BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Another live show, another night in which the remaining contestants sing to survive – and the talent pool has been so deep this cycle, there are only one or two eliminations left before the cuts really begin to hurt.

 
  
 
 

CW, 8:00 p.m. ET

With Greg Berlanti producing or supervising so many of CW’s DC Comics series and spinoffs at the moment, someone had the bright idea – or, at least, the cross-promotional cash-in concept – of connecting all the series into a same-week, every-show story. So there are four stops on the CW superhero route to complete this particular week’s story line – starting tonight with and on Supergirl. Tomorrow, the story continues on The Flash, then moves to Wednesday on Arrow, and concludes Thursday on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 11:00 p.m. ET

TCM’s November salute to documentaries has saved some of the best for some of the best for last, with three outstanding documentary films presented late night tonight. At 11 p.m. ET, the stay-up-or-record-it action begins with 1975’s Grey Gardens, the fascinating visit with the eccentric Bouvier mother-daughter recluses Edith Bouvier Beale and Edith “Little Edie” Bouvier Beale. This particular documentary already has inspired two inspired offshoots: the Grey Gardens docudrama starring Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore, and the Documentary Now! parody starring Fred Armisen and Bill Hader.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 1:00 a.m. ET

Then there’s this 1994 documentary, about the eccentric underground comic artist R. Crumb. His story, too, figures in part of another artistic offshoot: Crumb turns out to be instrumental in inspiring the career of even more eccentric underground comic writer Harvey Pekar, whose story was told so brilliantly in 2003’s American Splendor, with Paul Giamatti as Pekar and James Urbaniak as Crumb. 

 
  
 
 

TCM, 3:15 a.m. ET

And finally, one final set of eccentrics: actor Klaus Kinski and director Werner Herzog, who clashed famously and formidably while making Herzog’s epic 1982 movie Fitzcarraldo. That movie was a based-on-fact film about an obsessed megalomaniac intent on bringing opera to the jungles of Brazil. This documentary, by Les Blank, is about the equally obsessed megalomania behind the making of that film. It features short but telling appearances by Mick Jagger and Jason Robards, the movie’s original stars, and provides a fascinating early portrait of Herzog, the visionary director currently represented by his new, amazing Into the Abyss documentary on volcanoes, produced for and available on Netflix.
