1) “The Good Doctor,” 10 p.m. Tuesday, ABC. On a rerun night for ABC, here’s the hour that introduced a likable actress to a broader audience. Kayla Cromer, who is on the autism spectrum, co-starred in a snall cable comedy; now she plays Charlie, who is autistic. Tonight (shown here) she works with Shaun (her inspiration for becoming a doctor) and promptly oversteps her role.
2) More dramas, ABC. As the strikes ended, ABC trimmed its dramas to only 10 episodes for this season (compared to 13 on other networks). That brings this week’s pause for reruns. On “Will Trent” (8 p.m.), several people have been killed, a woman is missing asnd a pastor is suspected. On “The Rookie” (9 p.m.), Nolan and Bailey go on their honeymoon … and, of course, find a a crime.
3) Basketball, TNT. The pro playoffs begin with a “play-in” – eight teams playing for the final four spots in the playoffs. Tonight, that includes some teams accustomed to being seeded higher than this. At 7:30 p.m. ET, it’s the Lakers and Pelicans; the winner goes directly to the playoffs; the loser, on Friday, has one more shot – against the winner of the 10 p.m. game with the Kings and Warriors.
4) FBI shows, 8-11 p.m., CBS. All three dramas have been renewed for next season, as expected. Tonight, they bring trouble, involving diamonds (“FBI,” 8 p.m.), child-traffickng (“FBI: International,” 9 p.m.) and stealing artifacts being sent to a Nigerian museum (“FBI: Most Wanted,” 10).
5) “The Pink Panther” (1963), 8 p.m. ET, Turner Classic Movies. Before the story starts, you know this will be fun. The opening credits are a delight, with the cartoon character and the theme song by Henry Mancini. That’s in a day of Mancini films, including “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and “Two For the Road,” at 10:15 p.m. and 12:30 a.m.
