Last week, Hillary Clinton appeared on The Rachel Maddow Show (pictured), doing one kind of interview. Tonight, she appears on Late Show with Stephen Colbert, doing what is sure to be another kind of interview entirely.

WHEN IT COMES TO VIOLENCE, ABC'S NEW DRAMA MIGHT BE TOO 'WICKED' By David Hinckley

ABC’s new Wicked City reminds us that if you’re going to build a show around the slaughter of pretty young women, you better have both a good reason and a good plan, or else might end up just unpleasant...

GOTHAM By David Bianculli

Galavan (James Frain) continues to manipulate the media, which helps him to amass even more power. The future Penguin, meanwhile, is anything but charismatic – but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have ways of amassing power on his own, even (or especially) if it means crossing Galavan.

CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND By David Bianculli

Last week, Rebecca (Rachel Bloom) met and confronted Josh’s girlfriend. Well, “confronted” is a little strong – more like genuflected, because she seemed so… “cool,” as the episode’s title cooed. This week, in hopes of getting closer to Josh, Rebecca throws a housewarming party – with the ulterior motive of heating up things where Josh is concerned.

SUPERGIRL By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: Greg Berlanti and his team, who already have provided TV versions of DC Comics franchises in the CW series Arrow and The Flash, move to CBS to present their latest and highest-profile new comic-based series, Supergirl. Melissa Benoist from Glee stars as Superman’s distaff cousin -- but in the pilot, while Benoist is likable enough, the best scenes are claimed by Calista Flockhart as the flinty media-empire boss who lords it over Supergirl’s meek secret identity

I'LL HAVE WHAT PHIL'S HAVING By David Bianculli

In tonight’s installment of Phil Rosenthal’s global tour of good food and friendly people, the Everybody Loves Raymond co-creator goes to Barcelona. I haven’t seen this one – but I’ve been to Barcelona, and if Phil visits Tickets Bar to sample its tapas, I’ll be thrilled. Check local listings.

FARGO By David Bianculli

This Season 2 version of Fargo is turning out to be an even bigger joy than Season 1, which I would have bet against, considering how good, and how entertaining, last season’s Fargo turned out to be. But every week of these early episodes I’ve seen, the characters get richer, the plots get deeper – and the stakes, especially for things going horribly wrong, get higher. Tonight, Jesse Plemons and Kirsten Dunst, as a young couple clearly heading in the wrong direction, begin to p

'SUPERGIRL': A COMIC BOOK HERO WITH STAYING POWER By Ed Bark

For this to fly (sorry), the title character in CBS’ Supergirl must be cast just right. Mission accomplished in this first full-fledged TV outing for Superman’s cousin...

THE SIMPSONS By David Bianculli

Tonight’s episode: Treehouse of Horror XXVI. These always are among my favorite episodes of The Simpsons, because they offer unfettered freedom from the show’s usual rules of behavior, civility and compassion. In other words, anything can happen in these annual trilogies, and invariably does. My favorite of the segments this year – and they’re all delightful – is the one in which Sideshow Bob, played with Emmy-worthy flair by guest star Kelsey Grammer, finally gets
