BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

Hollywood Week began last week on Idol, and continues this week – which begs the question, how long is a week on the West Coast, anyway? But this is where Idol, traditionally, starts to get dramatic as well as interesting, as the dreams of dozens and dozens of wannabe superstars get dashed in seconds, while others get to ride their euphoria to the next round.

 
  
 
 

Fox, 9:01 p.m. ET

Tonight’s episode brings on the guest stars. One is former music star Courtney Love (pictured), playing a former music star signed for a possible comeback. The other, playing a mystery woman from the past, is played by Raven-Symone – whose past includes playing the littlest kid added to the cast of The Cosby Show.
 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

The women in this “all-American” family are at the center of tonight’s episode. Mom Elizabeth (Keri Russell) is targeted by the FBI, which is closing in on her without yet knowing her true identity – while daughter Paige (Holly Taylor, pictured), also is targeted, but by the KGB, which is pressuring even harder for her parents to recruit the 14-year-old girl into the sleeper-spy fold.

 
  
 
 

Pop, 10:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: SCTV vets Catherine O’Hara and Eugene Levy reteam for TV in this new comedy series from the recently renamed and launched Pop network, in a sitcom co-created by Levy and his son, Dan Levy. The three of them, along with Annie Murphy as daughter Alexis, play a wealthy family who suddenly loses its fortune and moves to a small town the father once bought as a joke, because of its Schitt’s Creek name. Once they get to the town, they encounter the mayor, played by Chris Elliott, and such comically abrasive residents as the one played by Emily Hampshire, the Syfy 12 Monkeys co-star who’s a dead ringer for Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany. (Think how much money could have been saved in post-production on that clone-filled drama if it had cast them both.) To read and hear my full review of Schitt’s Creek on NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, visit the Fresh Air website.

 

 
  
 
 

FXX, 10:30 p.m. ET

Tonight’s episode has Jay Baruschel’s Josh, for the first time, having a girlfriend again – and a beautiful one, played by guest star Minka Kelly from Friday Night Lights. What’s the catch? Well, just in time for Valentine’s Day, it turns out to be explained by Cupid’s arrow – one that was intentionally misfired as an experiment in mismatched “love.”

When I read your article on this topic, the first thought seems profound and difficult. There is also a bulletin board for discussion of articles and photos similar to this topic on my site, but I would like to visit once when I have time to discuss this topic.

Awesome blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Many thanks!

I do accept as true with all the ideas you’ve offered to your post. They’re very convincing and can certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are very short for starters. May you please extend them a little from next time? Thank you for the post
