Best-bets for June 9: two Elsbeths, endless athletes

1) “Elsbeth,” 9 and 10 p.m., CBS. In between Sunday specials – Dick Van Dyke last week, the Tony Awards next week – CBS has a chance to rerun a couple of clever mysteries. First, Elizabeth Lail (shown here), from “You” and “Ordinary Joe,” plays a schemer who uses beauty, charm and sympathy. Then a bar’s patrons receive empathy and much more. Read more…

1) “Elsbeth,” 9 and 10 p.m., CBS. In between Sunday specials – Dick Van Dyke last week, the Tony Awards next week – CBS has a chance to rerun a couple of clever mysteries. First, Elizabeth Lail (shown here), from “You” and “Ordinary Joe,” plays a schemer who uses beauty, charm and sympathy. Then a bar’s patrons receive empathy and much more.

2) Sports overload. ABC has the second game of the best-of-seven basketball finals, with Dallas and Boston; that’s 8 p.m., ET, with a pre-game show at 7:30. Fox counters with a semi-final United Football League game at 7, with San Antonio and St. Louis; the winner plays Saturday’s winner next Sunday, for the championship. And ESPN has Dodgers-Yankees baseball at 8.

3) “Interview With the Vampire,” 9 p.m., AMC. Here’s a compelling detour. Molloy insists on knowing what happened in 1973, when the vampires met him and scrubbed his memory. The result is basically a sharply written three-person play, done with subtle intensity by Jacob Anderson and Assad Zamon as the never-aging vampires and Luke Brandon Field in his second turn as the young Molloy.

4) More dramas. That one hour – 9 p.m. Sundays – is a logjam for scripted dramas. It’s when you’ll also find Hallmark’s “When Calls the Heart” (two weeks from the season-finale), Showtime’s “The Chi” and MGM+’s “Billy the Kid.” Things get even more crowded next week, when PBS starts a terrific “Grantchester” season.

5) ALSO: Gordon Ramsay goes Hawaiian, in a new episode of his “Uncharted.” That’s 9 p.m. on the National Geographic Channel, preceded (starting at 5) by reruns in Wales, England, Finland and Mexico. At 7:30 p.m., ABC reruns a “Celebrity Family Feud” with comedy actors Adam DeVine and Anders Holm. Movies include “I Am Legend” (2007), 7 p.m., CW; and “Inside Out” (2015), 7:45, Freeform.
