After one day at the Masters, the big names – Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson (pictured), Rory McIlroy – are still around, but not at the top. The weather is supposed to clear for day two, and as the cut is made, the field will be made a bit more clear as well. For a perspective on this year’s tournament, see TVWW contributor Gerald Jordan’s new
Crossing Jordan column.

Any time Anna Torv, on this show, is sporting long reddish brown hair, that means we’re watching the “other” Olivia. And this week, we meet a new alternate-reality doppelganger as well. By now, after all the recent cross-universe traveling by lookalike characters, it’s safe to say the doppelgang’s all here.
PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET
(Check Local Listings) On tonight’s performance from the intimate Lincoln Center Stanley H. Kaplan Penthouse, opera singer Renee Fleming rocks out. Really. She performs songs from her recent indie rock album, Dark Hope, as well as other pieces – including Samuel Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915 and John Kander’s A Letter from Sullivan Ballou, a musical version of a famous moment from Ken Burns’ The Civil War. Also singing: Josh Groban.

Now that Once Upon a Time is a hit on ABC, and dueling versions of Snow White are vying for attention in movie theaters, here’s a good time to revisit this 2007 musical comedy that predated and prefigured them all. It also introduced us to Amy Adams, perfectly cast as an animated Disney princess come to life – in modern-day Manhattan.

SERIES PREMIERE: The set design of this new Starz series, set in Miami in 1959, is dazzling. Unfortunately, the acting is not, and the writing is worse. So this is a warning, not a recommendation – but, like televised parades, it’s beautiful to watch with the sound off. For a review, see today’s Bianculli’s Blog.
