BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

ESPN 2, 6:30 a.m. ET

It’s a new era for Wimbledon tennis – at least in terms of TV coverage, where NBC has lost broadcast rights to a cable competitor. Beginning this year – beginning today, in fact – Wimbledon will be presented in the U.S. not by NBC, but by ESPN, which will present full coverage of men’s and women’s tennis on its own and sister networks. Live first-day coverage begins early, and runs all day, on ESPN2. Watch for defending champion Novak Djokovic (pictured), and Rafael Nadal, who lost to him in last year’s finals. And keep an eye on Roger Federer, who hasn’t won at Wimbledon since 2009 – but is determined to shoot for another.

 
  
 
 

Showtime, 8:30 p.m. ET

We’re getting close to the second-season premiere of this hilarious spoof of Hollywood TV making – but it’s not too late to catch the flavor, and the cliffhanger, of last year’s final shows. And this is the right place to start.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 9:15 p.m. ET

In Gold Diggers of 1933, Ginger Rogers played a Broadway chorus girl who sang “We’re in the Money” – in Pig Latin. Two years later, We’re in the Money became the title of another movie from Warner Bros., which also was about gold diggers. But these particular gold diggers were process servers on the make, played by Joan Blondell (a Gold Diggers of 1933 veteran) and Glenda Farrell.

 
  
 
 

Encore, 10:00 p.m. ET

This is John Carpenter’s 1982 remake of 1951’s The Thing from Another World, the horror movie that featured James Arness as a hostile alien from outer space, discovered at a remote outpost in the Arctic. The alien, this time, is a lot more frightening, and the film itself a masterpiece of justifiable paranoia. Add spectacular special effects, a terrific leading role by Kurt Russell, and you’ve got one thrill-ride horror movie.

 
  
 
 

IFC, 10:00 p.m. ET

Two of Bill Murray’s early film showcases are presented tonight on IFC. At 8 p.m. ET, there’s 1979’s Meatballs, in which he stars as a loose camp counselor – followed at 10 ET by 1980’s Caddyshack, in which Murray has a small (but scene-stealing and pivotal) supporting role as a golf-course groundskeeper bedeviled by a gopher. Chevy Chase was the star here, and Murray the third banana, so think of how satisfying it must be for Murray to compare their subsequent film-career trajectories. I'm just saying.
