BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

MLB Network, 5:00 p.m. ET

After yesterday’s games, and sweeps, the Baltimore Orioles will be playing for the pennant for the first time since 1997, while the Kansas City Royals will be going for its first pennant in almost 30 years. Meanwhile, their sweeps make today’s TV schedule a little simpler: just two games, televised by two different networks. First, at 5 p.m. ET, it’s the Washington Nationals vs. the San Francisco Giants, presented by the Major League Baseball Network. The Giants, after winning that astounding 18-inning showdown over the weekend (the equivalent of a full doubleheader), are ahead in the series 2-0, and have home-field advantage. Then, at 9 p.m. ET, it’s the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. the St. Louis Cardinals. This game is presented by Fox Sports 1, with the series tied at 1-1, and the Cardinals now playing at home.

 
  
 
 

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

In tonight’s episode, Raj introduces his girlfriend Emily to the gang – and the gang reacts with a less than unified and unconditional welcome. Laura Spencer guest stars in her recurring role as Emily.

 
  
 
 

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

Oswald Cobblepot may only be a busboy in tonight’s episode, but he’ll soon be cleaning up – especially after overhearing a conversation involving a Gotham City kingpin. Meanwhile, there’s another villain on the loose, and Jim Gordon is hot on the trail.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

This compendium of classic, influential shorts from the cinema’s first great animator, Winsor McCay, kicks of tonight’s TCM salute to classic animation. It’s a fantastic opportunity to see the sorts of cartoons you rarely, if ever, encounter on television – including McCay’s mind-bending, genre-mashing 1911 short, Little Nemo.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 10:00 p.m. ET

What’s the secret word, boys and girls? It’s “PEE-WEE!,” so scream real loud! Paul Reubens, who created and embodied the character of Pee-Wee Herman, guest stars tonight on The Blacklist – playing a much more mature, and malevolent, character, Mr. Vargas.
