BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: As a TV experiment, this is an intriguing one: Chelsea Handler, adding to the still-outnumbered ranks of female TV talk hosts, brings a variation of the talk-show form to Netflix, three days a week – Wednesdays through Fridays – starting today. Episodes are pretaped, but doled out on a nightly basis, as with a regular broadcast or cable series. Today’s premiere is now available for streaming, where it opens with a “farewell” song from Chris Martin of Coldplay, then makes room for Drew Barrymore, Pitbull, and Education Secretary John B. King, who gives Handler a pop quiz. The opener is a bit different than the norm, but not, at first, more entertaining. It’s a show that will take time to find its voice, and will have to do much more to live up to Handler’s opening-show boast, “The point is… I’m amazing.”

 
  
 
 

TCM, 5:45 p.m. ET

With the new remake a hit, this is a great time to look back at how Hollywood presented this Rudyard Kipling classic long ago, when computer-generated creatures were things of the future. Sabu stars as Mowgli, the little boy raised by jungle animals, in this 1942 live-action adventure story.

 
  
 
 

Fox, 9:00 p.m. ET

As we near the end of the season, Hakeem is getting pressure from all sides – Laura included.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

In tonight’s new episode, Shelley Long returns as Jay’s ex-wife, Dede: This time with news that she’s about to get remarried.

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

I fully expected someone to die in last week’s episode – it just wasn’t the person I expected. And now that Elizabeth (Keri Russell) has lashed out after being trapped in a corner, now she and Philip have to deal with those consequences, while still reeling from the aftershocks of their other current spy operation. And tonight, they and their children also watch the 1983 ABC made-for-TV movie The Day After, a Cold War-era nightmare fantasy scenario in which the Soviet Union drops a nuclear bomb on the Midwestern U.S. –a perfect microcosm for the tensions dramatized in this period series.
