Critic’s corner: What’s on TV Tuesday night

Comedy Central/AP

Drunk History 10 p.m. Comedy Central

Locals who have been enjoying Comedy Central’s new series featuring intoxicated comedians attempting to retell tales of American history — and reenactments that come off just as tipsy — may want to tune in for some of the hair of the dog that bit you tonight, as the show turns its bloodshot eyes to Boston. Winona Ryder, Michael Cera (both above), and Nick Offerman make appearances in this episode, which chroni-[hic!], chroni-[hic!], chronicles the stories of the Puritan-irking Mary Dyer, as well as the Gardner Museum art heist, and a notorious arsonist. (And no, they won’t be talking about what happened at your college graduation party, so don’t worry.)

Property Envy 11:30, Bravo

Airing late, right after Andy Cohen downs his last shot, you might assume this new Bravo series is some kind of soft porn, and you’d be right. “Property Envy” is perhaps the most crystallized realization of Bravo’s chronic wealth-gawking (founded upon seven years of Real Housewives, and carried forth in shows like “Million Dollar Listing,” “Married to Medicine,” and “Below Deck”). Here, designer Stephen Collins, fussbudget home-flipper Jeff Lewis (center), interior designer Mary McDonald (left), and Chicago real estate maven Brandie Malay (right) form a many-headed Robin Leach of sorts, peering into and clocking super fancy homes so that you don’t have to get arrested trying it yourself.
