TV’s best bets: Drowning brings flashback on ‘Amsterdam’
Tonight’s might-see
“New Amsterdam,” 9 p.m., Fox. The trial run concludes tonight, with John and his police partner, Eva, probing a young woman’s drowning death.
That sends John, who is immortal, flashing back to his days in the 1920s. He was a con man then and stole a lover’s diamond bracelet. Meanwhile, he starts to pull away from Sara.
Tonight’s might-see II
“Bones,” 8 p.m., Fox. This likable show returns to new episodes, with six of them ready. “House,” alas, only has four left, starting April 28.
Tonight, a young couple goes skinny-dipping, only to find a body in the water.
Brennan and Booth probe the murder and face a bigger problem: Their therapist (former “Freaks and Geeks” star John Francis Daly) demands they go on a double date.
Other choices include
“Big Bang Theory,” 8 p.m., CBS. Sheldon feels threatened by a new co-worker.
“One Tree Hill,” 9 p.m., CW. You kind of guessed Lucas’ wedding wouldn’t happen, didn’t you? Now he deals with having been jilted.
PBS’ “American Experience: Walt Whitman,” 9 p.m., KSPS, KUID. Walt Whitman grew up in a working-class family that crumbled from despair and disease. Self-educated, he brought a fresh force to poetry. It was, he said, a reflection of the America he saw, “turbulent, fleshy, sensual, eating, drinking and breeding.” This film – more a literary essay than a biography – views his impact.
“Rules of Engagement,” 9:30 p.m., CBS. In the first of six new episodes, the mismatched couples go on vacation. First, they face a sales pitch
“Medium,” 10 p.m., NBC. Kelly Preston begins a multiweek run as a venture capitalist who likes Joe’s idea — and maybe likes Joe.
“High School Confidential,” 10 p.m., WE. This terrific documentary series gives us four years in the lives of Kansas teens. Tonight, we meet Caitlin, a devout Catholic who signs a sexual purity card, and Sara N., whose parents want her to marry a Muslim guy. They both prove to be likable, human and changeable.
