Best-bets for Nov. 15: Reruns are worth re-seeing

1) “Great Performances,” 9-11 p.m.,, PBS. Here’s a rerun of last year’s terrific special, celebrating the 80th anniversary of Rodgers and Hammerstein. There are great moments from theater stars in London (where it was taped), especially and Marisha Wallace (shown here at a different event) and Michael Ball, and from Broadway stars, including Audra McDonald, Aaron Tveit and Patrick Wilson.

2) “Bob (Hearts) Abishola,” 8-10 p.m., CW. One of TV’s best comedies didn’t get much attention during its five CBS years. But now CW reruns the first four episodes, setting up a rich contrast. Bob is a Detroiter with a catsual approach to life; Abishola is a Nigerian immigrant with a no-nonsense view. Mix in their families and world’s collide in funny ways.

3) “Happy’s Place,” 8 p.m., NBC. “To you,” Gabby complains, “I’m not a person. I’m a punchline.” Well, to the show, actually. For the first four episodes, she’s been around mostly for overblown humor. Tonight, after several plot twists (some funny, some not) , friends try to make her seem like a real person. Mostly, the effort works.

4) “SWAT,” 8 p.m., CBS. Tan’s girlfriend is abducted, possibly by a violent cartel. That’s followed by “Fire Country” (a rescue following a plane crash) and “”Blue Bloods” (Danny and his nephew, Joe Hill, probe a murder),

5) ALSO: Fox has a “Rescue HI-Surf” rerun (Em is in charge, demanding respect) at 8 p.m. ET and football (UCLA at Washington) at 9. And on “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” (8 and 8:30 p.m., Disney Channel), Billie makes a logical rookie mistake: She tries a spell to remove Justin’s wisdom teeth … but, alas, removes his wisdom.
