BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

CBS, 3:00 p.m. ET

CBS provides four offers of coverage from the third round of the 2015 Masters at Augusta, and it’ll be fun. TV coverage begins just minutes after the two-day leader by 5 strokes, 21-year-old Jordan Spieth, begins his round. But it won’t be long, promise, before CBS provides tape-delayed coverage of how and what Tiger Woods has been doing on Day 3. He made the weekend cut by scoring an overall 2 under par on the first two rounds – putting him way back in a tie for 19th place, but he’s still around. For this round, he’s paired with old foe Sergio Garcia, so that will lend even more subtext and drama to the Tiger Woods story. But the young man Spieth is far away from all of it, and in a good position to hold or extend his lead today, considering how the rest of the field has done. For a full story, see Gerald Jordan’s Crossing Jordan.
 
  
 
 

HBO, 8:00 p.m. ET

For this 2014 entry in the film franchise that first established Marvel as a movie powerhouse, the storylines are split between past and present, as in The Godfather Part II. Except here, in this genre, what happens as Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) travels into the past can affect the future significantly. In fact, everyone’s counting on it. Meanwhile, this new film gives a much more prominent role to one of its cast members, who has become more of a movie star every year, largely because of her work in other films: Jennifer Lawrence, who plays Mystique. And Raven.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

This 1974 character study stars Ellen Burstyn as a widow with a young son, with dreams of being a singer and the reality of working in a down-home local diner. Diane Ladd plays a sassy waitress named Flo, Vic Tayback plays the diner owner named Mel – and if that’s starting to sound a bit familiar, it’s because this movie inspired the long-running CBS sitcom Alice, which starred Linda Lavin in the title role, and featured Polly Holliday as Flo, and Tayback, reprising his movie role, as Mel.

 
  
 
 

BBC America, 10:00 p.m. ET

BBC America has made it trickier to ascertain precisely which installment of this show will air each Saturday – conflicting information makes it tough to pin down for the moment. But I think, and I hope, that tonight’s two-parter will begin with another appearance by Dame Judi Dench, who always is so entertaining when she visits Norton. And based on an advance clip, she is again tonight (I hope tonight), reacting with a swoon to Norton’s cheekily displayed photo of a butt tattoo, applied temporarily to the posterior of Skins actor Jack O’Connell for his role in Skins. She seems positively shocked as she looks at the picture… and looks at it, and looks at it…

 
  
 
 

NBC, 11:29 p.m. ET

If the writers don’t have a blast with this week’s guest host, SNL should get some new writers. Tonight’s guest host: Taraji P. Henson, who plays Cookie on Fox’s Empire. Tonight’s musical guests: Mumford & Sons.
