MINISERIES PREMIERE: In the well-known Lovin’ Spoonful song “Nashville Cats,” songwriter and lead singer John Sebastian sang about all the great guitar pickers in that city, and all the great music emanating from there.

NATURE: "SPY IN THE WILD" By David Bianculli

This Nature miniseries is a couple of different programs in one. One program is about the creatures in their natural habitats, interacting with the realistic-looking animatronic “spies” created by scientists to interact with them, and sometimes record their actions.

MAN SEEKING WOMAN By David Bianculli

This series has done its best work this season, by adding Katie Findlay as Lucy, the steady girlfriend of Jay Baruchel’s otherwise unlucky-in-love Josh. As their romance has escalated, so has the comedy – and tonight, now that they’ve decided to get married, the humor threatens to explode, literally, as the young couple set out to inform their respective parents.
