BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

This is the final night of the blind auditions, and they’ve been as entertaining and emotional as always. There’s something about watching an aspiring artist reveal, in advance, that his or her dream would be to be teamed with a specific coach – then to watch a performance good enough to get that judge to spin around in the chair. Chloe Kohanski (pictured) did all that last night, trying to hook Miley Cyrus by singing “The Chain” by Fleetwood Mac – and succeeding. Sometimes, the singers pull surprises by selecting other judges instead. Other times, no judge turns around. Regardless, family members and loved ones are just offstage, crying… and the whole thing works. This reality competition show earns its Emmys, and deserves its audience. For a full review, see Alex Strachan's TV That Matters.
 
  
 
 

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

Last season, and now this one, Black-Ish has carved out a path, for a TV sitcom, that I believe to be unprecedented. In last year’s finale, to cap off what seemed to be a routine story line about a character’s pregnancy and delivery, Bow (Tracee Ellis Ross) had to endure some unexpected complications: Her baby had preeclampsia, and was delivered by emergency C-section – eight weeks premature. And tonight, with the baby and mother safely home, the complications, and the drama, continue, because Bow is showing clear signs of suffering from a condition that’s not that uncommon, but seldom discussed, especially on television: postpartum depression.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 9:00 p.m. ET

Kate visits Kevin on set of his new movie, which turns out to be a Sly move. Also on the set: Sylvester Stallone, who guest stars here, playing himself.

 
  
 
 

Cinemax, 10:00 p.m. ET

Tales from the Tour Bus has been one of this season’s most delightfully unexpected treats. Mike Judge has served up an animated history of country music, but based on newly collected oral histories that are themselves, at times, animated by him as well. And tonight’ Cinemax presents a mini-marathon of all three installments presented to date, so viewers can catch up instantly. And should. Tonight’s subjects, in order: Johnny Paycheck, Jerry Lee Lewis, and part one of the George Jones and Tammy Wynette story, which concludes Friday.

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s episode is titled “Mid-Western Assassin” – a tip-off to why an opening sequence from this episode, of mass carnage by gunfire, has been trimmed by FX, in the wake of the recent shooting tragedy at Las Vegas.
