In the first two games of this year’s World Series, the team that made the most errors lost, and at least partly for that very reason. So after two games, the Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals each have one victory – and tonight’s pivotal Game 3 moves to the venue of St. Louis.

More movies are shown by TCM in anticipation of Halloween tonight, starting with one of the first excellent movie sequels ever made: 1935’s Bride of Frankenstein. Some of the iconic scenes closely associated with Frankenstein actually come from this film instead – and Elsa Lanchester, as the titular creature, is electrifying. And electrified. As is her hair.

This new season of The Graham Norton Show has come out of the blocks with a ridiculously star-packed run of shows. Tonight, you start with Thor co-stars Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman. Then you add Katy Perry. Oh, and how about Paul McCartney?

Episode 2. This week’s episode of this beautifully shot, intriguing miniseries import gives generous chunks of screen time to two key supporting actors: John Goodman (pictured) as a wealthy American in prewar London in the early 1930s, and Jacqueline Bisset, introduced tonight as an influential, reclusive socialite. But keep your focus on the star of this period Stephen Poliakoff miniseries about a black jazz band: He’s Chiwetel Ejiofor, who was just praised so effusively by Jon Stew

With middling sitcoms cancelled almost instantly each season, it’s puzzling when a show like Susan 313 comes along – and doesn’t get ordered...

In this week’s new edition, Bill Moyers talks to author and historian Peter Dreier, who finds inspiration – and radical politics – in the poetry of Dr. Seuss.  And I would watch this on TV, and I would watch this in a tree. It is so good, so good, you see… Moyers & Company airs from Friday to Sunday on local public TV stations; to find it in your local area, visit the BillMoyers.com website.

This PBS special, part of the PBS Arts Fall Festival series, hangs out at the Centerstage theater in Baltimore as it prepares to mount repertory versions of Bruce Norris’ Clybourne Park and Kwame Kwei-Armah’s Beneatha’s Place – both reflective of Lorraine Hansberry’s original Raisin in the Sun, excerpts from which also are shown. Check local listings.

This movie is generated by footage shot by, and testimony offered by, fans of Bruce Springsteen, who explain, over and over again, how they’ve been inspired by both the man and his music. It could be unsufferable, but it isn’t: it turns out that the musician’s fans, like the artist himself, are unusually expressive and literate.
