BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

Ted is angling for dates for the wedding weekend, and comes up with a trio of last-minute possibilities – each of them, apparently, a little less acceptable than the last.

 
  
 
 

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

There’s a wedding tonight on Bones, as this show’s central couple actually threatens to become a couple. And the ceremony itself includes a musical reason to tune in – a vocal performance by a guest star who, like the song she sings, is best left as a sweet little surprise.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 10:00 p.m. ET

This 1962 thriller, originally released in Poland as Nz W Wodzie, was Roman Polanski’s first fill-length film after a series of shorts, and generated enough international acclaim to be nominated for Best Foreign Language Feature that year.  It didn’t win, but Polanski did: He was noticed, and received enough attention, and backing, that three years later he made his 1965 masterpiece of a woman’s descent into madness, Repulsion, starring Catherine Deneuve.

 
  
 
 

Comedy Central, 12:00 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: The Nerdist multimedia host and enthusiast Chris Hardwick gets yet another TV series – this time on Comedy Central, in a midnight slot that, on this network, is a plum position. It follows The Colbert Report, which follows The Daily Show with Jon Stewart – and thus, is poised to be the final leg of a very irreverent, very topical comedy trifecta.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 12:00 a.m. ET

With tonight’s Part 8, we’re only halfway through this inspirational historical analysis of world cinema – and tonight, TCM shifts the program from its usual 10 p.m. ET slot to midnight. So if this program has become a weekly habit, set your recorder or stay up later, rather than miss it. Tonight’s installment: , Tonight is Part 7, which means we’ve almost reached the halfway point of this excellent, inspirational film history documentary. Tonight’s focus is 1965-1969 – New Waves Sweep Around the World, and includes snippets of movies that don’t usually get discussed, or seen, on these shores. Included among them is the 1967 twisted comedy Daisies (pictured), released in its home country of Czechoslovakia under the title Sedmikrsky. It’s about two hedonistic teen girls who go on a brief rampage of meaningless destruction, excess and provocation. TCM shows the movie in its entirety at 1:15 a.m. ET, as soon as tonight’s documentary is concluded.
