BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

Comedy Central, 8:00 p.m. ET

The title of this special, Robert Smigel’s annual benefit to support autism education, is by no means an exaggeration tonight. Participants include host Jon Stewart, as well as Chris Rock, Sarah Silverman, Louis C.K., Larry David, Steve Carell, John Oliver and Amy Schumer – pretty much a list of the funniest of this generation’s comic voices. So strap in, pledge cash, and enjoy.

THE JINX: THE LIFE AND DEATHS OF ROBERT DURST

HBO, 8:00 p.m. ET

Episode 5. This is the penultimate installment of this nonfiction series – a series that is merely the latest example of why HBO Documentary czar Sheila Nevins is one of television’s most influential and impressive network executives. Her slate of original and acquired documentaries over the decades is astounding – but the ones she’s brought to HBO this year and last count among the very best. And with The Jinx, we indeed have the TV counterpart to public radio’s Serial – a mystery that gets more captivating, and complicated, the more it unravels.

THE GOOD WIFE

CBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s episode was co-written by series creators Michelle and Robert King, and directed by Robert. That automatically would ensure a TV hour of high quality – and let’s face it, The Good Wife is the best drama series on broadcast TV right now anyway. But this is a different sort of episode: Most of the time, Alicia (Julianna Margulies) navigates through situations with a poker face or a polite smile, keeping her inner thoughts in check. Tonight, though, it’s all about her inner thoughts – and gaining access to her interior monologue should be fascinating.

THE WALKING DEAD

AMC, 9:00 p.m. ET

Are you paranoid if they really are out to get you? That’s one of the questions posed tonight, as Rick continues to assess Aaron while worrying about whether the new community they’ve joined is indeed a refuge, or just the latest deadly trap. The fact that the gun Rick hid before entering the fortress town is now missing doesn’t bode well – but maybe I’m just paranoid. And if I’m paranoid, you should see Daryl (Norman Reedus)…

BATTLE CREEK

CBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s episode is a nod to series creator Vince Gilligan’s most famous TV credit, Breaking Bad. It’s an episode in which Milt and Russ go undercover to try and bust a gang that’s cooking and selling illegal street product. Except, in this case, it’s not crystal meth – it’s bootleg maple syrup. Sweet!

EPISODES

Showtime, 10:30 p.m. ET

This series has been crowded out of my Best Bets the past few weeks, because so much else has been going on – but I still end my Sundays watching, and laughing out loud at, this very clever sitcom, starring Matt Le Blanc. This year, one of the main plots involves Matt’s suddenly vanished fortune – which puts him in to the awkward position of having to entertain the idea of hosting a proposed game show, and working again with someone he’d really, really rather avoid.
