BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

Well, it’s taken a very long time, but the impressive reign of The Big Bang Theory is about to end. This is the penultimate episode, “The Maternal Conclusion,” which is smart enough to make room for one of the show’s most entertaining recurring guest stars: Christine Baranski as Leonard’s mom, Beverly.

 
  
 
 

CW, 8:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s episode is called “Dead Lift,” and has Liv (Rose McIver) continuing to look into the murder case with the missing body. The difference this week is that she’s doing it after sampling the brains, and absorbing the personality, of a fitness guru. So whatever steps she takes this week to solve the crime, expect plenty of reps.

 
  
 
 

Sundance, 10:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s new, typically brief episode of State of the Union has Tom (Chris O’Dowd) trying to persuade Louise (Rosamund Pike) to back his particular story about why his arm is in a cast.

 

 
  
 
 

Comedy Central, 10:30 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Even before it premieres, attention must be paid. In an advance segment promoted and sampled for this new Comedy Central series, host Jordan Klepper, a savvy Daily Show alum, invited the Clintons to sit down with him and have the former First Lady, senator and presidential candidate read, while her former President husband watched with glee, from the Mueller report, as though she were recording an audio book of a horror story. I’m not certain whether that’s part of tonight’s premiere show – it should be – but one segment that’s scheduled for certain has Klepper visiting Iraq war veterans who have assembled a wrestling league to help deal with PTSD.
