The Giants, in Friday’s Game 5 of the National League Championship Series, had enough heart to take the contest back to San Francisco, where the team faces the St. Louis Cardinals in tonight’s Game 6. The cards hold a 3-2 advantage in the series, so tonight’s game determines whether or not the Giants leave their heart in San Francisco – or live on to fight another day.

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
What a treat: Tonight, TCM is devoting its prime-time lineup, and beyond, to a celebration of classic, rarely televised animation. Start at 8 p.m. ET with the Fleischer studio’s 1939 Gulliver’s Travels, a full-length cartoon that was the less successful answer to its chief rival’s earlier movie-length animated release, 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Other cartoons shown tonight include 1949’s Ragtime Bear (an early Mr. Magoo short, at 11 p.m. ET), 1950’s Gerald McBoing Boing (at 11:08 p.m. ET), and 1953’s The Tell-Tale Heart (a nine-minute cartoon version of the Edgar Allan Poe story, at 11:51 p.m. ET).
AMC, 9:00 p.m. ET
Last week’s season premiere turned out to be the most-watched drama series of the season, and not just on cable, either. People who tuned in certainly saw a whopper of an episode – and another one arrives tonight, as the survivors come face to face with other survivors, who have been imprisoned in the prison our heroes just risked their lives to overtake and clear.
Showtime, 10:00 p.m. ET
Saul (Mandy Patinkin) ended last week’s episode going straight to Carrie (Claire Danes) and asking her to be the first to see something. Of course, we’ve seen it already – but when Carrie does, it’ll change this entire series, especially her self-confidence.
