BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

On the big screen, DC Comics superheroes Batman and Superman are battling one another – but on TV, two other DC costumed superheroes, Supergirl and The Flash, are making nice. So much so that they’re appearing together tonight in a crossover episode that manages to cross over two different networks. Greg Berlanti is executive producer of both CW’s The Flash and CBS’s Supergirl, and both Grant Gustin (The Flash) and Melissa Benoist (Supergirl) worked together on Fox’s Glee, so that was easy enough. But what’s nice is that these two shows are lighter in touch than the current cinematic DC Comics, and their overlapping-universes story line allows them to meet, confine in, and even challenge each other. And yes, there is indeed a footrace between Supergirl and The Flash. Ready, set, gone!

 
  
 
 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s show begins the knockout phase of the contest – and showing up for the action tonight, and to help, is Miley Cyrus. What this act needs, I can imagine her saying, is more tongue…

 
  
 
 

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

Last week, Jim Gordon was sent to prison, framed for murder by the future Riddler, and the Penguin seemed happy, meeting his new family in-laws. But tonight, both plots thicken: Friends of Gordon’s seek to exonerate him, and the new mother and siblings of the Penguin (pictured) move in to double-cross him, or worse…

 
  
 
 

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

The Honest Liar of the title in tonight’s documentary is The Amazing Randi, the magician who, like a few famous magicians before him, has used his talents to sniff out charlatans. He’s also been an actor on Deadwood, among other things, which is why this profile is particularly interesting. Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

AMC, 10:00 p.m. ET

Last week, I admitted I was two weeks behind on this show, one of my absolute favorites. That’s no longer true. Now I’m three weeks behind. But when I finally get the chance to mini-binge and catch up, boy, will that be a fun stretch of TV viewing. Meanwhile, whatever’s happening on this show, tonight it continues to happen.
