BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

CMT, 8:00 p.m. ET

In my 2011 TVWW interview with Mel Brooks (which can be found HERE), he revealed that he’s been working, slowly but enthusiastically, on turning this 1974 comic Western into his next movie-to-Broadway musical. And the scene he described, with glee, was the campfire scene with the beans. Watch the movie again – and imagine having front-row seats for a musical version. As my dad used to sing, “Beans, beans, the musical fruit / the more you eat, the more you toot…” (Miss you, dad.)

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, PART 2

HBO, 8:00 p.m. ET

This is the end of the Harry Potter saga – the 2011 movie that pits brave young Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) face to face with the evil Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes). Though, it should be noted, not necessarily nose to nose.

DIABOLIQUE

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

This 1955 French thriller by Henri-Georges Clouzot is an early film noir triumph in the “deadlier than the male” sub-genre. Simon Signoret and Vera Clouzot star in a story of a woman who decides to plot to kill her unfaithful husband – and solicits her husband’s mistress as her co-conspirator.

LOUIS C.K.: LIVE AT THE BEACON THEATRE

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Earlier this year, Louis C.K. eliminated the network-distribution middleman and offered a standup comedy concert special for sale directly over the Internet. That went well, but wasn’t the end of it. Tonight, FX presents the cable network premiere of that same special.

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE

NBC, 11:29 p.m. ET

Former cast regular Will Ferrell returns to guest host, in a show that also features musical guest Usher.
