Best TV bets (Nov. 3)

New show

"V"

In this reimagining of a hit 1980s miniseries, life on Earth undergoes a seismic kick in the pants when a bunch of charismatic extraterrestrials led by the beautiful Anna (Morena Baccarin) captivates most of the population, but FBI counterterrorism agent Erica Evans (Elizabeth Mitchell) quickly comes to suspect the aliens have a far more sinister agenda. 7 p.m., ABC and KAKE, Channel 10.

Special

"Kathy Griffin: Balls of Steel"

Griffin is no Jon Stewart or Bill Maher, but the foibles of entertainment's A-listers provide this self-professed D-lister with plenty of fodder. In her seventh Bravo stand-up special, she has plenty to say about Jon and Kate Gosselin, Miley Cyrus, the Oprah Winfrey-Whitney Houston interview and one of her favorite targets, Barbara Walters. 8 p.m., Bravo, Channel 61.

Documentary series

"Independent Lens"

"Power Paths" chronicles the efforts of American Indian activists to steer the energy industry in a greener direction. Ten percent of the United States' energy comes from Indian lands, but many residents of those lands are no longer willing to live with the effects of coal mining and other eco-unfriendly practices. 9 p.m., PBS and KPTS, Channel 8.

Movie

"East of Eden"

James Dean illustrates why he shot to stardom during his short life in this 1955 adaptation of John Steinbeck's novel. Dean stars as Cal, a young man who isn't happy with his lot in life. His problems include competition with his brother for their father's affection and a young woman's love, World War I, and his mother's estrangement. Julie Harris, Burl Ives and Jo Van Fleet co-star. 7 p.m., TCM, Channel 65.
