BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

Crackle, 3:00 a.m. ET

Episode two of Season 9 presents Jerry Seinfeld driving around in a car he uses as an everyday form of transportation: His powder-blue 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster. “This is my car,” he explains matter-of-factly. “I use it to go places, run errands, drive people around.” And his traveling companion in this vintage, reliable auto is a vintage, reliable comic: Norm Macdonald, whose conversational topics of choice include… Bill Cosby.

THE GOOD PLACE

NBC, 8:30 p.m. ET

The new episodes of The Good Place continue, with a continuing story line that makes the outcome somewhat of a mystery – but not really, because if Eleanor (the one in heaven by mistake) is banished from the good place, there’s no more series.

TAKING THE STAGE: AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSIC AND STORIES THAT CHANGED AMERICA

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

In Washington, D.C., the Smithsonian’s new National Museum of African American History was opened on Sept. 23, which is when this inaugural celebration special, filmed at the nearby Kennedy Center, was recorded. Tonight, a two-hour special built around that celebration, and a tour of the new African American museum, will be presented by ABC. I don’t know if this new African American museum will include an exhibit on the new missing hyphen in African American – but we’ll see. Common and Usher are among the performers attending.

PORTLANDIA

IFC, 10:00 p.m. ET

In tonight’s new episode, Carrie dates a hunk. On this show, after seven seasons, I do believe this is a first…

KARAOKE SHOWDOWN

Spike, 10:32 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: This is not a recommendation. It’s just a note, noting that Spike TV, which already has launched one TV series based on a late-night talk show segment (Lip Sync Battle, which comes from Jimmy Fallon’s shows and precedes Karaoke Showdown as its lead-in). Tonight it presents a less official one, which basically rips off and adapts the idea of James Cordon’s Carpool Karaoke segments. I haven’t seen this yet, but I have no reason, in this case, not to stick with the original article, on CBS’s The Late Late Show with James Corden and on YouTube. Craig Robinson hosts.

The ability to work from anywhere with an internet connection provides me with greater flexibility while traveling, whether it be to visit family, travel to watch my favorite sports on TV. I’m looking for this kind of flexibility.
