BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

2019 NCAA MEN'S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

CBS, 2:00 p.m. ET

The remaining two games in this weekend’s Elite 8 are played today, before prime time, and televised by CBS. First up is the Midwest regional final at 2 p.m. ET, featuring No. 2 Kentucky vs. the team that just knocked top-seeded North Carolina out of the tournament, No. 5 Auburn. Then, at 5 p.m. ET, CBS presents the weekend’s final contest: the East regional final, No. 1 Duke vs. No. 2 Michigan State.

CALL THE MIDWIFE

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: Season 8 of this series finished playing earlier this month in the U.K. – but tonight, it begins its run here in the U.S. Therefore, if you want to avoid all spoilers, avoid the Midwife corner of the Internet. Check local listings.

AMERICAN GODS

Starz!, 8:00 p.m. ET

New Media, played by Kahyun Kim, gets even more involved this week, as the old and new gods continue to prepare for battle.

MASTERPIECE: "MRS. WILSON"

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

MINISERIES PREMIERE: This new drama series is a family affair: Actress Ruth Wilson, star of The Affair, plays her own grandmother, the title character, in a fact-based drama drawn from that grandmother’s memoirs. Check local listings. For a full review, see David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower.

THE WALKING DEAD

AMC, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: Last week’s episode had enough deaths, especially of beloved characters, to call it a season. But war between the evil Whisperers and our beleaguered heroes hasn’t even boiled over yet. Tonight’s episodic title, “The Storm,” suggests what might be coming. Then again, last week’s episode was titled “The Calm Before,” yet had a higher body count than most.

THE CASE AGAINST ADNAN SYED

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

DOCUMENTARY MINISERIES FINALE: This is Part 4 of the revisiting of the Serial murder case – the concluding installment, although, even now, conclusions may be… inconclusive. But it may be recently updated enough to include not only court rulings from earlier this month, but the results of newly conducted DNA tests on surviving evidence in the murder of 18-year-old high school student Hae Min Yee, and the subsequent murder conviction of her former boyfriend, Adnan Syed.

BILLIONS

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

Tonight is episode three of this new season, and watch carefully – even some of the strongest alliances among characters on this program are about to be tested, and maybe even shattered. And that includes not only a business partnership, but a marriage…

BARRY

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: This sleeper treat of a dark comedy series, which won some well-deserved Emmys for its freshman season of work, returns tonight with the Season 2 premiere. Welcome back, Bill Hader. Welcome back, Henry Winkler!

VEEP

HBO, 10:30 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: This show, a long-shimmering jewel in HBO’s comedy crown, returns for its latest – and final season. For many viewers, it may be increasingly difficult to watch a TV show and witness anything genuinely funny about the topic of politics – but Veep manages, despite current events, to pull it off.

LAST WEEK TONIGHT WITH JOHN OLIVER

HBO, 11:00 p.m. ET

For many viewers, it may be increasingly difficult to watch a TV show and witness anything genuinely funny about the topic of politics – but John Oliver manages, despite current events, to pull it off.

Well my little buddha,

The best advice that I Can offer is to do as I did: watch a butt-load of TV, become a college professor talking about TV and get a guest gig on Fresh Air to talk about TV.

Lovingly,

Dave
