BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Sundance, 6:00 a.m. ET

Sundance’s showcase of classic sitcoms continues, with today’s daytime launch of a mini-marathon of one of the shows that changed the face of television: 1970’s The Mary Tyler Moore Show, the first series from the taste-establishing, groundbreaking MTM Productions. The first half of Season 1 is shown in a big burst starting at 6 a.m. ET, with more episodes to follow. It takes attitude, and a little bravery, for Sundance to clear so much time on its schedule for such a quality, yet vintage, series. Sundance has got spunk. And, in this case, I like spunk…

 
  
 
 

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

Sheldon as a ladies’ man? Well, when that lady is Amy, and Sheldon is motivated to change the nature of their intimate relationship, it’s worth trying… which, in tonight’s episode, gives Jim Parsons, as Sheldon, a chance to play some very different character notes than usual.

 
  
 
 

CW, 8:00 p.m. ET

There’s a small burst of time-travel shows on TV this year, so I guess it’s inevitable that their respective time streams, or subjects, would occasionally intersect, or pull from today’s headlines as well. Tonight on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, the heroes take a timely – or timeless – trip to the White House. But it’s the 1980s White House, with Ronald Reagan as the presidential resident.

 
  
 
 

CW, 9:00 p.m. ET

On many of the time-travel series and alternate-reality dramas, Nazis remains fascinating to the writers of those shows, from Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle to NBC’s Timeless and, tonight, CW’s Supernatural. The plot tonight involves a 1930s pocket watch that is said to contain the spirit of a world leader from the 1940s: Adolf Hitler.

 
  
 
 

TBS, 11:00 p.m. ET

Don’t expect the Spanish Inquisition, but tonight’s installment of Conan is scheduled two include two members of Monty Python: Eric Idle and John Cleese, together again for the… what time is it by now? I’ve lost count. But together, alone? They're saying it's the first.
