BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

CBS, 7:00 p.m. ET

Last week, 60 Minutes presented a tribute to long-time correspondent Morley Safer, which he was able to watch and enjoy: “It’s been a wonderful run,” he wrote afterward, in what would be his last missive on Twitter. Safer died Thursday at age 84, after presenting 919 stories on 60 Minutes since joining that show is 1970. Before that, his most famous story, his “Zippo report” from Vietnam in 1965, almost singlehandedly turned Vietnam into “the living-room war.” No doubt, 60 Minutes will say farewell to Safer again tonight, perhaps more briefly but certainly more formally.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

If you’re interested: Justin Bieber is scheduled to perform tonight. So are the long-dormant The Go-Gos.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s episode is called “The Door,” and includes, according to the on-air promo, a new character or two, as well as a new confrontation and a potential new alliance.

 
  
 
 

AMC, 10:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: This is a warning, not a recommendation. I came to AMC’s latest comic-book adaptation with an open mind and eager expectations, and left it, after watching the premiere episode, with no desire whatsoever to see any subsequent episodes. Yes, it’s based on a cult comic with a loyal fan base, and those fans will get three extended action sequences in the pilot, which stars Dominic Cooper as the title character. But for the uninitiated, Preacher is so disjointed and dissatisfying, it’s nearly unwatchable. For a much more generous opinion, see David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower.
 
  
 
 

Showtime, 10:00 p.m. ET

Now here’s a show that’s fun, and scary and disturbing, in all the right ways. And this season it’s added both Dracula and Dr. Jekyll into its gothic mix. Eva Green stars – and should get an Emmy nomination for how compelling she is here.
