In case you missed it, and want to see it, tonight is a repeat of the series pilot for Orville – which, like subsequent episodes, is much truer to the tone and spirit of the original Star Trek than you would imagine a comedy by Seth MacFarlane to be.

RIVERDALE By David Bianculli

I don’t suspect that “Who killed Miss Grundy?” is going to ignite the same sort of pop-culture furor as “Who killed Laura Palmer?” – but Archie’s former teacher (and, in this steamier CW adaptation of the Archie comic universe, his lover as well) was indeed killed last week in this show’s Season 2 premiere. The culprit, who shot (but not fatally) Archie’s father in last season’s finale, is now known as the Black Hood. But, for now, that

Two key questions were answered in last week’s Season 3 premiere. Elliot is alive, and Mr. Robot is alive, too. All other questions? Most of them got murkier, depending upon which universe you happen to be watching. Or believing.

2017 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES By David Bianculli

Game 3. The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs in the first two games of this year’s National League Championship Series, both of which were played at Dodger Stadium. Today, the action shifts to one of the most famous ballparks in all of baseball: Chicago’s Wrigley Field, where home-field advantage shifts to the Cubs.

THE VOICE By David Bianculli

Last night’s opening Battle Round was a good one, ending with a duel that carried unexpected resonance beyond the performances themselves. The song selected by coach Adam Levine as a duet battle for his final two contestants of the night was “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around.” When these Battle Rounds were taped, Tom Petty, who recorded this hit song with Stevie Nicks and the Heartbreakers, was still alive and well.
