BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

Acorn TV, 3:00 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Yael Stone, who plays the outrageous and romantically unlucky Lorna on Netflix’s Orange Is the New Black, stars here in a role that takes her out of her orange jumpsuit and places her on the other side of the thin blue line. In this new TV import set in Sydney, she plays police detective Tori Lustigman, whose latest investigation into a brutal murder leads to a string of killings targeting gay men over decades. Episodes are streamed on the Acorn TV website beginning today. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower -- and boy, is it nice to be back in the swing of things, referring to my TVWW colleagues around here.

THE VOICE

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Because of Election Night tomorrow, this week’s “election” on The Voice takes place tonight only, with all 20 remaining contestants performing live, and hoping to move on, thanks to viewer vote, to the Top 12. So far, this has been a year with a strong array of impressive talent, and some of them are bound to shine, as well as falter, in the glare of the live TV spotlight. But also, so far, the two new judges, Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys, have grabbed and used the spotlight shrewdly and very, very effectively.

2016 SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE ELECTION SPECIAL

NBC, 10:00 p.m. ET

Can you be sick of this year’s presidential campaign yet still have an appetite for political satire of the same contentious battle? NBC and Saturday Night Live are betting the answer is yes – and tonight are presenting a prime-time Election Eve special, showcasing the fine work, this season, of Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump, Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton, and Larry David as Bernie Sanders. For a full review, see Alex Strachan's TV That Matters -- and boy, is it nice to be back in the swing of things, referring to my TVWW colleagues around here.

FULL FRONTAL WITH SAMANTHA BEE

TBS, 10:30 p.m. ET

Last week, both Samantha Bee and Bill Maher, on their respective satirical current-events series, got to present interviews with President Barack Obama. But Bee isn’t through yet. This week she presents two installments of Full Frontal: this one, which is televised before the election, and a post-mortem wrap-up on Wednesday night.

THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT

CBS, 11:35 p.m. ET

Stephen Colbert, like Samantha Bee, is working extra hard this week. Tonight and Wednesday, his editions of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will be broadcast live, so his monologues, conversations, sketches and reactions can be as timely as possible. And on Election night itself, he moves to corporate sibling cable network Showtime to present a late-night show that’s not only live, but entirely uncensored. More on that tomorrow… but set your recorders now.
