Drunk History 10 p.m., Comedy Central
It has been great fun watching the "Freaks and Geeks" kids go on to have great careers, and it is similarly pleasurable to see Jesse Plemons's career develop since his great work as Landry on "Friday Night Lights." He was in "The Master" and, of course, "Breaking Bad." Now he is working on the Whitey Bulger movie "Black Mass," in which he plays one-time Whitey protégé Kevin Weeks, who exchanged expletives with Bulger in court last year. On Tuesday night, Plemons has a good time playing Edgar Allan Poe (above) in the telling of a story about Poe's literary revenge.
