Hannibal’s back, and there's blood everywhere

Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Friday, February 28, and Saturday, March 1. All times are Eastern.
TOP PICK
Hannibal (NBC, 10 p.m., Friday): Remember at this time last year, when you were all, “Geez. Why is NBC making a series about Hannibal Lecter?!” And then we were all, “It’s from Bryan Fuller! It could be pretty good!” And you dismissed us haughtily? Well, look who was right. You should at least apologize before sitting down to watch season two, which begins in highly awesome fashion. Todd VanDerWerff has the pregame review, and then Molly Eichel will have her customary postgame wrap-up. Whatever you do, be sure to try the meal Dr. Lecter has prepared. It’s to die for! HA HA HA HA HA H—*What’s On Tonight is stabbed in the midsection and must complete the rest of this while slowly dying. It’s up to you to crack the case of which TV Club contributor stabbed everybody’s favorite feature that reminds you of things you already know!*
ALSO NOTED
Enlisted (Fox, 9 p.m., Friday): America’s favorite—okay, only—military sitcom comes back after a short Olympics-inspired hiatus. But it’s lost its Bones lead-in and is crossing its fingers for things to go its way. Les Chappell would like you to watch, because he’d love to see more of this show and less of our blood.
Grimm (NBC, 9 p.m., Friday): Honestly, we don’t know what’s going on on this show anymore, but we know we’ve liked it in the past, and we know that it does well enough in the ratings that we’re hoping some of that spills over to Hannibal. Kevin McFarland doesn’t like the look of our stab wound.
Saturday Night Live (NBC, 11:30 p.m., Saturday): With David Sims’ departure for a “new job,” grumble grumble, the task of telling you exactly what to think about every episode of SNL now falls to Dennis Perkins, who has been preparing for this job his whole life and is creeped out by our mottled skin.
REGULAR COVERAGE
Raising Hope (Fox, 9:30 p.m., Friday)
Helix (Syfy, 10 p.m., Friday)
Black Sails (Starz, 9 p.m., Saturday)
TV CLUB CLASSIC
The X-Files (Saturday, 1 p.m.): Honestly, if we’re going to suspect anyone of killing What’s On Tonight—and/or kidnapping Scully’s baby in this week’s X-Files two-parter—it’s that Todd VanDerWerff. He’s been trying to kill us off for years! “It’s too much work,” he whines, while watching TV for a living.
ELSEWHERE IN TV CLUB
Were you skeptical about the return of Heroes as a limited series? Well, our TV Club editorial staff was, too, so they took to the NBC archives to find nine series they’d rather see resurrected. Enlightening!
HAVE YOU GUESSED THE KILLER YET?
If you haven’t, you’ve only got a little while to figure it out before the killer gets you. Now, an obligatory break for some spooooooooky music from our favorite episode of Scooby Doo.
