BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Shout Factory TV, 12:00 a.m. ET

New to the Shout! Factory website this month is a new collection of old Dick Cavett videos – this time curated around politics. The Dick Cavett Show vintage interviews, and others, include Ralph Nader in 1969, John Kerry in 1971, Ronald Reagan also in 1971, Rudy Guiliani in 1972, Ted Kennedy also in 1972, and Sen. Paul Simon in 1992.
 
  
 
 

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s PBS lineup is devoting all its space to outer space. First up, at 8 pm. ET, is A Year in Space, about astronaut Scott Kelly, who is just completing a year in space – as compared to his twin brother, Mark, also an astronaut, who has stayed home on Earth. And scientists do plan to compare the twins once Scott gets back on terra firma, because that’s the entire point of this year-long experiment. It also sounds like the first act of a ready-made science-fiction thriller, if you ask me. If Scott starts acting strange, and takes Mark’s place and begins to influence the behavior of others, you read it here first. Then, after that one-hour special, PBS at 9 p.m. ET repeats First Man on the Moon, 2014’s Nova profile of Neil Armstrong. And at 10 p.m. ET, there’s a brand-new American Experience installment called Space Men – but it goes back earlier in time than you’d expect. It’s about balloonists, the first to actually venture into the lip of “outer space.” Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

Director Stanley Kubrick oversaw this 1960 movie by Kirk Douglas, and turned it into a classic both visually and metaphorically. It’s a durable cry of solidarity that has lasted more than 50 years: “I am Spartacus!”

 
  
 
 

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s episode is titled “I Don’t Know How She Does It,” and has Claire (Julie Bowen) as super mom, running her dad’s business while getting everything done at home. But we viewers get to see how she does it – by secretly hiring a personal assistant. Speaking of personal: Cam and Mitchell take it personally when they’re relegated to mere onlookers at a friend’s wedding, and decide to take out their frustrations on the dance floor.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 10:00 p.m. ET

The violence in this case continues to escalate – and Taylor (Connor Jessup) is more at the center of things than ever.
