MEL BROOKS TRIPLE FEATURE
TCM, beginning at 8 p.m. Catch a Classic! Three of the high points of Mel Brooks’ filmmaking career — and three of the funniest comedies in Hollywood history — are on display with tonight’s hilarious triple feature on Turner Classic Movies. First up is 1974’s “Young Frankenstein,” directed by Brooks from an Oscarnominated screenplay by Brooks and star Gene Wilder that is a pitch-perfect send-up of 1930s horror classics, particularly Universal’s various “Frankenstein” adaptations. Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, Cloris Leachman, Teri Garr,
Kenneth Mars and Madeline Kahn round out the exceptional ensemble cast. Leachman and Kahn are back in the next film, “High Anxiety” (1977), which marked Brooks’ first lead speaking role. Not quite as successful a parody as “Young Frankenstein,” it still manages to take sharp and uproarious aim at its subject: the characters, tropes and techniques of Hollywood suspense thrillers, particularly the films of Alfred Hitchcock. Harvey Korman also co-stars. The night’s final Brooks classic is another one released in 1974, and one often regarded as his most brilliantly funny work ever: “Blazing Saddles.” Directed by Brooks, who co-wrote the screenplay with,
among others, comedian Richard Pryor, “Blazing Saddles” is led by Cleavon Little as a Black man who shocks a frontier town when he is appointed the new sheriff. The
film holds nothing back as it skewers the conventions of old-time Hollywood Westerns, particularly their racist elements. Wilder, Korman and Kahn are also among the ensemble cast, with Kahn nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar.

BIG SKY: “HEART-SHAPED CHARM”
ABC, 10 p.m.
We all do questionable things when we’re drunk. Most of us don’t bust open our old gunshot wound in the process. At the end of last week’s episode, tipsy but determined undersheriff Jenny (Katheryn Winnick) got frustrated by the slow-going search for answers about the car crash at the center of Season 2’s mystery. With PI pal Cassie (Kylie Bunbury) in tow, she decided to follow a person of interest as he left the bar. The ladies found themselves in what Winnick dubs “the ultimate standoff” with the local crime syndicate after Jenny was revealed to be a cop. We pick up mid-standoff, and while the women will get to walk away, there may be consequences. Someone in the crew grows suspicious of undercover cop Travis (Logan Marshallgreen), Jenny’s latest fling. When he goes missing, she fears the worst. “This is the episode where she realizes her feelings are more involved,” Winnick says. “She needs to do whatever it takes to make sure he’s OK, and even use her badge to cross the lines of the law to hopefully find him again. She is on the hunt.”
