BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

NBC, 9:00 p.m. ET

MIDSEASON RETURN: Not since The X-Files carved out a large and loyal Friday night following on Fox has this night been a springboard for genre series, rather than an impatient launch pad for eventual cancellation. (Think Fringe. Think Dollhouse. Think of a lot of shows.) Well, even though the prospects may be grim, here comes Grimm, returning at midseason, picking up where it left off. And where did it lead off? With two of its characters, Renard (Sasha Roiz) and Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch), under a mutual love spell cast by a witch. Their judgment, like the photo, is a bit blurry.
 
  
 
 

CW, 9:00 p.m. ET

NEW DAY AND TIME: After only two episodes, Cult was considered such an unsuccessful cult show – or Cult show – that it was yanked from the Tuesday CW schedule. But it wasn’t just thrown away. Well, not completely. It was moved to Fridays, where it presents Episode 3 tonight. I mention that not because I’m impressed by this show, but because if you were, you’ll need all the help you can get finding it.
 
  
 
 

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

Not every PBS member station will be repeating its two-part Beatles special from December tonight in prime time – but many will, so it’s certainly worth a heads up, just in case. First comes a new documentary about the making, and the impact, of Magical Mystery Tour, the psychedelic British TV special from 1967 that included such songs as “Fool on the Hill” and “I Am the Walrus.” This documentary, even for hard-core Beatles fans, is chock full of new insights, rare outtakes, and other great stuff. I love it. Check local listings.
 
  
 
 

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

Following a documentary on the 1967 holiday TV special by the Beatles that aired in (and outraged much of) England, many PBS member stations tonight repeat the Magical Mystery Tour program itself. It’s remastered, restored, and really, really interesting. What a treat. Check local listings.
 
 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

There’s a really good lineup on tonight’s new edition, including such reliably talkative guests as former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele, actor and comedian David Cross, Detroit author and TV reporter Charlie LeDuff, and Huffington Post matriarch, and old Maher crony, Arianna Huffington (pictured, with Maher).
