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. In order to take the TV
Challenge, unscramble the letters noted with aster-
isks within the puzzle.
