BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

TBS, 4:00 p.m. ET

The Kansas City Royals are an amazing team to watch lately – if ever there seems to be a team riding a wave of destiny, the Royals are it. Last night, the Royals won a hard-fought pitching duel, going deep into its powerful bullpen, and paired that with dedicated defense to beat the Baltimore Orioles and take a 3-0 lead in this series. The Royals, after clawing their way back to win the one-game wild-card playoff, haven’t lost a postseason game yet this year. The team has tied the record for the most consecutive wins in postseason baseball play – and if there’s another victory today, the Royals will not only break that record, but punch its ticket to the World Series.

 
  
 
 

Fox Sports 1, 8:00 p.m. ET

Meanwhile, on the National League side of things, the San Francisco Giants employed the virtues of small ball to eke out a win in yesterday’s extra-innings game against the St. Louis Cardinals, and take a 2-1 lead in this championship series. Tonight: Game 4, with the Giants enjoying home-field advantage.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 8:30 p.m. ET

This animated special was made in 1966, the year after A Charlie Brown Christmas, and is nearly as perfect and evocative a holiday special for Halloween as the first one was for Yuletide. Once again, Linus provides the story’s emotional core – but in this one, Snoopy comes to the fore as well. In a few years, this TV cartoon will be 50 years old, but for young and old, it still works its magic.

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Last week’s season-premiere reboot of this spooky series gave FX the highest ratings in its history. And tonight, the fun continues, with even more players joining in the Freak Show frivolity. Michael Chiklis and Angela Bassett, who were absent from last week’s opener, show up tonight – and their characters on this show, between them, have five breasts. All that, and the scariest clown ever seen on TV, period.

 
  
 
 

Comedy Central, 11:00 p.m. ET

Jon Stewart got violently ill for one day last week, and it was the day when Bill O’Reilly was booked as a guest. The Fox News host’s appearance was rescheduled, and it’s now scheduled for tonight. If Stewart gets violently ill again, start suspecting some sort of cause-and-effect reaction.
