BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

This live music show is packed with performances – and while it’s neither produced as snazzily as the Grammys nor designed with an eye to pair different artists in one-of-a-kind duos, the AMAs have a lot of firepower, and youth appeal. My daughter will be glad to learn, I presume, that Cardi B is on the bill, poised to sing “I Like It” with Bad Bunny and J Balvin. And while Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez all have solo spots scheduled, the act on the bill that intrigues me the most this year may well be Panic! At the Disco, which is planning to join the festivities via satellite live from Australia, where the group will perform – ready? – Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” (pictured).

 
  
 
 

NBC, 9:00 p.m. ET

Among tonight’s performers on This Is Us is series co-star Justin Hartley as Kevin Pearson, shown on a scene filmed in Philadelphia. What’s especially noteworthy about that to fans of NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross is that he’s visiting the actual Fresh Air studios at WHYY in Philly – and also visiting Terry, who plays herself as a special guest star (pictured). Very, very cool…

 
  
 
 

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

Part 2 of 2. This two-part look at America’s once-reigning entertainment venue concludes with reasons for the demise of the national touring circus. Animal rights activists had a lot to do with it. So did television. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.  Check local listings.
