BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

ESPN, 9:00 a.m. ET

Venus Williams was fighting her way, well along the path to an improbable and exciting return to the finals at Wimbledon, when she lost her semifinal match against No. 4-ranked Angelique Kerber of Germany. But that means Kerber now faces top-seeded Serena Williams (pictured), Venus’ sister, which sets up quite a championship final. On one side of the net, it’s Serena, looking for vengeance for her sister, and looking for her own 22nd Grand Slam singles total – which would tie the Open Era women’s record set by Steffi Graf. On the other side of the net, it’s Kerber, who would have to beat both Wlliams sisters to win this championship – and whose only Grand Slam championship, at the Australian Open earlier this year, had her beating… Serena Williams. Neither player will be lacking for inspiration, so this could be a particularly exciting and emotional match.

 
  
 
 

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

This is a warning, not a recommendation. More “new” Angel from Hell episodes are tossed off, and aside, in prime time tonight, as CBS uses the dog days of summer to amortize some of the losses from one of its comedy dogs from earlier this year. Jane Lynch stars. At least she did for a week or two, before CBS canceled the show and had all these episodes left over. Welcome, therefore, to Write-Off Theater.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 8:00 p.m. ET

Johnny Depp stars as Boston gangster and loose-cannon police informant “Whitey” Bulger in this 2015 movie, which co-stars Benedict Cumberbatch from Sherlock Holmes and Dakota Johnson from Fifty Shades of Grey.

 
  
 
 

Starz!, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: For those who are caught up on this series, don’t miss tonight’s Season 2 finale – or you’ll have to time-travel, via your DVR, in order to watch it. For a full review, see David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower.
