BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

If you want three strongly persuasive reasons to watch, or revisit, this 1941 film noir classic directed by John Huston, who co-wrote the screenplay with original author Dashiell Hammett, here they are: Humphrey Bogart, Sydney Greenstreet, and Peter Lorre. Oh, Mary Astor’s important too, but it’s that terrific trio that really enlivens this marvelous mystery movie.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

This week’s new episode is called “”Other People’s Children,” and shuffles the decks to put the show’s youngsters in situations with elders other than their own parents. Young Lily, for example, needs a new dress so she can be a flower girl at a wedding -- and taking her on her shopping trip are Claire (Julie Bowen) and Gloria (Sofia Vergara).

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Plots are getting thicker and thicker on The Americans, as some spy missions intensify while others begin to implode. Philip and Elizabeth (Matthew Rhys, Keri Russell) are getting ready to embark on a dangerous new task – while, at home, their daughter Paige (Holly Taylor) is beginning to show signs of being a fledgling spy of her own, by investigating her own mother. And Soviet embassy worker Annet Mahendru as Nina (pictured), blackmailed into becoming a double agent by Noah Emmerich’s FBI agent Stan, is now heavily active as a triple agent, having told the KGB about her contacts with the FBI. Which are significant, since Stan is in love with her now, and suspects nothing. Cold war. Hot show.

 
  
 
 

Comedy Central, 11:00 p.m. ET

On tonight’s new show, expect the host and the guest to have a droll-off, to see who can deliver their one-liners in the most tossaway, deadpan manner. That’s because Jon Stewart is a master at that – as is his guest, actor Jason Bateman.

 
  
 
 

Fuse, 11:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: Billy Eichner returns for Season 3 of this expanded-from-the-Web game show, perhaps the most frantic TV game show since Supermarket Sweep. And it’s a lot better than that one. After all, Supermarket Sweep didn’t make room for celebrity guests, such as Neil Patrick Harris…
