What to Watch on Thursday: Scotty McCreery performs on Christmas special

Santa Claus is Comin' to Town (8pm, ABC) - I've said this before. I consider "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" to be a documentary on the origin of Santa Claus. Required watching if you haven't already seen it.

Community (8pm, NBC) - Jeff and Shirley join forces to take on arrogant classmates in a game of foosball. Elsewhere, Annie doesn't come clean after she accidentally breaks Abed's new DVD, and the lie quickly snowballs when Abed launches a search to find the culprit.

CMA Country Christmas (9pm, ABC) - Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles returns as host of this special featuring traditional songs and memories of holiday experiences. Scheduled performances include Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Martina McBride, Rascal Flatts, Faith Hill, Darius Rucker  and . . .  Scotty McCreery! Scotty will sing "The First Noel."

Keep a Child Alive with Alicia Keys (9pm, Showtime) - Alicia Keys guides five American contest winners on a tour of South Africa, where they visit Keep a Child Alive-funded sites in Johannesburg and Durban.

Bones (9pm, Fox) - Human remains found in mail at a dead-letter office are linked to a local retail center, where a group of employees are recent lottery winners. Also, Booth gets surprising news from his grandfather (Ralph Waite).

Whitney (9:30pm, NBC) - Lily prepares for her wedding and enlists maid-of-honor Whitney to plan an engagement bash. But all the party-planning stress causes sleepless nights for a frazzled Whitney, so she visits a therapist (Chelsea Handler) for advice.

Prime Suspect (10pm, NBC) - Duffy attempts to give a hit-and-run case to Jane when he thinks it can't be solved, and the clues in a murder case lead Jane and Evrard to a porn king.
