BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

2016 AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

This live awards show is heavy on performances – and though it’s no Grammys, it does have its share of chart-topping, spotlight-grabbing talent, usually hot pop artists with new CDs to promote. Tonight’s roster, for example, includes Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, and Green Day.

THE WALKING DEAD

AMC, 9:00 p.m. ET

After spending last week in Alexandria, and with Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his fellow cowering cohorts, tonight’s episode spends much of its time with other characters, other potential or definite adversaries, and yet another ominous setting: the Hilltop.

WESTWORLD

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

This is the eighth episode of this series – and by now, it’s bent our understanding of the program’s reality so far into itself that it’s almost like a DNA strand of alternate consciousness. And as a reality-bending concept, Westworld is so resonant that it was used last night as a reference with which to end a sketch of increasingly anxious (and ultimately robotic and malfunctioning) CNN anchors.

SHAMELESS

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

I empathize more with the characters on this series than on most – because I tend to forget I’m watching a scripted program, and just feel bad for the new crises in which these poor folks keep embroiling themselves. These days, those include Fiona’s efforts to run yet another business, this time a laundromat, and Lip’s determined fight to get back on track, at least academically.

THE AFFAIR

Showtime, 10:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: This new, third season of The Affair gets even more complicated – because it adds yet another perspective to its twisted tapestry of a narrative. Talk about untrustworthy narrators: on this show, they’re all untrustworthy, and the truth is found, if it is at all, only by sifting through their various stories and biased accounts. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.
