SEASON FINALE: For tonight’s Season 1 finale, it’s another round of musical misunderstandings – as explored, explained and sung by this show’s very talented, amazingly hard-working and likable cast. It’s almost like Ugly Betty: The Musical.

GOTHAM By David Bianculli

She’s crazy, she’s deadly, she’s unpredictable – and she’s back. Yes, it’s Barbara Kean (played by Erin Richards), out of the asylum and back looking for Jim Gordon, the future police commissioner of Gotham City. And even though she’s tried to commit murder in his presence, and even in his direction, he’s still fated to marry her – because she’s destined to be Barbara Gordon, the mother of the similarly named baby who grows up to be Bat

12 MONKEYS By David Bianculli

SEASON PREMIERE: There’s a lot of tension in the Season 2 launch of this Syfy reboot of the 1995 Twelve Monkeys movie – not only a lot of unsettling gunplay, but even a more unsettling time-travel trip or two.

BETTER CALL SAUL By David Bianculli

SEASON FINALE: I’ve been finishing my next book for the past few months, and one of the things I’ve had to sacrifice, along with sleep and a life, is being able to keep up-to-date on this, my favorite current TV series.

THE GOOD WIFE By David Bianculli

Starting tonight, The Good Wife rolls out its final four episodes – and it looks as though the story is going full circle, with Peter (Chris Noth) once again embroiled by scandal. But there are other plot lines to follow as well – such as the one involving guest star Megan Hilty (pictured) from NBC’s Smash, playing a former business rival and protégé of Diane’s husband. And another one, in which Alicia goes to Canada to defend an NSA agent, who has been deta

DICE By David Bianculli

I’m not sure this new show, starring Andrew “Dice” Clay, has found its voice after last week’s premiere – or whether I care to listen to it if it has. But I’m willing to give tonight’s episode a shot, because it guest stars Adrien Brody, as himself, descending on Dice to study and absorb him for a biographical role he plans to play.
