BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

CW, 8:00 p.m. ET

How time flies, like birds of prey. I find it difficult to believe that a dozen years have passed since the WB presented its short-lived DC Comics Birds of Prey series, presenting Dina Meyer as Barbara Gordon’s Oracle (a grown-up Batgirl), Ashley Scott as The Huntress and Rachel Skarsten as the Black Canary. I also find it difficult to believe that many people remember that series at all, but I generally find it difficult to erase entirely the memory of TV shows about costumed female crimefighters and criminals. (Chalk it up to watching Batman in my formative youth.) But I digress. Tonight on Arrow, the Birds of Prey are united in a new incarnation. There’s no Oracle this time around, though, so series regular Katie Cassidy, as Laurel, fills the void, teaming with the Black Canary to fight The Huntress. (Obviously, if this version of the DC universe is to be faithful to the original, that animosity won’t last long). The Huntress is played by Jessica De Gouw, making her fourth appearance as the renegade costumed character – and the Black Canary, like her alter ego Sara, is played by Caity Lotz (pictured), who has appeared on Arrow for two years now. And yet still, to this point, Laurel doesn’t know that her sister Sara, and the Black Canary, are the same person.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

Any one of these three very funny guest stars would be reason enough to tune in, but tonight’s Modern Family boasts all three: Fred Armisen, Patton Oswalt and (pictured) Stephen Merchant.

 
  
 
 

USA, 9:00 p.m. ET

SERIES FINALE: After eight years and 121 episodes, Psych calls it quits, serving up a finale that promises to provide a clear conclusion, while leaving room for a reunion down the road. And down the road turns out to be a destination that arrives immediately: Right after Psych concludes tonight, USA presents a post-show special, reuniting the cast and creator on live TV, called Psych After Pshow. How Psweet.

 

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

It’s a strange balancing act this series has pulled off, and no better than in this season’s current story line. We don’t want Elizabeth and Philip (Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys) to succeed in their anti-American missions – but when they don’t, we fear for and worry about them anyway. And with last week’s mission going very, very wrong, our emotional conflict continues.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s double dose of episodes deals with an unexpected rivalry between actress Em (Emily Mortimer) and best friend and personal assistant Dolly (Dolly Wells). Em is starring in a mob movie, constantly referred to as “a female Godfather”, and in one funeral scene where her character is expected to cry, Dolly gets some screen time, as a silent extra, as one of the other mourners. As the director yells “Action,” Em can’t find the tears – but Dolly, in the background, has no problem.

I'm amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that's both educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is something which too few people are speaking intelligently abou
