NATHAN FOR YOU
Comedy Central, 10:30 p.m. ET
This daily feature is called Bianculli’s Best Bets, so this particular recommendation is fair, even though it comes from my 29-year-old son, Mark, who asked last night if I had seen this odd new show co-created by and starring Nathan Fielder. I hadn’t, but based on Mark’s enthusiastic description, I’ll tune in tonight, and urge you to do the same. In this reality-show spoof (well, he’s spoofing, but his guests are serious, like a Daily Show report), Fielder plays an expert giving advice to small businesses, like a retail non-food version of Gordon Ramsay. Except Fielder isn’t hot-tempered, just odd. Tonight he advises a retail clothing store to permit shoplifting by attractive patrons, because they’ll look good in the clothes they steal, and bring uglier people into the store.
