BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

Two potentially explosive events take place in tonight’s show. First, Howard shares his old science stuff with Sheldon and Raj, which leads to a road trip to the desert to set off a vintage model rocket. The more incendiary event, however, may be Penny’s befriending of Leonard’s mother (played, as always, by Christine Baranski)  – much to Leonard’s understandable displeasure.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Last week, Gary Carpentier (pictured) became the last voice added to The Voice in the audition rounds. Now come the Battle Rounds, where singers perform in tandem, with the winners advancing and the losers hoping to earn a “steal” from a rival judge.

 
  
 
 

CW, 8:00 p.m. ET

Last week, the Season 3 premiere introduced the slightly new dynamics for Supergirl (Melissa Benoist), especially at work, where her alter ego, Kara Danvers, no longer has Cat Grant as her media-empire boss. (That frees up Calista Flockhart, who plays Cat, to move to better roles, or at least more prestigious shows.) Meanwhile, tonight’s episode of Supergirl introduces a new villain from the DC Comics stable: Psi, who has various mental powers and, in this new TV incarnation, can make people imagine or experience their worst fears. Sigh. I mean, Psi. And she’s played by a familiar CW face: Yael Grobglas (pictured here, with Benoist), who portrays Petra on Jane the Virgin.

 
  
 
 

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

Game 3. The Houston Astros have taken the first two games in this year’s American League Championship Series, beating the New York Yankees, both times, by a score of 2-1. During Sunday’s Game 2, the Astros scored the winning run in the bottom of the ninth. For Game 3, the Yankees have home-field advantage, meaning the Yankees, not the Astros, will get the last at-bat.

 
  
 
 

Fox, 9:00 p.m. ET

Last week, Reed (Stephen Moyer) negotiated with his captors, promising to lead them to the Mutant Underground in exchange for protecting his family. Meanwhile, Polaris (Emma Dumont, pictured) is about to be on the loose, and arguing her terms in a much more powerful way.
