But, Wait! What's On TV Tonight? Thurs., Oct. 9th: Just How Bad is BAD JUDGE?

In today's "But, Wait! What's On TV Tonight?" picks, we attempt to determine when is "Bad" bad, and when is "Bad" good? Unfortunately for the erstwhile Dr. Addison Montgomery, it looks like her new sitcom is leaning more towards the former than the latter. We also have a pretty diverse selection of picks in addition, including a supernatural thriller, a sweet love story, and a rip out your heart drama. What more could you ask for? So, what will you be watching tonight?

Every day, BWW TV World will bring you a handful of picks from across the TV landscape. So, if you have nothing to do each night, check in with us, and we will tell you the best ways to spend your primetime hours.

For all of the latest goings on in the world of pop culture, check out BUT, WAIT! WHAT? from Chief TV Critic Matt Tamanini here.

Thursday, October 9th:

All times are Eastern

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES | 8:00-9:00pm | The CW
By: Erin Resnick | @enr702

Alaric struggles to grant Elena her request while Matt deals with Jeremy in Mystic Falls. Caroline and Enzo set out on a journey to uncover clues as to help save Damon and Bonnie but come across Stefan instead. Damon and Bonnie slowly piece together what happened to them and how to save themselves.

BAD JUDGE | 9:00-9:30pm | NBC
By: Matt Tamanini | @BWWMatt

I usually don't get into sitcoms, for whatever reason I generally need that continuous storyline to keep me coming back each week (maybe that's because I grew up watching ALL MY CHILDREN with my mom). So, it takes something unique to get me interested, the original, serialized premise of HIMYM, the groundbreaking mockumentary style of THE OFFICE, and just maybe, the utter awfulness of BAD JUDGE. The reports on this show is that it is absolutely awful, and while I tend not to be much of a train wreck rubber-necker, after she was so wickedly bad (in a good way) on FARGO, I feel like I owe it to Kate Walsh to give this one a try.

A to Z | 9:30-10:00pm | NBC
By: Dylan Siegman | @Dsiggy15

I completely fell in love with Cristin Millioti after seeing her in ONCE on Broadway, and again after her short stint on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, so it's only right that I watch her new show. The premiere was pretty interesting, albeit a little scattered and the premise of cataloging the relationship between Milioti and co-star Ben Feldman is a refreshing idea. Not to mention, the supporting characters are pretty wacky. I'm definitely interested to see what they do with this show.

PARENTHOOD | 10:00-11:00pm |NBC
By: Matt Smith | theatrefreak120 (Instagram) and Matt Tamanini | @BWWMatt

It's a nail-biting installment of PARENTHOOD this week, as Zeek heads into surgery and the entire family nervously awaits the results. Bring on the Kleenex! Peter Burg and company are pulling out all of the emotional big guns for the final system. I hope both me and my tearducts can make it until the end.
