The New York Yankees-Detroit Tigers Game 4, scheduled to be played Wednesday night but postponed because of inclement weather, is now scheduled to be played today at 4 p.m. ET, and televised by TBS. Also last night, a lengthy rain delay interrupted Game 3 of the St. Louis Cardinals-San Francisco Giants series, which the Cardinals eventually won, giving the team a 2-1 edge in that series.

Poor Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) has had a tough time in space – tougher than Elton John and Bernie Taupin’s “Rocket Man” and Harry Nilsson’s “Spaceman” put together. But this week, he comes home – and with changes back at home, almost instantly assesses the gravity of his situation.

Tracy misbehaving is nothing new on this show, but this time he’s doing it in the social universe – on Twitter. And Liz (Tina Fey), as usual, has to deal with the fallout. But the subplot I’m most interested in watching this week has to do with guest star Nina Arianda, a terrific young Broadway actress who’s also clocked some time on TV on The Good Wife.

When you realize that it’s been decades, literally, since Ethel Kennedy has given an interview, this new documentary is a TV treasure by that measure alone. Add to it the fact that it’s a documentary by Ethel’s daughter Rory, with whom her mom was pregnant when Rory’s father, Robert F. Kennedy, was assassinated in 1968, and… wow. Ethel, 84, has a lot to say, and says a lot even when she opts to remain silent. And if her reactions and reflections don’t get you, the home-movie footage will. For a full review, see Ed Bark's
