The only postseason baseball game played tonight is Game 4 in the ALCS. The New York Yankees host, but they’re behind, 2-1, in this best-of-seven series against the Houston Astros. Last night, on the National League side, the Washington Nationals won the pennant by sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals. So while the Yankees and Astros are battling to advance, the Nationals are watching… and resting.

One of the first nursery rhymes we’re taught as children has to do with the dangers of insufficient infrastructure when it comes to public pathways over bodies of water. And while this new Nova isn’t completely devoted to London Bridge falling down, it does look at more recent examples, nationally as well as internationally. Warning: Watch my video blog yesterday about today’s Best TV Tomorrow (I know, it’s as confusing as a John Oliver program title), at our TV

In the American League, the Houston Astros outlasted the New York Yankees in an 11th-inning duel Sunday night, tying the AL Championship Series at a game apiece. Today, in an afternoon game televised at 4 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 1, they play Game 3. Then, at 8 p.m. ET on TBS, it’s Game 4 of another best-of-seven postseason series, with the National League’s Washington Nationals hosting the St. Louis Cardinals. The Nationals have won the first three games – and if they win tonight

The storylines for tonight’s Democratic debate among presidential hopefuls are plentiful. First, it’s making room for a dozen competitors, making it the largest debate field ever mounted in a TV debate in one program. Second, because of qualifying rules for this debate, there are some new faces, even as the field narrows. Taking the debate stage for the first time: Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and businessman Tom Steyer. Third, this is the first debate since Democrats have officially be

Tonight, Frontline looks at the Supreme Court – but with a perspective of decades, telling the story of the Court’s judges, decisions, politics, aspirants, and external factors, from Robert Bork to Brett Kavanaugh. Check local listings.

The bad news, for the St. Louis Cardinals, is that the team is behind 0-2 in its National League Championship Series with the Washington Nationals, who are still finding ways to win after making the postseason by winning the NL Wild-Card game. The good news, for the Cards, is that these NLCS series are best-of-seven, not best-of-five, so there’s a little more margin for error, and opportunity for a comeback. The worst news? The Nationals, after winning two road games, now enjoy home-field

If Bob and Abishola’s budding courtship proceeded without a hitch (or, maritally, with one), this show would be a lot less funny – and, probably, a lot shorter-lived. So tonight, with the cross-cultural, cross-racial couple not yet together, the series has Bob take the advice of friends and seek companionship elsewhere. Specifically, on a dating site…
