BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

TCM, 8:30 a.m. ET

The month of celebrating Westerns on TCM, evety Tuesday and Wednesday all day and night, continues today, starting at 8:30 a.m. ET with a sprawling classic of the genre, 1962’s How the West Was Won, starring James Stewart, Henry Fonda, Spencer Tracy, Lee J. Cobb, and many others. Also part of today’s lineup: 1960’s The Alamo, starring John Wayne (pictured, 2 p.m. ET), and 1953’s The Naked Spur (8 p.m. ET), and 1955’s The Man from Laramie (10 p.m. ET), both starring James Stewart.

 
  
 
 

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

There are plenty of All-Stars to keep an eye on this year, from Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve, who’s on pace to achieve his third consecutive 200-hit season, to “old-timers” David Ortiz and Bartolo Colon. Ortiz (pictured) has announced his plans to retire at the end of this season, despite hitting .332 for the Boston Red Sox this year and leading the league in doubles. His long-time friend Colon will be pitching for the opposite team tonight – and the respective managers may well adjust the lineups to have the wily veterans face one another, one last time.

 
  
 
 

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

The first White House TV tour was given by Jackie Kennedy. More than 50 years later, this is more of a history lesson as well, but still with a privileged inside view – and this time, the President himself is one of the tour guides. Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

Science Channel, 9:01 p.m. ET

Every few years, a documentary crew descends upon Pompeii armed with new scientific and/or photographic equipment, determined to shed new light on the mysteries of the town that was preserved in ash after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Here comes a new one, courtesy of the Science channel. I hope they pay attention to the helpful illustrated menu at the local brothel. When I visited Pompeii, that was one of the things that stayed with me the most.

 
  
 
 

Hulu, 10:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: Beginning tonight, Hulu begins streaming weekly episodes of Season 2 of this very funny comedy, whose stars as Billy Eichner and Julie Klausner (pictured), playing humorously unlikable friends who see the worst in everyone and everything, except one another. Tonight’s guest stars include Tina Fey, playing herself.
