BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

Tuesday’s Game 1 delivered a higher rating for ABC than any Game 1 NBA Final in the network’s history – credited with more than 16.1 million viewers, and becoming the night’s most-viewed TV offering. Those who watched until the end saw the Oklahoma City Thunder come back from a double-digit deficit to beat the Miami Heat. Tonight, LeBron James and his high-profile teammates will try to even the series, while the Thunder, of course, will try to steal their… thunder.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

Last year, HBO presented His Way, a totally flattering – but totally entertaining – profile of entertainment mogul Jerry Weintraub, whose storied clients and clients’ stories included everyone from Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra to George Clooney. Tonight, HBO presents a Weintraub-produced documentary that is equally flattering – this time on 41st U.S. President George H.W. Bush, an old friend of Weintraub’s (who, by the way, made an appearance in His Way). Don’t expect objectivity, therefore – but do expect eye-opening access to Bush’s private life, and residence.

 
  
 
 

USA, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE:  Continuing this season’s trend of starting new seasons precisely where previous season cliffhangers ended, this new year of Burn Notice begins with Michael (Jeffrey Donovan) hunting for Anson (Jere Burns), who doublecrossed him and put Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar) at risk. In fact, as the show opens, she’s taken into federal custody – where she encounters a familiar face.

 
  
 
 

Comedy Central, 9:27 p.m. ET

Another summer roast rerun, this one from 2006. It’s the one which William Shatner, in his recent Broadway show Shatner’s World, poked fun at guest roaster and former Star Trek actor George Takei for not being funny. Takei did land one solid joke, though, by clarifying the pronunciation of his last name by alluding to Shatner’s widely rumored hairpiece (Takei, he explained, rhymes with “toupee”). The best joke, though, came from Jeffrey Ross, who noted the presence of one Golden Girls star on the dias. “Speaking of Shatner,” Ross said, “Betty White just Shatner pants.” Say it aloud. Other guests include Jason Alexander, Farrah Fawcett and Lisa Lampanelli.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 10:00 p.m. ET

On tonight’s program, Dr. Nancy Snyderman provides a solid, non-sensational look at a serious medical question: whether those who donate bone marrow for transplants should be compensated, as blood donors often are. Some medical organizations say no, but advocates say a financial incentive might widen the field of possible donors, or at least increase the percentage of donations.
