BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

In tonight’s episode, Sheldon and Penny (Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco) take part in an experiment on a lark, and because of an excess of skepticism. The experiment? “The Intimacy Acceleration,” an experiment designed to make its participants fall in love.

AMERICAN IDOL

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

Last night, the 12 male vocalists performed. Tonight, the 12 females on the other half of the contestant equation do the same thing.

BBC America, 8:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Well, it’s a premiere on BBC America, and in the U.S., but this long-running quiz show from BBC2 is anything but new over there. But I’ve watched it while visiting London, and it’s a breezy delight. Stephen Fry hosts a rotating group of panelists who are tasked not with delivering the most accurate answer to his questions, necessarily, but the most interesting. (The title QI stands for “Quite Interesting.”) And tonight’s three back-to-back episodes all concern something connected to the letter J. Expect QI to be Jolly, not Jejune.

HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: ABC hands over two hours of prime time for this final episode of the season, which indeed promises to offer up some finality. Yet, at the same time, expect at least one cliffhanger mystery to tease viewers until next season, because it wouldn’t be an ABC Thursday drama without it.

PORTLANDIA

IFC, 10:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s episode returns to the high-stress world of real estate, and finds issues with landlords, advertisements, escrow explanations, and “microhouses.” Even better, it features returning guest stars Steve Buscemi, who also directs the episode, and Anna Gunn from Breaking Bad.
