I am – Hercules!!

A little quick plugging for three of my favorite Thursday-night stories, all of which are new because of this “sweeps” thing everybody keeps talking about.

1) “The Office” continues the saga of Phyllis’ nuptials. Note that “Lost” creator J.J. Abrams and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” creator Joss Whedon are supposed to have directed February episodes, and there are only three Thursdays left in February. 8:30 p.m. Thursday. NBC.

2) “The OC” is down to its last three episodes ever. If I’m not mistaken, tonight brings a big earthquake, next Thursday brings the earthquake’s aftermath, and the Thursday after that – set six months later - brings maybe the lawful joining of comic-book geek Seth Cohen and comely girlfriend Summer Roberts? 9 p.m. Thursday. Fox.

3) Comedy Central is airing its hilarious second episode of “The Sarah Silverman Program,” which guest stars Zach Galifianakis as a troubled homeless man. This is the one with the queefing. This is the best live-action sitcom transmitting new episodes right now, I shit you not. 10:30 p.m. Thursday. Comedy Central.

Season Sets Under $20!!
