BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

It’s Hollywood Week, which means the first group meltdowns as contestants, who have made it past the first audition rounds, confront the reality of what it means to try to “play well with others.” Some do. Most don’t – and at this stage in the competition, it costs them. Meanwhile, the judges, this season, are playing well with others. Each other. And that’s a huge change from last year.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

This 1946 movie won seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Director (William Wyler), Actor (Fredric March) and Supporting Actor (Harold Russell, a real-life war veteran who, like his character, lost both hands in a wartime explosion). Few postwar movies during this period took this serious, balanced and thoughtful a look at the problems of veterans returning to civilian life. It’s as potent now as it was then.

 
  
 
 

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

Nova seems to be on a binge of cold cold cold cases. In tonight’s new installment, it explores a mass grave discovered in the catacombs of Rome – and asks the logical, scientific questions, “How did they die? And why?” Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: The Super Bowl was a blowout, but that doesn’t mean this show’s final postmortem of the 2013 pro football season, deconstructing the game score by score and error by error, won’t be entertaining. Especially with some of the players miked for the occasion.

 
  
 
 

Bravo, 10:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: Part 2 of 2. Last week, the finalists’ challenges included cooking something with Spam. Tonight, for the crowning of the winner, things are a little more complicated. Contestants are plopped into an established restaurant in Maui, and have two days to generate a four-course menu that will wow the judges, and a restaurant full of invited patrons.
