SEASON PREMIERE: I’m sort of surprised, if not astounded, that this show is back for a season two, given where and how it ended its first season. But here it is. Watch if you like, but I’ve long since moved away from Wayward Pines. For his take on the show's return, read David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.

NASHVILLE By David Bianculli

SERIES FINALE: ABC seemed to dilute and transform this series into more of a hyperactive soap opera, then canceled it anyway. Regardless, this is the final episode of Nashville, which over its run, did some very nice shows, and deserved better treatment from its network.

SLEEPER By David Bianculli

Tonight’s TCM lineup is devoted to movies in which one character arrives from another place and/or time.

FRONTLINE: "BUSINESS OF DISASTER" By David Bianculli

This week’s Frontline is a journalistic collaboration with NPR. Together, they look at the economic opportunists, and in some case vultures, who descend upon an area after a natural disaster.

But the woman’s life is in danger now, which, in this tense concluding hour, makes her the same as everyone else.
