Herc Says You’ll Want To Give Tonight’s Eccleston-Centric Episode A Gander Before Giving Up On THE LEFTOVERS!! Also Tonight?? The Returns Of Showtime’s MASTERS OF SEX And RAY DONOVAN!! Four More BIG BROTHER Nominations!! New HALT, NAKED, WIPEOUT, TRUE, SKIES, SHIP, RISING, RECKLESS, ENDEAVOUR, MUSKETEERS, BEACHFRONT, BIGFOOT, KARDASHIANS, VICIOUS & WEEK!! Sunday TV Talkback!!

Everyone seems to agree that of all the “Leftovers” episodes HBO forwarded to critics, the one airing tonight is easily the best. I love it. I’ll thank you to give it a look; if it doesn’t fry your burger I’ll understand if you elect to move on.

HBO says of “Two Boats and a Helicopter”:

In the face of dwindling church attendance and threats on his life, Reverend Matt Jamison (Christopher Eccleston) continues to preach his gospel: that many who disappeared in the Departure were sinners and not saints. Matt’s campaign is detoured when he learns he may lose the church to foreclosure, forcing him to launch a desperate, last-minute plan to come up with the cash to keep it. Written by Damon Lindelof & Jacqueline Hoyt; directed by Keith Gordon.

“Big Brother” spoilers for tonight and Wednesday lurk in invisotext.

This week’s HoH1, cute blonde futurenurse Nicole, nominated skin-treatment Amazon Amber and hillbilly groundskeeper Donny for eviction.

This week’s HoH2, secret cop Derrick, nominated minister Jocasta and fellow Bomb Squad member Caleb for eviction.

Nicole’s nominees won the Battle of the Block, thereby dethroning Nicole as HoH and leaving Caleb and Jocasta as the only nominees.

Though no longer on the nomination block, Donny won the Power of Veto competition.

Premiering or returning tonight:
Death Row Stories (9pm CNN)
Game Of Crowns (9:15pm Bravo)
Lone Star Lady (10pm A&E)
Masters of Sex (10pm Showtime)
Ray Donovan (9pm Showtime)
Real Housewives Of NJ (8pm Bravo)
The Strain (10pm FX)
Superhumans (9pm H2)

ABC’s “Rising Star” has yet to actually rise.

TNT’s “The Last Ship” is still sinking, but it’s still doing better than the falling “Falling Skies.”

As it has done on so many other nights, “Big Brother” emerged as last Sunday’s top show.

The Independence-Day Weekend episode of “The Leftovers” held on to a lot of its first week audience; HBO execs said at TCA this week that they don’t yet know if it’s getting a second season.
