BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

After all the drama and controversy, this year’s Oscars host is… no host at all. And yet somehow, I predict, tonight’s live telecast will end up going past its allotted time anyway.

 
  
 
 

Showtime, 8:00 p.m. ET

Even opposite The Oscars, The Circus is in town. And what a parade of news stories it’s been this week, for this team of political correspondents to witness and follow, and comment upon…

 
  
 
 

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

In tonight’s new episode, the illicit romance between the upstairs married guest of Queen Victoria’s court and the queen’s handsome footman is revealed. Also, there’s a pitched political battle between two of the men in Victoria’s life, and she has to decide which of them to back. Her loyalties, especially regarding her husband, should be clear – but her real aim may be pointing at a different target entirely. Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

AMC, 9:00 p.m. ET

Last week, we learned all about Samantha Morton’s character of Alpha, though it took a few flashbacks, from a few different perspectives, to get at the scary truth. Obviously, Alpha is arriving to become this season’s Big Bad, now that Negan is loose and ostensibly neutered – and Alpha, leading a band of survivors who walk among the undead and wear their skinned faces as masks, is very very bad indeed.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: Now that we’ve learned of the dark secret shared by the former detectives, will tonight’s final episode of Season 3 provide closure? Or even a fittingly acceptable conclusion? For this series, the record so far is 1 out of 2, so the odds are even, either way…

 
  
 
 

HBO, 11:15 p.m. ET

Last week, John Oliver explained Brexit, and what options are available to the British in the coming month, more clearly and incisively than any legitimate news program. That’s one reason to watch Last Week Tonight loyally and closely. Another reason? John Oliver remains, week in and week out, one of the funniest comics on television – and last week, he came back refreshed for a new season of current events deconstruction.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 11:35 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: It’s common, or used to be, for the networks to launch a new TV series by taking advantage of the giant audience gathered to watch the Super Bowl.  ABC’s The Wonder Years started that way, and so did NBC’s The A-Team. But after the Oscars? That’s a new one. Yet tonight, after ABC’s coverage of the Academy Awards is over, the network provides this late-night sneak preview of its newest TV series. Whiskey Cavalier stars Scott Foley in the title role (that’s his code name, anyway), who’s paired with another highly skilled government agent – Lauren Cohan from The Walking Dead – to lead a team of operatives on complex secret missions. Think of Mission: Impossible, but as more of a light romantic comedy. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower
