BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Last night, the Top 12 sang for the right to stay in the competition. Tonight, the results are announced – and there are a lot of talented singers this time around, so expect some disappointment after the national vote. Then again, disappointment after the national vote – that happened to many people a week ago Tuesday as well…

BLACK AMERICA SINCE MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: AND STILL I RISE

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

Part 1 of 2. This new four-hour documentary series is from Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and looks at the evolution of “black America” in the nearly 50 years since the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. According to very recent headlines, that evolution continues, and is no less problematic, complex, and at times inspirational or volatile. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower. Check local listings.

THE CANDIDATE

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

On Election Night, when it was becoming increasingly apparent that Donald Trump would win his campaign, MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews evoked Robert Redford’s The Candidate character of politician Bill McKay, in the 1972 film The Candidate, with his stunned final question, “What do we do now?” And now here’s the movie itself, scheduled by TCM way in advance of what happened a week ago.

GOOD BEHAVIOR

TNT, 9:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: If you were a Downton Abbey fan (and if not, why not?), you probably enjoyed the brittle Britishness of Lady Mary, played so flintily, but ultimately so flirtingly, by Michelle Dockery. Well, for her new series, Dockery throws all that British period costume stuff aside, and plays a very modern role, in modern dress and times: a Southern ex-con who still works as a con woman. In the first 20 minutes alone, she gets to play a blonde (shown here), a brunette, and a redhead – and while her accent is as slippery as the opening episode’s plot and logic, Dockery definitely is fun to watch in this showy, sexy 21^st-century role. TNT shows the first two episodes tonight, which introduce the character and, by the end of episode one, establish the premise. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.

SOUNDBREAKING: STORIES FROM THE CUTTING EDGE OF RECORDED MUSIC

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

Part 2 of 5. Tonight’s installment is devoted to the development of multitrack recording – and it’s here, among other places, that producer George Martin made such an impact with the recordings of the Beatles. Piecing together “Strawberry Fields Together” from not only different takes, but different speeds? That was but one trick among hundreds – and a lot of them will be discussed, and demonstrated, tonight. For a full TV review, see David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower. Check local listings.
