BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: Part 2 of 2. The guest shot by Kevin James’ former The King of Queens co-star, Leah Remini, continues, as Kevin Can Wait concludes its freshman season. And James and Remini continue to be paired on an undercover mission, a plot bringing back the woman who played the wife of a TV character to the next show starring her former TV “husband.” The most famous time that happened on TV, Suzanne Pleshette slipped in as a surprise, unbilled guest star on the finale of Newhart, reteaming with her former TV spouse from The Bob Newhart Show. Still, after all these decades TV’s finest finale…

 
  
 
 

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

Gotham is giving power to its villains – and identities, too, to some of them – as this series gets deeper into its current season. Though they don’t all yet have the names they’ll eventually adopt as bad guys, the Riddler has risen to power and aligned himself with Gotham’s power-grabbing ladies (including Gordon’s psychotic ex), and the Penguin has been betrayed by his underlings but embraced by Poison Ivy. And with Batman yet to emerge in this superhero prequel, right now, the villains are targeting one another.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Tonight, the Top 10 contestants perform live. And so does judge Blake Shelton, as, once again, the folks in the red swivel chairs get more of a career boost than the singers they’re judging.

 
  
 
 

AMC, 10:00 p.m. ET

Last week’s episode ended with Jimmy and Kim (Bob Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn) exiting their showdown with Jimmy’s brother, Chuck (Michael McKean), as though they’d just won a major victory. Which, because of the info Kim slyly pried from Chuck, they just may have secured the piece of the puzzle that will allow them to win the battle. Yet, looking at the long game of Jimmy a.k.a. Saul, we already know there’s no way he’s winning the war…

 
  
 
 

TBS, 10:30 p.m. ET

Tonight’s special guest star is Natalie Portman – who, other than hosting Saturday Night Live, has made only one previous post-stardom appearance on a weekly TV show. That was on The Simpsons, where she was heard but not seen. So this is something special indeed.
