BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: Lady Gaga comes to Springfield tonight, with a wardrobe even more animated than her usual onstage attire. Shoes that tower over even her own skyscraper heels. Designs that defy conformity and logic even more so than usual. Dresses made of, among other things, bird feathers – all of which are still attached to birds. Live birds…

 
  
 
 

CBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

This is the eighth movie in Tom Selleck’s series of Jesse Stone mystery movies, based on the books by Spenser: for Hire creator Robert B. Parker – and just the fact that these movies still exist, at a time when telemovies on the broadcast networks appear about as often as Westerns, is enough reason to applaud and support their presence. But there’s more, as well, including a Selleck portrayal that, quite intentionally, makes no concessions to younger viewers or modern trends. This is a character study and plot-driven mystery, pure and simple – and all the better for it. Co-stars include Kathy Baker, Gloria Reuben and William Devane.

 
  
 
 

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote the Sherlock Holmes story The Final Problem in 1893, it was to do away with the character of his popular detective, whom the author felt was, by that time, a burden. So at the end of the story, Holmes and his evil nemesis, Professor Moriarty, were sent over Reichenbach Falls in a locked, battling embrace to the death. Popular demand forced the resurrection of the character – and since we know the TV Sherlock series is continuing past tonight’s season finale, we know tonight's season ender, The Reichenbach Fall, is not as final an ending as it seems. But my, it’s a gripping one – transplanted to a London rooftop, with Andrew Scott’s Moriarty and Benedict Cumberbatch’s Holmes engaged in another high-altitude duel of wits. Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

Last week’s episode ended with a gruesome, surprising visual climax: the charred remains of Bran and Rickon, hung from ropes for all to see. But since the bodies are burned beyond recognition, how can we be certain that the victims are indeed the people they have been said to be? Time to call in the forensic experts of CSI: Winterfell.

 
  
 
 

AMC, 10:00 p.m. ET

This series ended last week’s episode with Betty Draper (January Jones) taking, and chewing contentedly on, a bite of food at the family dinner table. How is that a climactic moment? Well, it was – if you watched the hour before, and other shows featuring Betty this season. Just when it seems as though this show, like Betty, has bitten off more than it can chew, comes another delicious, and easily digestible, twist. What a season. What a series.
