BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

No one cares about the number of episodes a series produces like the program production company itself, because reaching 100 remains, at least for now, a magic number – the number generally required for a lucrative syndication deal to cable or off-network sales. Streaming venues are changing that a bit, but for now, reaching 100 episodes is still a big deal. And tonight, the Heck family reaches that milestone, with another episode of a comedy that has never gotten its due, but always is worth a visit.

 
  
 
 

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

The Boston Red Sox get home-field advantage for Game 1 against the St. Louis Cardinals. Jon Lester, 15-8, takes the mound for Boston, and Adam Wainwright, 19-9, gets the ball for St. Louis. Given the pitching duels, and pace of play, in the playoffs for these respective teams, set your recorders for extra time if you’re not watching live.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

Nathan Lane returns as Pepper, and he’s only one of many giddy guest stars peppering tonight’s wedding-preparations episode of Modern Family, with Cam and Mitchell (Eric Stonestreet, Jesse Tyler Ferguson) planning for their official big day.

 
  
 
 

CBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

This series celebrates episode number 300 tonight, with a plot that has the crew revisiting an unsolved murder from 13 years ago. And that’s when CSI began broadcasting its episodes – which is why it’s especially apt that one of the original cast members, Marg Helgenberger, returns to help solve this very cold case. And reuniting with Jorja Fox as well…

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

As we get closer to Halloween, do you need any other reason to tune in to TV’s scariest weekly series? (Well, other than Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.) Tonight, Fiona selects someone else to mentor – and it’s by no means an obvious choice.
