Gay TV on a Thursday Night: Vampire Diaries, Grey's and Real Housewives

First things first: Let's see the football team from Glee get down with “Single Ladies” one more time.

Fabulous. Equally well-executed was Kurt's (Chris Colfer) moment of truth -- he came out to his macho-man father, played to a tee by Mike O'Malley! Talk about #yayGay.

But Thursday is here. A new night brings a new DVR-desirable lineup, and there are plenty of funny ladies and sexy vamps cavorting on the small screen tonight.

At 8 p.m. you could invest in the adorable Amy Poehler, as NBC has for the full hour, in two different vehicles. There's the Saturday Night Live Weekend Update special first, followed by a new episode of Parks and Recreation. More likely than not, your eyes will be otherwise occupied. Like millions of other new viewers, you will probably be glued to the CW's Vampire Diaries during the 8 o'clock hour. Bloodsucker Stefan tries to have it all when he goes out for the football team and goes for it with Elena. You just know devilish Damon, played by the scorching-hot Ian Somerhalder, is going to ruin their night.

At 9 p.m. you could get into the alien conspiracies on Fox's Fringe or see how Pam and Jim's wedding plans are progressing over on NBC's The Office. But if you left your heart in Seattle Grace last season as George (played by out actor T.R. Knight) and Izzie's lives hung in the balance, you're already anticipating the two-hour, super-sad season premiere of Grey's Anatomy tonight. Fans of the medical melodrama will tune in to find out who will live, who will die, and what's going on with lady doctor lovers Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) and Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw).

Then at 10 o’clock wind down to the relaxing recreational activities of the ladies on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. In tonight's episode, "Precious Pocketbook," there's the exciting return of Kim Zolciak's mysterious money man Big Poppa, and NeNe Leakes confronts the "Tardy for the Party" singer for recording the actionable single without her. Something tells me these Housewives might get dramatic. Voices will rise, and maybe, just maybe, someone will flip a wig. If we’re lucky. In the same hour Lifetime's got a fresh episode of Project Runway.

Tell us: Which Thursday night shows thrill you?

Bonus: One more moment from last night we had to relive: Modern Family's Lion King bit was hilarious! Did you see!? What did you think?
