Joss Stone In St Louis

Thursday Fare: Emmy Nods, 'Brother' Ouster

Up early? The Emmy nominations will be announced this morning on the morning "news" programs, "Today" (NBC, 7 a.m.), "Good Morning America"(ABC, 8 a.m.) and "CBS Morning News" (CBS, 8 a.m.), with the major nominees announced live from Hollywood about 8:30 a.m.

None of the network shows on tonight is expected to be on it, except for maybe "Glee" (Fox, 9 p.m.), seen in a rerun, or in the choreography of specific performances on "So You Think You Can Dance" (Fox, 8 p.m.).

But individual cast members on, say, "The Office" (NBC, 9 p.m.), "Parks and Recreation" (NBC, 8:30 p.m.) or "30 Rock" (NBC, 9:30 p.m.), all on in rerun tonight.

Of the reality shows that have taken hold this summer, things have been much more interesting than anyone had a right to expect for the first week of "Big Brother" (CBS, 9 p.m.). The veterans had every right to be cocky - they knew how to scheme, play the game and hang onto a banana (should a competition call for it).

But then their leading schemer Evil Dick up and quit abruptly for personal reasons, even before tonight's first eviction. The old-timers are rattled; the young ones don't know quite how to capitalize on it. Most wonder why he quit at all. Maybe he didn't want to hear Rachel's braying laugh all summer. Or the inane game they keep playing, Big Booty, which is ruining the season of "Big Brother After Dark" (Showtime2, midnight).

Chris Gorham plays opposite Becki Newton again, this time for "Love Bites" (NBC, 10 p.m.).

You know you're on "Extreme Chef" (Food, 10 p.m.) when you're dropped on a deserted island first.

Mr. C.K. has a rough show in Atlantic City on a new "Louie" (FX, 10:30 p.m.) and gets advice from an old pro, Joan Rivers.

A Southern-fried "Bachelorette" with the name of a movie and song, "Sweet Home Alabama" (CMT, 9 p.m.) has a belle from Alabama choosing from 20 good old boys, half from the country, half from the city. It accompanies a new episode of "Texas Women" (CMT, 10 p.m.).

Northern urban antidote to the above: "NY Ink" (TLC, 10 p.m.).

Catch up with "True Blood" (HBO, 8 p.m.) when the first three episodes of the fourth season run back to back.

Ed Helms guest stars on a new "Wilfred" (FX, 10 p.m.).
