocking about the Emmys is how the Television Academy can ignore some of the best programs on TV. --- "The Green Room" and "Louie" are part of the TV Junkie Must-Watch Plan for tonight - check it out.

Conan O'Brien takes the honor of Guest Programmer at TCM tonight very seriously - his film picks are great and his tenure will be very funny. It all starts at 5pm on TCM. --- "Chelsea Lately" is the only late night show with a new episode tonight & it's a great one! --- HuffPo not telling the whole story about comedian (and Chelsea regular) Jo Koy.

Somehow the creators of Adult Swim's "Childrens' Hospital" (Thursdays at Midnight) managed to score the incredible Megan Mullally.
