Kylie Bunbury in Fox's 'Pitch.'

TCM salutes the late, great Gene Wilder with a mini-marathon of his films and a double run of Role Model: Gene Wilder (8 ET/5 PT; 11:15 ET/8:15 PT),  an interview with Alec Baldwin. The film list includes Start the Revolution Without Me (12:30 a.m. ET/9:30 p.m. PT),The Frisco Kid (2:15 a.m. ET/11:15 p.m. PT), Bonnie and Clyde (4:30 ET/1:30 PT)  and — as the centerpiece — one of three classics he did with Mel Brooks, Young Frankenstein (9:15 ET/6:15 PT).


Pitch
Fox, 9 ET/PT

As good as the pilot for Pitch was, it may have left you wondering where the show goes next — and whether Ginny’s dead dad would come along for the ride. You'll get some answers with this second outing.

How to Get Away with Murder
ABC, 10 ET/PT

It may not be true that “there are worse things than murder,” as this week’s episode title insists, but this much is certain: There's not much worse a show can do than murder our interest in its characters. One of them, we know now, is dead, though we don't know which one. The problem is that, outside of Viola Davis's Annalise, none of them would be any great loss. As long as Davis is there, Murder will never be completely unwatchable. But goodness, it's coming close.
