BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

SPECIAL PREMIERE: Netflix continues its December explosion of new programming, by today presenting a predictably quirky special from Reggie Watts, whose strange sense of humor, and eclectic tastes in music, have been established on TV in both Comedy Bang! Bang! on IFC and The Late Late Show with James Corden on CBS. In his first TV special as a headliner, he steps into the main spotlight, offering songs, biographical segments, and even a pretend sitcom.
 
  
 
 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Last night, the Top 8 sang twice each – and there was a lot on the line. Tonight, the voting results from viewers are in, and four of those eight singers will be heading home. It’s a big cut, and at this point will be more than a little painful. With the finals arriving next week, though, such accelerated ruthlessness is unavoidable.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 9:00 p.m. ET

Right on the heels of last week’s Thanksgiving episode, This Is Us presents its first Christmas episode – a “fall finale” that makes room for a return appearance by Gerald McRaney, who in the series pilot played the doctor charged with bringing the triplets into the world.

 
  
 
 

TNT, 9:00 p.m. ET

I’m still not completely sold on this new TNT series – but I am sold on watching Michelle Dockery, late of Downton Abbey, continue to shed her old prim Lady Mary image by taking on one alter ego and con-woman disguise after another. In this episode, which finds her back on the road eluding both her past and an impending arrest, she spends a good deal of it as a blonde. Yet she isn’t necessarily having more fun… Terry Kinney co-stars as her justifiably skeptical parole officer.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 10:00 p.m. ET

MIDSEASON FINALE: Here’s another “fall finale,” a network euphemism for closing up shop until January. Tonight’s episode, at least, closes the chapter on the half-season-long story of Ghost Rider, which has been the biggest superhero clunker story line since Season 2 of Heroes.
