America's Got Talent, Yankees-Red Sox, and 9/11: Where Were You?

TV Picks for August 30

America’s Got Talent, 9 p.m., NBC

Last week gave us great hope, as three dance acts went through to the Top 10, one band (Poplyfe, whom we like) and an opera singer. It would be so great if a solo singer DID NOT win this show. Of the dance acts, we love iLuminate but the West Springfield Undead are rapidly growing on us.

Yankees-Red Sox, 7 p.m., check local listings

Remember I was on vacation for two weeks? With my entire family. All of whom are huge lifelong Red Sox fans (I grew up in Massachusetts). They watch every game on TV from start to finish. This explains why I read so many books.

9/11: Where Were You?, 10 p.m., NatGeo
