On TV Tonight, Thursday, 11/21/13: The Big Bang Theory, Parenthood and More

The Big Bang Theory – 8pm CBS
The Big Bang Theory is doing Thanksgiving this season. I know it’s not Christmas yet, but that has to qualify as a TV miracle, right? Imagine the level of shenanigans we’re in for…and maybe some angst too since the ep is called “The Thanksgiving Decoupling.” Anyone feel like taking a guess on which couple will call it quits? Ah, never mind, it has to be Leonard and Penny, they haven’t broken up yet this season and that’s more traditional than carving the turkey.

Ground Floor – 10pm TBS
I’ll admit it; I was skeptical about Ground Floor going in. I love Bill Lawrence as much as the next sitcom-addicted fangirl, but The Office just ended so I wasn’t wild about the idea of heading into another cubicle style environment. Then I actually watched it and it is ridiculously charming. Granted 99% of that charm comes from John C. McGinley, but the man can’t help that he’s dryly hilarious charisma on a stick.

Parenthood – 10pm NBC
Even a diehard Parenthood fan like myself has to admit the series has been underwhelming this year. I mean, I’ve only cried twice so far this season, but tonight is election night. That means either this Kristina runs for mayor nonsense will end or Parenthood will become Scandal: Berkeley Edition. Either way, you’re going to want to see this craziness go down. Also, there’s going to be some movement on the Sarah/Hank front. (Why aren’t they back together yet, show?)
