A night of "vintage horror" is devoted to films of a sort they don't make anymore -- "Frankenstein" circa 1931 (8 p.m., TCM); "The Invisible Man," from 1933 (9:30 p.m.) and "Bride of Frankenstein" from 1935 (11 p.m.).
Billed as a combination of reality and game show, "Studio 7" (9 p.m., the WB) has contestants living -- and cramming -- together for four days before facing off in an "intense" quiz competition. After seven weeks, the winners will repeat the process for a grand prize of $777,000.
The magazine show "Prime Time Thursday" (9 p.m., ABC) expands to two hours for a special edition focusing on a single story: a high-profile murder case. In December 2001, Durham, N.C., was the scene of a brutal killing. Novelist Michael Peterson was charged with bludgeoning his wife Kathleen to death at the bottom of the stairs in their multimillion dollar home. The case is chronicled by filmmakers from Paris, who follow the case from the 911 call to the courtroom verdict.
Viewers go behind the scenes and into the lives of politicians' wives and campaign operatives in this two-hour special, "Washington Wives" (10 p.m., A & amp;E) that reveals what it takes for a woman to survive in the tough atmosphere of a presidential campaign. Political wives Elizabeth Edwards, Teresa Heinz Kerry and Judy Steinberg Dean are featured, along with journalist Sally Quinn.
