Lewis Black’s Root of All Evil
10:30 p.m., Comedy Central
Lewis Black is a very cranky Judge Judy as he presides over comics while they debate a "case." The idea is cute, but the execution is flawed. For one thing, there's only one drawn-out case per episode. And then the cases are too obvious and beg for cliched humor - Donald Trump vs. Viagra tonight, for example. Also, Black fans get very little of their favorite blowhard.

Can't wait for the Spitzer episode.

A romantic comedy that also happens to be the smartest, funniest, raunchiest, most flat-out wonderful movie ever made about baseball. Grizzled veteran Kevin Costner and flaky rookie Tim Robbins both chase the Class A town's high priestess of baseball, Susan Sarandon. They're all inspired eccentrics, and writer-director Ron Shelton, who spent five years in the minors, knows what to love about baseball and what to make fun of. (R; runs through April 2)
