CROSSBONES
NBC, 10:00 p.m. ET
SERIES PREMIERE: Wil Wheaton, in his debut edition of Syfy’s The Wil Wheaton Project last week, poked fun at John Malkovich’s starring role, as the dreaded pirate Blackbeard, in this new NBC series – using clips from Malkovich’s own TV interviews to present what looked like an overwhelming emotion of boredom and detachment from the star, describing his own series. Tune in to Crossbones, and you may see why. This is the sort of project you can imagine the actor appearing in while under the influence of an internal puppeteer in Being John Malkovich. Still, on a very slow Friday TV night, it's worth a peek, for Malkovich alone.
