BEST BETS FOR MONDAY, JULY 14, 2008
 |
TNT, noon, 9 p.m. ET Here’s a double treat for fans of Kyra Sedgwick and this series, which returns for its fourth-season premiere tonight at 9 p.m. ET. Before that happens, TNT is launching a nine-hour marathon of previous Closer episodes. That’s 10 hours in all, and a fine use of TV time. For more, see today’s BIANCULLI’S BLOG. |
 |
TCM, 8:30 p.m. ET Just before TNT’s telecast of this classic 1935 Marx Brothers masterwork of mirth, Bill Murray guest stars on Elvis Mitchell: Under the Influence to explain, among other things, why Groucho Marx and his siblings meant so much to a young, movie-loving Murray. So watch that at 8 p.m. ET, then stay tuned for this… and enjoy. |
 |
ABC Family, 10 p.m. ET So far, this series hasn’t been half as clever as its main characters think they are – but I keep hoping. Tonight, the plot includes zombies. But instead of eating brains, they eat fish. Which leads to a question: are zombies susceptible to mercury poisoning? |
 |
Showtime, 10 p.m. ET Celia gets caught outside the place where Nancy is making her big drug-smuggling transfer. It’s all that Nancy can do to keep Celia from being killed – but that doesn’t mean, if they get out alive, Nancy won’t be angry enough to be tempted to kill Celia herself. |
 |
TNT, 10 p.m. ET Rene Auberjonois, as a creepy child-molesting priest from Grace’s past, is still held by Grace as her secret prisoner – and her anger at him manifests itself in some dangerously unstable behavior. Like tying him to a chair, putting on a ratty cowboy hat, and “treating” the fallen man of the cloth to a gyrating dance, while aiming a gun at him the whole time. For more, see today’s BIANCULLI’S BLOG. |

Showtime, 10:30 p.m. ET On tonight’s episode, Belle describes her latest call-girl assignment as going “gay for pay.” She teams with another high-priced prostitute, and revels in finding a friend in whom she can confide, even off the job, with all her secrets and worries. At least, that’s how it goes at first… |
