Matt's Help guide to Thursday TV: A Halloween Classic, Beavis & Butt-mind Return and much more!
Beavis and Butt-Mind, Beavis And also the Halloween countdown continues ...Having a genuine classic at the forefront, because the patient and faithful Linus once more declares It is the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (ABC, 8/7c), as he's been doing since the Charles Schulz animated special opened in 1966 (company, I had been the audience in those days). As Lucy runs afoul of dog bacteria, Charlie Brown collects rocks in the trick-or-treat sack, and Snoopy rides the Sopwith Camel doghouse of his imagination into The First World War fight, we are able to appreciate how several things never get old. (To complete the hour, ABC includes the less memorable but relatively timely You are Not Chosen, Charlie Brown, using the indefatigable Linus running for class leader.)Also not seeming to possess aged - or matured - each day given that they left MTV's regular rotation 14 years back, Mike Judge's chuckling metalhead idiots Beavis & Butt-mind have returned (10/9c) with new exploits and fresh pop-cultural targets to mock, including MTV reality swill like Jersey Shoreline and teen products such as the Twilight phenom. It's yoked towards the instantly forgettable new toon Good Vibes (10:30/9:30c), a far more traditionally crass buddy comedy in regards to a Jersey whale-out-of-water (voiced by Book of Mormon star Josh Gad) who moves towards the California beach together with his buxom mother (Debi Mazar), the origin in excess of a couple of from the onslaught of boob jokes that may leave even B&B bored.Want more fall TV news?

The 2010 Halloween experiment is really a more sensible but still stylized affair, using the group taking turns telling their version of the frightening story, as Britta attempts to intuit which of her buddies might have an "extreme personality disorder." (Why visit one?) Especially amusing are Annie's remarkably sadistic Hammer horror parody and Shirley's warped vision from the Rapture.Parks and Entertainment (8:30/7:30c) develops its episode around a raucous Trick or treat located by Andy and April, with uptight housemate Ben none too very happy to function as the last to understand. (You'd think he'd be just nerdy enough to go into the groove, but alas, no Batman suit now.) ... The festivities are limited to work (9/8c) place of work as Erin attempts to please both masters in planning Dunder Mifflin's party: the awkward new boss Andy and also the ever-inscrutable Boss Robert California, who can't help playing mind games with everybody, even leading to themself at some point to question, "What am I as much as?Inch If only I understood, and If only it were more amusing.Unavailable for review, but prone to crush your competition within the rankings, CBS' The Large Bang Theory (8/7c) finds Sheldon attempting to put a Halloween scare in the geek pals. Do you know the odds which will backfire?Legitimate supernatural frights, the CW combo from the Vampire Journals (8/7c) and also the Secret Circle (9/8c) are in least towards the (haunted) manor born. On Vampire, ghosts take center stage on Illumination Evening, as Elena asks Jeremy to make use of his newly found gifts like a medium to assist her achieve to the possessed Ripper-Stefan, and Damon consults Bonnie after tangling with another unhappy spirit. The derivative Circle borrows in the Journals playbook (what exactly else is totally new) by getting its witchy coven throw a Trick or treat where, as you'd expect, uninvited visitors bring danger.It's finally Fashion Week finale time on Lifetime's Project Runway (9/8c), because the final four designers - nobody was cut in last week's cop-out - reveal their collections for just one last critique in the idol judges (including designer L'Wren Scott as guest judge), and fans pray the end result is not as upsetting as last season's inexplicable Gretchen-over-Mondo win. I am rooting for Viktor. ... The confetti it's still flying as Lifetime wastes virtually no time in starting the rather flimsy sounding spin-off Project Accessory (10:30/9:30c), which is about the styling, as participants transform a number of fundamental clothes - within the premiere, a whitened T-shirt and jeans - by selecting baubles, buckles, bags and try to the best footwear. Within the opening challenge, the designers must fashion their add-ons from materials present in a storage unit. Molly Sim cards hosts, with idol judges including designer Kenneth Cole, InStyle editor Ariel Foxman, and tonight's guest judge, Debra Playing.What exactly else is on? ... Postponed by bad weather Wednesday evening, the sixth (and perhaps final) game around the globe Series from St. Louis is scheduled on Fox (7:30/ET), using the Rangers up 3 games towards the Cardinals' 2. ... Guest-star alert, as E.T.'s grown-up Henry Thomas seems on CBS' The Mentalist (10/9c) as Lisbon's more youthful brother, a fugitive hunter. ... Another familiar TV face, Paige Turco (The Company), may be the target-du-jour on CBS' Person of great interest (9/8c), like a cunning fixer who captures Reese's fancy. Hey, whether it cheers him up a little. ... NBC systems up its extended "strip" of Prime Suspect with a brand new episode (10/9c) by which Jane seeks the killer of the lady found killed around the block, while finding time for you to mark an essential anniversary together with her father.Sign up for TV Guide Magazine now!
