“A Fitting Finale” – When an unlikable fashion photographer is murdered in the middle of a fashion show, Elsbeth and the team suspect the killer to be either the photographer’s college ex – and leading model of the show, Nadine (Laura Benanti) – or her jealous husband. Meanwhile, Elsbeth’s role at the precinct is thrown into question, on the first season finale of the CBS Original series ELSBETH, Thursday, May 23 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on-demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs)*. André De Shields also guest stars as fashion designer Matteo Hart and Tim Gunn cameos as himself. Pictured: Carrie Preston as Elsbeth Tascioni Photo: Michael Parmelee/CBS ©2024 CBS Broadcasting, Inc.

Best-bets for Oct. 10: a night for folksy heroes

1) “Matlock” and “Elsbeth” reruns, 9 and 10 p.m., CBS. In the old days, CBS had Angela Lansbury solving murders. Now it doubles up – two terrific shows with folksy women outsmarting the bad guys. For “Matlock,” this is the third run of the pilot film, with a clever twist at the end; for “Elsbeth,” it’s the season-finale (shown here), complete with an offbeat fashion show. Read more…

2) “Big Brother,” 8 p.m., CBS. The final spurt begins. There are one-hour episodes today and Friday (not the usual day), followed by a two-hour finale at 9 p.m. Sunday, with a $750,000 winner.

3) “9-1-1,” 8 p.m., ABC. This wraps up the three-part opener that began with the crash of a truck loaded with bees. Some of them created chaos in a plane; now Athena – who’s not a pilot – tries to bring it down, with her colleagues ready for landing-site aid. “Doctor Odyssey” and “Grey’s Anatomy” follow.

4) “Hell’s Kitchen,” 8 p.m., Fox. It’s an early-morning seafood challenge, putting some tempers on edge. That’s followed by “Crime Scene Kitchen,” with five family duos probing some mystery baking.

5) ALSO: It’s a big sports day, with the WNBA finals starting (8 p.m. ET, ESPN), alongside two baseball play-off games (if necessary) – 6 p.m. on TBS and 8 on TNT. Movies include the Hitchcock classic “Rear Window” (1954) at 8 ET on Turner Classic Movies and “Top Gun” (1986) at 8 on the Paramount Network.
