BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Yahoo, 12:00 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Paul Feig, creator of Freaks and Geeks, wrote the original pilot script for this new Yahoo series about a decade ago, for NBC. They never produced it, but Feig – whose TV habits as a kid included not only Lost in Space, but even such ultra-obscure space-age comedies as Quark – always had a soft spot for his sci-fi comedy idea, and recently revived and rewrote it for Yahoo. And Yahoo: The entire Season 1 is available now by finding and watching Yahoo Screen. The stars playing the young sibling astronauts (Karan Soni as Stewart and Bess Rous as Karen) aren’t familiar, but some of the guest stars are: Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans will especially enjoy spotting Joel Hodgson and Trace Beaulieu.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

TCM has been my default channel almost since the day of its launch – the place I keep my TV tuned when it’s at rest, or when I’m restless. For two decades, I’ve enjoyed the comfort of watching TCM host Robert Osborne introduce old movies and interview veteran actors and directors – and tonight, Osborne moves into the center spotlight seat, and deservedly so, for this one-hour tribute. And he didn’t even know it was coming: Osborne was ambushed, in true classic This Is Your Life style, and saluted with friends, guests (including Alex Trebek), clips and applause he had no idea were coming.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 9:00 p.m. ET

On a night devoted to this network’s decades-long host, Robert Osborne, a tribute to the veteran face of TCM is followed by a collection of Osborne’s favorite movies – starting with this 1959 Alfred Hitchcock masterwork, starring Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint.

 
  
 
 

CBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

Before she hosted Saturday Night Live last weekend, and before she broke out as the brash Cookie on Empire, Taraji P. Henson played detective Carter on this CBS series – until her character was killed off. But now that Henson is a big star, she’s returning to Person of Interest – but only for this episode, which finds a way to showcase her, in flashback.

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

SERIES FINALE: This is easily the biggest TV event of the night. How will Graham Yost’s fabulous exploration of Elmore Leonard’s backwoods Kentucky universe end tonight? I have no idea – but if the central troika of Raylan, Boyd and Ava all get out of there alive, I’ll be quite surprised. Then again, this series has surprised me consistently, by defying expectaions and delivering something even better, from the start.
