BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

TBS, 5:30 p.m. ET

Two Game 3 contests are played tonight, and both of them are potential sweeps. First up is Cincinnati vs. San Francisco, where the Reds already enjoy a 2-0 lead over the Giants. Next, at 9 p.m. ET, is Detroit vs. Oakland, where the Tigers have a 2-0 advantage over the Athletics.
 
  
 
 

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

A social worker visits the Chance home – and, by chance, interprets their everyday shenanigans as elderly abuse inflicted upon poor Maw Maw (Cloris Leachman). The social worker is played by Jenny Slate, a former repertory member, though only briefly, of Saturday Night Live.
 
  
 
 

CW, 9:00 p.m. ET

On July 15, 2008, I filed a TVWW blog about another blog – Joss Whedon’s made-for-the-Internet Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, produced during that year’s writers’ strike. My opinion, expressed in Bianculli’s Blog, was a rave then. And it’s a rave now, four years later, as Dr. Horrible, starring Neil Patrick Harris, finally gets its prime-time broadcast network premiere, with all three parts presented in a concise one-hour format on the CW. Don’t miss this, because it’s delightful – and Harris and Nathan Fillion, now of Castle, have become much bigger stars in the interim.
 
  
 
 

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: It’s Season 31 for this indispensable PBS nonfiction series, and it begins with one of the regular highlights of every election season: The Choice, in which the presidential candidates are profiled in a more measured, thoughtful and impressive way than most other broadcast biographies. This year, of course, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama get the Choice treatment, and it’s one of my choices for tonight’s recommended viewing. Check local listings.
 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

The last few weeks on this show have been so unsettling, there’s been no time to point out some of the smaller but still noteworthy occurrences – such as the recent guest role by Ashley Tisdale, of High School Musical fame, as the very uncharacteristic role of young prostitute Emma Jean, who was hired by Clay (Ron Perlman) and beaten by a jealous Gemma (Katey Sagal). Tonight, Gemma’s son, Jax (Charlie Hunnam), thinks seriously about expanding the Sons into its own prostitution enterprise.
