BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

The “Battle Rounds” continue, along with the input from the guest mentors brought on by this cycle’s judges. It’s a combination of good advice, genial competitiveness, and very talented vocal performances. It’s also a feel-good program which, on TV these days, is an increasing rarity. And last night’s closing Battle Round, with Hunter Plake and Jack Cassidy, featured two impressive singers with beautiful harmonies. And harmony was the emotional mood as well: They performed together generously, and professed to respect and like each other a lot, even as they competed to win this round of competition. What a relief to watch, and to hear – especially in these times.

DEAD RECKONING: WAR AND JUSTICE

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

MINISERIES PREMIERE: This three-hour documentary series, presented in one three-hour prime time chunk, examines global war crimes, focusing on both the investigators and the investigations. If you’re looking for a total escape from current headlines, by the way, look elsewhere. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower. Check local listings.

THE THREE FACES OF EVE

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

Joanne Woodward and Lee J. Cobb star in this 1957 movie, one of the first to dramatize a case of multiple personality disorder. Cobb plays the therapist who discovers that his patient, played by Woodward, appears to have three very distinct personalities. A generation later, in 1976, Woodward played the psychiatrist treating a female patient with an even larger and more disparate array of personalities. That was in the 1976 NBC miniseries Sybil, starring Sally Field as the patient.

BONES

Fox, 9:01 p.m. ET

SERIES FINALE: Dem Bones, dem Bones, dem dry Bones… Tonight, after 12 seasons and 246 hours of television, Fox’s forensics crime procedural Bones, starring David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel, says goodbye. The final episode has the team trying to find and capture, at last, the man who killed the father of Deschanel’s Dr. Temperance Brennan, a.k.a. “Bones.” And give Boreanaz a special nod for TV stability. For 20 straight years, he’s worked steadily in series television, starring or co-starring in just three series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Bones. And for an appreciation of Deschanel and the role she plays, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.

THE AMERICANS

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Elizabeth and Philip (Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys), the Russian sleeper spies living and working in Reagan-era America, have resigned themselves to the fact that their teen daughter, Paige (Holly Taylor), has become both aware of and intrigued by the family business. In tonight’s episode, she gets the chance to do a little covert operation of her own – while babysitting at the home of someone. Her parents are against the idea – but hey, the information could prove helpful…

It is a good site post without fail. Not too many people would actually, the way you just did. I am impressed that there is so much information about this subject that has been uncovered and you’ve defeated yourself this time, with so much quality. Good Works!

Another great set of picks! My trucking partners and I share your recommendations over coffee. We rely on West Palm Beach Auto Glass Repair (https://westpalmbeachautoglassrepair.com) for vehicle service. TVWW makes the downtime worthwhile.
