Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Thursday, August 16. All times are Eastern.
TOP PICK
NTSF: SD: SUV:: (Cartoon Network, 12:15 a.m.): Enough of you demanded regular coverage of the Childrens Hospital companion series with the complicated acronym for a title that we decided to add it to the regular Thursday-night rotation. Kevin McFarland travels to the mean, absurdist streets of San Diego to help Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, Kate Mulgrew, and others send up camera-shaking, pun-slinging police procedurals.
REGULAR COVERAGE
Project Runway (Lifetime, 9 p.m.): Marie Claire editor Joanna Coles filled in for Tim Gunn on Project Runway All Stars, and for her troubles, she’s earned a spot on the judge’s dais tonight. Margaret Eby can’t imagine a greater honor.
Burn Notice (USA, 9 p.m.): Agents Bailey and Manaro (John Ales and Brendan O’Malley) return to muck things up for Michael and crew. Scott Von Doviak hopes they do so with actual muck.
Wilfred (FX, 10 p.m.): Ryan breaks his mom out of a group home. Kenny Herzog saw the whole thing go down, but he swears he won’t tell a soul.
Suits (USA, 10 p.m.): The fate of Pearson Hardman depends on the whims of a single person and their decisive vote. Carrie Raisler wonders what she’d do with such power—probably leverage herself an in-ground pool with golden water slide.
Louie (FX, 10:30 p.m.): Louie returns to the comic’s poker table last seen in “Poker/Divorce”—and promptly pukes all over it. If Nathan Rabin had to spend that much time with Nick DiPaolo, he’d have an upset stomach, too.
