ZEN AND THE ART OF RUST COHLE By Eric Gould

THE MALTESE FALCON By David Bianculli

If you want three strongly persuasive reasons to watch, or revisit, this 1941 film noir classic directed by John Huston, who co-wrote the screenplay with original author Dashiell Hammett, here they are: Humphrey Bogart, Sydney Greenstreet, and Peter Lorre. Oh, Mary Astor’s important too, but it’s that terrific trio that really enlivens this marvelous mystery movie.

FUNNY OR DIE'S BILLY ON THE STREET By David Bianculli

SEASON PREMIERE: Billy Eichner returns for Season 3 of this expanded-from-the-Web game show, perhaps the most frantic TV game show since Supermarket Sweep. And it’s a lot better than that one. After all, Supermarket Sweep didn’t make room for celebrity guests, such as Neil Patrick Harris…

MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. By David Bianculli

In hopes of juicing this show’s momentum at midseason, ABC tonight imports a character from Marvel’s movie universe. No, not Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man. It’s Lady Sif, the Asgardian warrior woman played in the Thor movies by Jaimie Alexander. So if you guessed the wrong crossover character, I guess that makes you a Thor loser.
