RIVERDALE By David Bianculli

I don’t suspect that “Who killed Miss Grundy?” is going to ignite the same sort of pop-culture furor as “Who killed Laura Palmer?” – but Archie’s former teacher (and, in this steamier CW adaptation of the Archie comic universe, his lover as well) was indeed killed last week in this show’s Season 2 premiere. The culprit, who shot (but not fatally) Archie’s father in last season’s finale, is now known as the Black Hood. But, for now, that

2017 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES By David Bianculli

Game 3. The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs in the first two games of this year’s National League Championship Series, both of which were played at Dodger Stadium. Today, the action shifts to one of the most famous ballparks in all of baseball: Chicago’s Wrigley Field, where home-field advantage shifts to the Cubs. And it’s a day game, too, which for someone old enough to remember when all postseason games were played as the sun shone, is something magical.

THE VOICE By David Bianculli

Last night’s opening Battle Round was a good one, ending with a duel that carried unexpected resonance beyond the performances themselves. The song selected by coach Adam Levine as a duet battle for his final two contestants of the night was “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around.” When these Battle Rounds were taped, Tom Petty, who recorded this hit song with Stevie Nicks and the Heartbreakers, was still alive and well.
