The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again Thursday at 8 p.m. on KLSR One of screen history’s ultimate cult classics gets a do-over in this new version, which ac- knowledges the project’s past by including an on-screen audience to react along with at- home viewers. Ryan McCartan and Victoria Justice now play Brad and Janet, the straitlaced couple who undergo a big transformation upon becom- ing stranded with mad scientist Frank-N-Furter (Laverne Cox) and company. The original film’s Tim Curry narrates. Ben Vereen also stars. The Vampire Diaries Friday at 8 p.m. on KWBP The eighth — and final — sea- son of the series opens with “Hello, Brother,” resuming the saga months from where it left off, as Stefan (Paul Wesley) continues to seek Damon and Enzo (Ian Somerhalder, Michael Malarkey). Bonnie (Kat Gra- ham) tries to maintain hope that the search will be successful. Caroline and Alaric (Candice King, Matt Davis) fear they and their family are in danger. Executive producers Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson wrote the script. Identity Thief Saturday at 8:30 p.m. on KGW, KOBI Their styles differ, but Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy make for a reasonably amusing pairing in this 2013 comedy, containing a sufficient amount of the raunchy humor both have become associated with. McCarthy plays the title thief, whose lifting of a Denver busi- nessman’s (Bateman) identity prompts him to travel to Florida to find her, bring her back and get his situation corrected. Oth- ers are on their trail, though. Amanda Peet and Robert Pat- rick are among co-stars. The identity of the featured celebrity is found within the answers in the puzzle.
