BEST TIME EVER WITH NEIL PATRICK HARRIS
NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET
SERIES FINALE: This experimental live variety series starring Neil Patrick Harris was true to the flavor of its original British inspiration – too true, I suspect, because it ended up being more parts game shows and stunts than true, talented variety segments. So we’ll have to wait for another day, and another year, for the live variety series to make a true comeback. I still assert, though, that Harris is the guy to host it. And here’s hoping, on this final Best Time Ever, he goes out with an end-of-show finale that is, indeed, his best Best Time Ever.
