BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

In this new episode, the characters, even more so than usual, engage in bad behavior that may have long-term consequences – especially the behavior that takes place in a casino. And speaking of long-term, is tonight’s rambling, gambling episode likely to shed actual light on the identity of Ted’s eventual spouse? Don’t bet on it.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Last week, though the staging of the production numbers was a bit much, the most talented performers progressed to this week’s round. Which is all you can hope for – other than for judge Adam Levine to get to the point a little more quickly.

 
  
 
 

The Movie Channel, 8:00 p.m. ET

This 1997 James L. Brooks movie is a showcase of excellent writing, acting and directing – all of which were duly honored at the Oscars and elsewhere. Helen Hunt plays a diner waitress who both clashes and connects with a difficult regular patron, who has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He’s played by Jack Nicholson, in a challenging yet successful, and delightful, performance.

 
  
 
 

Fox, 9:00 p.m. ET

Next month, House will wrap up its series, so almost anything can happen in these final four episodes. But tonight, as Robert Sean Leonard’s Wilson goes home with House to be administered a high-risk, against-the-odds cancer treatment, is Wilson actually at risk of dying, and leaving the show a month early? Possible. But not probable. Wilson and House, as at the end of Casablanca, deserve one closing scene together in the finale to underscore their complicated, enduring, entertaining friendship.
 
  
 
 

NBC, 10:00 p.m. ET

Uma Thurman, as Hollywood actress Rebecca Duvall, continues her guest run on this TV series – and, within this series, as the star of Bombshell. Tonight, in a new episode called Tech,” the Marilyn Monroe musical heads to Boston for out-of-town tryouts.
