Thursday night smackdown

One of the biggest battles heading into the new fall season will occur, not surprisingly, on Thursday nights. NBC's sophomore sitcom, Community, which had an uneven first season, will be pitted against CBS' popular comedy, The Big Bang Theory, which is moving from its cozy Monday night timeslot to Survivor's old timeslot at 8pm. For those with DVR, this may not be a big deal, but for everyone else, here's some teases from both shows' upcoming seasons to help you make up your mind.

This just released promo photo from The Big Bang Theory seems to suggest Sheldon invites Penny to join him on a date with last season's guest star, Mayim Bialik. If true, that has hilarious written all over it.



Meanwhile, Community is countering with guest star Betty White, who's about as hot of a commodity as any actor in Hollywood today. Here's a video of her promoting her upcoming guest stint.
