BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 
THE VOICE

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Last night’s Top 11 competition belonged to the youngsters. The song selections, chosen by viewers, weren’t always showcasing the singers to full advantage, but three of the contestants, especially, stepped up big time, and all were teenagers: Team Adam’s Addison Agen with a haunting version of Joni Mitchell’s “A Case of You,” Team Jennifer’s Noah Mac with his oddly compelling version of “Electric Love,” and Team Blake’s Chloe Kohanski (pictured) with a dynamic rendition of “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” Tonight, the viewer votes and the instant save, during which the two lowest-ranked contestants will sing to survive. Don’t expect to hear any of the aforementioned three in that particular part of the competition. Last night, they were too good.

 
  
 
 
RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

This is a very, very old Christmas special, going all the way back to 1964, which makes it one of the few to predate A Charlie Brown Christmas. Predate, but not eclipse. The major reason to watch this one , after all these years, is simple nostalgia – unless you have a more complicated affinity for tacky tabletop stop-animation.

 
  
 
 
THE FLASH

CW, 8:00 p.m. ET

Last night, the CW’s Supergirl and Arrow combined for the first night of a four-hour, four-series two-parter, concluding tonight with The Flash and, at 9 p.m. ET, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. The extended story line involves a parallel world, Earth-X, in which the Nazis won WWII (and yes, they dropped a requisite Man in the High Castle joke), with the familiar heroes from the CW superhero shows facing off against their evil, darker-dressed counterparts from this other world. As last night’s part of the adventure ended, the good guys had been captured, and held prisoner in an Earth-X facility, while their lookalike bad guys were free to roam, and terrorize, “our” Earth.

 
  
 
 
THE FRONT

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

This 1976 drama stars Woody Allen, but isn’t a Woody Allen film. It’s one of his relatively rare acting-only roles, playing a cashier in the early 1950s who agrees to earn money to offset his gambling debts to agreeing to pose as a “front” for a blacklisted show-business writer – a job description that expands as more and more blacklisted writers hire him to pretend to write their scripts, in exchange for a percentage. Co-stars include Zero Mostel, who, like The Front director Martin Ritt and screenwriter Walter Bernstein, were victims of the actual Communist-hunting “Red Scare” of the era.

 
  
 
 
THIS IS US

NBC, 9:00 p.m. ET

NBC calls this the “Fall Finale” for This Is Us, which is a shorter and neater way of saying, “The economically important November ratings sweeps periods are over, December doesn’t matter to us, so we’re basically going to start televising junk until we restart our engines in January 2018. See you next year.” This final fresh This Is Us episode of 2017, meanwhile, focuses on Randall, and promises a tearjerker, or at least a potential tear-inducer…
 
  
 
 
2017 VICTORIA'S SECRET FASHION SHOW

CBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

We’re a very complicated society. At the same time the headlines are full of allegations by women about male abuse of power, and sexual molestation, in Hollywood and politics, and women throughout the media are clamoring for a reexamination of how women are perceived and treated in and out of the workplace, a network special such as this continues to be produced, and scheduled, and watched. And, come to think of it, written about. Hey, I guess I’m a bit complicated, too…

 
  
 
 
DRUNK HISTORY CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

Comedy Central, 10:00 p.m. ET

This holiday Drunk History special may explain many things about Christmas, including what makes Santa Claus so jolly, and whether that belly actually is a beer belly. Personally, I ho ho hope not.
