Billie Jean King: Portrait of a Pioneer (HBO, TV-PG)
Imagine doubting Serena Williams' ground strokes or the earning power of
Maria Sharapova? You can't, thanks to Billie Jean King (left), who challenged
notions of second-class athleticism during the 1960s and '70s. This doc
hits all the milestones — from the rise of feminism and the circus-like
Battle of the Sexes to, perhaps most poignantly, the end of her
marriage. This inspiring story is told by King and those who know her
best, and gives deep insight into the foundation of women's pro
tennis — and arguably all of modern women's sports. B+ —Raymond Fiore
100TH EPISODE!
8-9PM
Alias (ABC, TV-14-V)
Bradley Cooper is back as Sydney's best friend, Will! Like the song
says, we will follow him, wherever he may go — except to Kitchen
Confidential, which we never really got into for reasons we still can't
quite explain.
SERIES DEBUT
8-8:30PM
Video Justice (Court TV, TV-14)
Video evidence is the new DNA, pass it on.
9-10:01
Lost (ABC) Well, it’s better than a repeat, right? Tonight’s episode is a clip show that focuses on the island’s faith vs. science debate. It should also help fill you in on the major plot points from that new episode you missed when you assumed a repeat was going to be on.
10-11PM
CSI: NY (CBS, TV-14-SV)
Kid Rock, murder suspect. Pam, oddly aroused by that.
