BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

This is one of TCM’s more playful and outrageous theme nights – the TV equivalent of a summer beach read. It’s an evening of movies devoted to ’50s Car Culture, and though it includes, in the morning hours, the most famous example of the genre (1955’s Rebel without a Cause, at 3 a.m. ET), this particular lineup is dominated by low-budget goofy movies that rarely see the light of day – much less the night of TCM. Take, for example, two entries from Roger Corman’s low-rent AIP shop, 1958’s Hot Rod Gang (9:30 pm. ET) and its 1959 sequel, The Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow. The latter (pictured), televised at 11 a.m. ET, is a comedy about a hot rod gang in search of a new headquarters, and moving into a haunted house. It’s like Scooby-Doo with engines – and with music. Like, crazy, man.

 
  
 
 

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

In this new episode, photographer Joel Sartore takes nature photography to a different level, and different venues, by photographing rare animals who are being held and preserved in zoos and preserves. Tonight, for example, he travels to Spain to photograph the rare Iberian lynx, one of the rarest big cats in captivity. You’ve heard of missing lynx? Here’s one that’s found. Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 10:00 p.m. ET

This new ABC summer series premiered last night, and moves to its regular Tuesday time slot beginning tonight. I didn’t mention it last night, because I don’t really consider this new 10-episode mystery series worth watching. I do, however, consider its source worth mentioning, because it may mark the start of a new trend at ABC. Like The Good Doctor, which premieres on ABC this fall, Somewhere Between is based on a TV series from South Korea – in this case, God’s Gift: 14 Days. Both versions are about a mother (played, in ABC’s version, By Paula Patton) whose young daughter is killed by a mass murderer – but after the mother attempts to drown herself in grief, she emerges to find herself and her family propelled back in time, with the intent to change the future she knows has claimed her daughter once. It isn’t the worst idea for a supernatural drama, but as executed by ABC, it’s far from the best. It’s… Somewhere Between.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 10:00 p.m. ET

This is worth noting: Tonight’s guest judge on World of Dance, sitting next to Jennifer Lopez and others, is Misty Copeland, who was the first African-American principal ballerina for the American Ballet Theatre.
