BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Sundance, 7:00 p.m. ET

Major league baseball used to play all its games during the day, and stage a lot more doubleheaders than it does now. But tonight, at least, Sundance presents a baseball doubleheader of baseball-themed movies – and though these films are played at night, they’re both worth watching. The action begins at 7 p.m. ET, with this 1992 movie starring Tom Hanks as a major-league baseball veteran forced to oversee a women’s team during WWII. Geena Davis, Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell co-star.

 
  
 
 

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

Now that Empire is gone for the rest of the season, American Idol can reclaim Wednesdays, and expand to a two-hour edition – the better with which to showcase the Top 9 finalists. This week’s show has a 1980s theme.

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

I would have thought that tensions on this series couldn't get ratcheted much higher – then I watched last week’s episode. And now I’m concerned for almost every major character in this show, because they’ve all managed to put themselves in danger, whether of death, discovery or making a very serious wrong move.

 
  
 
 

Sundance, 10:00 p.m. ET

Barry Levinson directed this 1984 baseball fable, which stars Robert Redford as an unusually gifted, and unusually old, “rookie,” and Kim Basinger and Glenn Close as the women in his life who have an influence on how he plays. Robert Duvall and Wilford Brimley are only the cream of a crop of fabulous character actors in this film – and the music, by Randy Newman, is another home-run aspect of this thoroughly beautiful movie.

 
  
 
 

Comedy Central, 10:30 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: “This is a crazy show.” One character says that during tonight’s inaugural episode, capping a sequence that already had made me laugh out loud – twice. This new 10-part comedy series, with a continuing story line, is from Alex Anfanger and Dan Schimpf, creators of the web series Next Time on Lonny, and bring to Comedy Central the same winning brand of dazzling unpredictability and cinematic fluency. You won’t be able to predict what comes next, except that whatever comes next will remind you of yet another movie or TV show, while remaining wholly original. In Big Time in Hollywood, FL, Anfanger and Nurse Jackie alumnus Lenny Jacobson star as wannabe filmmaking brothers in South Florida who dream of making and posting a video that will lead to success in the other Hollywood. At the moment, they still live with their parents (played so deliciously by Kathy Baker and Stephen Tobolowsky) – but that may change, which propels the plot in an absurdly unexpected direction. Executive producer Ben Stiller guest stars as an actor in rehab, and future guest stars include Michael Madsen and Cuba Gooding, Jr. Give this one a try – it’s a funnier comic debut than anything the broadcast networks have come up with in several seasons.
