Don’t miss: “Feud: Bette and Joan”:

You don’t have to be a vintage film buff to enjoy this rollicking new anthology series, but it helps. Over eight lovingly crafted episodes, it recalls the legendary rivalry between Hollywood icons Joan Crawford ( Jessica Lange) and Bette Davis (Susan Sarandon) while also exploring the ageism and sexism they endured in the twilight of their careers. The marvelous cast includes Alfred Molina, Stanley Tucci, Judy Davis, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Sarah Paulson and Kathy Bates. 10 p.m. Sunday, FX.
