You’ve seen the bootleg, courtesy of the Donald Trump camp. Now see the official release: President Trump’s 60 Minutes interview with Lesley Stahl, on which he walks out before completing. The leaked portions of the interview’s rough footage were supposed to make Stahl and 60 Minutes look bad – but had the opposite effect. And tonight’s “authorized” final cut, I believe, will attest even more to Stahl’s persistence and interview

2020 WORLD SERIES By David Bianculli

This may end up being my favorite World Series since 1960. The first three games of this 2020 series were won by whichever team scored first. The Los Angeles Dodgers did it twice, the Tampa Bay Rays once, and neither team surrendered the lead once establishing it early. But then came last night’s remarkably tense Game 4. Runs scored in eight consecutive half-innings. Four lead changes in all. And in the bottom of the ninth, with the Dodgers leading 7-6 and the Rays down to the final at-bat

THE UNDOING By David Bianculli

MINISERIES PREMIERE: David E. Kelley and Nicole Kidman, who teamed for HBO’s Big Little Lies, return to the network, and each other, for another riveting psychological miniseries about the secrets hidden beneath seemingly happy relationships. This one co-stars Hugh Grant as Kidman’s husband, and together, they’re an apparently happy and successful New York power couple. Or so it seems, but only at first. Kidman is fabulous here, and Grant is right with her. record and

FARGO By David Bianculli

Sunday night is crowded with excellent TV these days – and whenever one good show, like Lovecraft Country, ends its run, another, like The Undoing, is on deck to replace it. But please – don’t let Fargo get lost in the shuffle. The performances are too good, the story too riveting. And each week, we get closer to a few new characters…

THE COMEDY STORE By David Bianculli

Tonight’s installment is called “Joe Rogan Returns.” These days, Rogan makes headlines with his podcasts, interviewing the likes of Kanye West for hours on end. But at one point in the history of Los Angeles’ Comedy Store, he was an outsider. Then, once again, an insider. What’s the story? Tonight’s installment tells that story… among others.

HAMMER HOUSE OF HORROR MARATHON By David Bianculli

Yes, it’s another weekend marathon from Decades. And a rare one, which will be of more interest to genre fans – but, to them (and to me), a delight. From Britain’s Hammer Studios, which gave us all those Peter Cushing-Christopher Lee Dracula and other sexualized Hammer horror films of the 1950s through the 1980s, comes a 13-episode TV series from 1980: Hammer House of Horror. This is rarely shown on American TV, and with only 13 episodes in total, Decades is
