BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: The winning dancers — one male, one female — are selected tonight, as the ninth iteration of this high-energy, high-talent dance series comes to an end.

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: “DEATH AND THE CIVIL WAR”

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

Ric Burns finds a new story to tell about the Civil War – one that encompasses both the unprecedented scope of that war’s destruction and the equally unprecedented availability of battlefield photography to document the losses. Needless to say, there’s some tough viewing here, and some tough facts and figures to absorb. But that was true at the time, and it’s what makes this program work. For more on this documentary, read Eric Gould's The Cold Light Reader blog. Check local listings.

SHOGUN

Encore, 8:00 p.m. ET

Part 2. Blackthorne (Richard Chamberlain) begins to see his Japanese “hosts” as less barbaric than before — and recognizes some barbarism in his own English countrymen.

PARENTHOOD

NBC, 10:00 p.m. ET

Joy and Crosby are married now, but that doesn’t mean it’s a marriage of pure Joy. Tonight, the couple decides to adopt some new rules to make their marriage work more smoothly. Good luck with that.

SONS OF ANARCHY

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

In last week’s season premiere, Jimmy Smits created such a terrific character — as an outcall pimp with class — that you instantly wanted to see more of him. Tonight, you will, as Gemma (Katey Sagal) not only seeks him out again, but asks a favor that gets him involved with the Sons.
