VEEP
HBO, 10:10 p.m. ET
It’s such a busy night, this sitcom normally wouldn’t make the cut. Other worthwhile TV events tonight, in addition to the others listed in today’s Bianculli’s Best Bets, include new episodes of AMC’s The Killing and HBO’s Family Tree, an Oprah’s Master Class with Susan Sarandon on OWN, the ambitious if not entirely successful season premiere of TNT’s Falling Skies, and an absurdly impressive trio of 1970s films on Sundance Channel, starting at 6 p.m. ET: Network, The Candidate, and All the President’s Men. But tonight’s Veep gets mentioned (finally) because its guest star, playing a member of the White House press corps, is Allison Janney, who used to wrangle that very press corps as C.J. Cregg on The West Wing.
