BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Various Networks, 6:00 p.m. ET

The Final Four arrives on TV tonight, but this year it arrives with a unique twist. You can watch the same action on three different networks – but hear it reported by three different announcing teams. TBS carries both games, beginning at 6 p.m. ET, with the standard TV reporting team – but you can also watch on TNT and TruTV, where those networks will show the same visual feed, but turn over the audio to the respective home-team announcers. (That was the way my dad used to watch Miami Dolphins football games back in Ft. Lauderdale: watching the TV image, but with the sound down, listening to the local radio announcers instead. It took more than 40 years, but technology finally has caught up.) The first game, wherever you watch it, has top-seeded South team Florida facing No. 11 seed Dayton – the last team to beat Florida before its current undefeated streak, and the only thing standing between Florida making it past the Final Four after three unsuccessful attempts. After that game concludes, the same three networks eventually will televise Game 2, which features West’s top seeds: No. 1 Arizona vs. No. 2 Wisconsin, the only Elite Eight game in which the top two seeds made it to the regional finals.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

This 2013 reboot of the Superman franchise stars Henry Cavill as Clark Kent and his costumed superhero alter ego, with more familiar faces in many of the supporting roles. Diane Lane and Kevin Costner play his adoptive parents, the Kents, Laurence Fishburne plays Daily Planet editor Perry White (for the first time in this franchise: a black White!), Russell Crowe plays alien birth father Jor-El, and Amy Adams plays Lois Lane.

 
  
 
 

Encore, 9:55 p.m. ET

This 1973 movie is more than 40 years old now, yet it still ranks as one of the scariest movies ever made. Watch, and see…

 
  
 
 

Cinemax, 10:00 p.m. ET

The day before HBO premieres Silicon Valley, its new sitcom series taking aim at, among other things, a California corporation very much like Google, sister network Cinemax presents this 2013 comedy that visits the real Google, with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson reteaming to play very atypical interns competing in that tech-savvy business environment.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 11:29 p.m. ET

Tonight’s guest host on this new edition: Anna Kendrick. Musical guest: Pharrell Williams.
