BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

This Nature miniseries is a couple of different programs in one. One program is about the creatures in their natural habitats, interacting with the realistic-looking animatronic “spies” created by scientists to interact with them, and sometimes record their actions. The other program is about the “spies,” and their human creators, themselves. In both cases, they’re really wild. Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

This nonfiction miniseries about passenger airlines and flight continues – and, tonight, concludes, with the installment called “Arrival.” That is, unless there’s a subsequent installment in the works, called “Clearing Customs.” Check local listings.

MSNBC, 10:00 p.m. ET

SPECIAL: Rachel Maddow and Brian Williams co-host this instant special at MSNBC,a two-hour program collecting the usual MSNBC crew, including Chris Matthews and others, to offer a 30-day assessment of Donald Trump’s presidency.

 
  
 
 

FXX, 10:00 p.m. ET

This series has done its best work this season, by adding Katie Findlay as Lucy, the steady girlfriend of Jay Baruchel’s otherwise unlucky-in-love Josh. As their romance has escalated, so has the comedy – and tonight, now that they’ve decided to get married, the humor threatens to explode, literally, as the young couple set out to inform their respective parents. No show on television deals with funnier, more physically embodied metaphors than Man Seeking Women. For Josh’s mom (recurring player Robin Duke), for example, the delivery of the invitation is volatile enough to require a robotic delivery system…
