BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

TBS, 4:00 p.m. ET

The St. Louis Cardinals can advance to the 2013 World Series by beating the Los Angeles Dodgers one more time. The Cardinals lead this series, 3-1, but no one knows, just yet, whether a pennant-clinching Game 5 is in the Cards.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Given this organization’s track record of quality and success, Pixar’s first made-for-TV special is cause for celebration. That’s especially true since the cast here, in this Halloween treat, includes many of the favorite toys from the Toy Story toy box, including Tom Hanks as Woody, Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear, and Don Rickles as Mr. Potato Head. This spud’s for you!

 
  
 
 

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

This postseason pitching duel has been a wonder to watch. Every game in this series has been decided by one run, and that winning margin has arrived in the late innings. Tonight is Game 4 in the Boston Red Sox vs. Detroit Tigers duel, and after another intense game last night, the Red Sox now lead the series, 2-1.

 
  
 
 

BBC America, 9:00 p.m. ET

Dominic West from The Wire and Helena Bonham Carter take on the iconic movie-star roles of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor for this BBC-4 import, presented tonight by BBC America. It focuses on a late-in-life onstage reunion by the two divorced celebrities – and by keeping its focus that tight, emerges with a very successful biographical portrait. For full reviews, see Ed Bark’s Uncle Barky’s Bytesand my own review on today’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross on NPR.

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Last week’s season premiere of this series, which reboots itself each year with a new setting and a mix of new and returning players, drew the most viewers of any American Horror Story episode to date. And no wonder, given the freaky, arresting series of promos FX has been running for this series the past few weeks. Tonight’s episode lives up to that hype, too. Supreme witch Fiona (Jessica Lange) has a heart-to-heart with the recently unearthed Madame LaLaurie (Kathy Bates), who’s been buried alive for more than 150 years… but looks great for her age.
