BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Fox, 4:30 p.m. ET

Sunday night’s game 2 – in which the Boston Red Sox loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth, just in time for David Ortiz to hit a grand-slam homer and win the game against the Detroit Tigers, 6-5 – was an unexpected stunner. (Then again, I guess stunners, by definition, are unexpected.) So now the ALCS is tied at 1-1, and Game 3 is back in Detroit, in the daytime. Expect another tense, impressive pitching duel – and expect more surprises. (Then again, if you’re expecting them…)

 
  
 
 

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Well, the dangerous anti-gravity machine is securd safely behind the door of a S.H.I.E.L.D. vault – for now, at least – but other aspects of this show remain up in the air. But not this show’s short-term future: ABC, pleased with its initial ratings, already has renewed it for the end of the season. In tonight’s new episode, a former operative returns with a vengeful agenda – even though it may not precisely be her own.

 
  
 
 

TBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

The Los Angeles Dodgers finally got on the board in its NLCS match against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cards still have a 2-1 edge in this series – but for tonight’s prime-time Game 4, televised by TBS, the Dodgers, once again, have home-field advantage.

 
  
 
 

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

Here’s a really enjoyable, yet totally defensible, topic for a three-hour PBS documentary special: an analysis of the history and impact of comic-book superheroes. Starting when Superman lifted that car in the first issue of Action Comics #1, the heroes of comics have waged a never-ending battle for truth, justice and the American way. Take the tour, with such guides as Stan Lee, Lynda Carter and Adam West. Check local listings.
 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Last week’s episode was a bomb – or, at least, ended with one exploding in the clubhouse, leaving the bikers with no home base in Charming – and with Jax (Charlie Hunnam) having a confrontation, after some time apart, with Bobby (Mark Boone Junior).
