BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

With the conclusion and disappearance of How I Met Your Mother, CBS not only no longer has a Monday night leadoff anchor, it has a Monday lineup that suddenly looks suspiciously weak. Tonight, CBS moves 2 Broke Girls into the leadoff spot – a show that doesn’t deserve it --  but on this first outing as the opening batter, 2 Broke Girls has a ringer. Its guest star, playing a scatterbrained bridezilla, is publicity magnet Lindsay Lohan.

 
  
 
 

Syfy, 8:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Good news: This import is an anthology series, an endangered TV species that deserves support. Bad news: This particular series, an English-language program from France and Belgium, takes stories from the old Metal Hurlant comics (the title translates to “Screaming Metal”; in the U.S., it was published and translated as Heavy Metal), and doesn’t necessarily improve them in the retelling. Two episodes are shown tonight: One from 2012, the other from the show’s most recent season.

 
  
 
 

Syfy, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: This wild, imaginative Syfy series is presenting its final handful of episodes beginning tonight, and starts off where it left off: Anthony Head, as Paracelsus, taking charge of the warehouse and using certain artifacts to travel through time and change history, especially his own. It’s a really sparkling opener, and makes room for several guest stars, including Lindsay Wagner and Rebecca Mader.

 
  
 
 

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

This documentary recounts one of Muhammad Ali’s greatest fights – one that took place outside of the boxing ring. At a time when relatively few Americans had any concept of Muslim beliefs, Ali already had confused or shocked many people by embracing Islam and changing his name from Cassius Clay. Now, as boxing heavyweight champion of the world, he refused military induction during the Vietnam War, insisting it was against his religious beliefs. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court – and even all these decades later, it’s still an inspirational and intense story. Check local listings.
