BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s new episode has Penny (Kaley Cuoco, pictured) seducing Leonard (Johnny Galicki), but only to get him close enough to his laptop to Skype with his mom – who’s played by the delightful recurring guest star Christine Baranski, on loan from another CBS series, The Good Wife. Here’s she’s The Bad Mom – and she’s hilarious.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Sophie Lowe plays Alice in this latest reinvention of the Lewis Carroll original stories and heroine. Alice is grown up now – and, like Dorothy in Return to Oz, is diagnosed with a mental disorder after insisting upon telling tales of visiting a strange land populated by amazing people and creatures. The danger is that this new series, like its parent show Once Upon a Time, will get bogged down by impenetrable subplots and annoying excessive use of Disney fantasy characters. But it’s worth a taste, and not only for Lowe – watch, too, for Emma Rigby (pictured) as the Red Queen. Naveen Andrews, from Lost, plays Jafar, one of the aforementioned Disney force-fed imports.

 
  
 
 

TBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

Only one game is played tonight, the last deciding game of this round before the championship round begins. The Detroit Tigers and Oakland Athletics meet today at 8 p.m. ET, with the winner advancing to the American League Championship Series.

 
  
 
 

Fox, 9:00 p.m. ET

This episode pays tribute to Finn – and, thus, the young actor who played him, Cory Monteith. No cause of death is given for Finn, who, in this story line, died a few weeks before. He’s saluted, in character, by current and former cast members, and often, of course, in song. Musical highlights include Lea Michele, Monteith’s real-life girlfriend at the time of his death, singing a song to Finn in her character as Rachel: Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love.”

 
  
 
 

NBC, 10:00 p.m. ET

Last season, Monica Potter delivered an Emmy-worthy performance as Kristina Braverman, dealing with cancer, but the Academy didn’t vote for her. Maybe this year: At the end of last week’s show, Kristina announced her candidacy as mayor. So this season, she’ll be seeking votes actively.
