BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

SERIES RETURN: This is not a recommendation. But it’s worth noting, because of the way CBS has treated this series from the start. (And, based on the premiere, rather deservedly.) Doubt, starring Katherine Heigl from Grey’s Anatomy as an attorney who becomes romantically intrigued by her possibly guilty client, didn’t premiere until midseason, in February 2017. By March, Doubt was gone – CBS canceled it after only two episodes had aired. That left 11 produced episodes to be televised, or amortized, somewhere – and that process begins tonight on CBS, when the remaining episodes of Doubt begin rolling out on summer Saturday evenings, the deadest of all dead spots on commercial broadcast TV. Costars, for the record, include Dule Hill from The West Wing, Laverne Cox from Orange Is the New Black, Dreama Walker from Don’t Trust the B---- in Apartment 23, and Elliott Gould from MASH – the movie, not the asterisked TV series.

 
  
 
 

BBC America, 8:30 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: The real conclusion to this season, and the current story line leading to the exit of Peter Capaldi as the latest actor to inhabit the title role, will arrive this Christmas, in the traditional Doctor Who holiday special. But in the meantime, we get a very tense scene-setter, beginning with the Doctor’s current companion, Bill, reborn as a cyberman (or, in this case, perhaps, cyberwoman), and with the Doctor flanked by two powerful Time Lord adversaries, the Master and Missy.
 
  
 
 

BBC America, 10:00 p.m. ET

Last week, Tatiana Maslany’s Alison was at the center of the episode, both in flashback (showing her coming face to face for the first time with another of her clone faces) and in a current crisis, when she came face to face with yet another clone, the evil Rachel, for the first time – and lived to tell the tale. She also lived to sing a sweet duet with husband Donnie, which closed the episode on a pleasant note, literally – even though, tonight, things are bound to get much darker.

 
  
 
 

CNN, 10:00 p.m. ET

Next weekend, CNN premieres The Nineties, the latest entry in its series of miniseries documentaries exploring specific decades. That series began with The Sixties, and tonight, as a form of catch-up, CNN repeats The Seventies in a marathon showing beginning at 10 p.m. ET tonight, including an episode devoted to such 1970s TV landmarks as Charlie’s Angels. That is, if breaking news doesn’t obliterate that plan, which has been happening a lot lately with CNN’s specials. Oh – and I should say that, if you watch the episodes devoted to television, I’ll be in there somewhere, whether you’re watching The Sixties, The Seventies, The Eighties, or, next weekend, The Nineties.

 
  
 
 

BBC America, 11:00 p.m. ET

When Dame Judi Dench shows up on this show, she relaxes so much, she acts like anything but a Dame. And she’ll be in good company tonight, because she’ll be sharing the guest couch with, among others, Steve Carell, Kristin Wiig, and Jamie Foxx.

Birçok bahis sitesi kullandim, ancak bu en yaniltici olanin tacini aliyor. 'Ücretsiz bonus'? Daha çok sahte bir yem gibi. Igrenç taktikler.

Ne saka ama. Sizi gösterisli bonus vaatleriyle cezbediyorlar, sonra da üzerinize imkansiz kurallardan olusan bir duvar örüyorlar. Burada zamaninizi bosa harcamayin.
