BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

FX, 2:00 p.m. ET

MINISERIES MARATHON: If you’re interested in the O.J. Simpson saga, you can make a day of it today. A full day. Beginning at 2 p.m. ET, FX is repeating, in its entirety, its excellent American Crime Story miniseries dramatization, The People v. O.J. Simpson, featuring what almost has to be an Emmy-nominated performance by Sarah Paulson as Simpson prosecutor Marcia Clark. This drama repeat continues through prime time – but by then, it’ll have some very familiar new competition.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

NONFICTION MINISERIES PREMIERE: ESPN’s 30 on 30 series presents a multi-part documentary examination of O.J. Simpson, a new take by director Ezra Edelman. (He directed HBO’s excellent documentary about the Magic Johnson-Larry Bird rivalry and friendship, Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals.) ESPN’s parent company thought so much of this new documentary that, before showing the rest of the installments on ESPN, it’s launching the miniseries tonight on ABC, in prime time, with a two-hour opener.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

It’s a fair night over at TCM, where a couple of prime-time movies are presented that have to do with world’s fairs. 1944’s Meet Me in St. Louis is a period piece starring Judy Garland, and directed by her husband, Vincente Minnelli. It’s set in the year before St. Louis hosted the 1904 World’s Fair, and tracks the events leading up to it, as seen by a regular St. Louis family. This musical is the source for both “The Trolley Song” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”

 
  
 
 

TCM, 10:00 p.m. ET

This 1963 movie was set at the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle, and filmed on location as a publicity stunt for the fair. Elvis Presley stars – and one of his costars is young Yvonne Craig, who in a few years would don purple tights and a wig to play Batgirl on ABC’s Batman.

Para penipu ini benar-benar bajingan, berbohong kepada orang-orang dan mencuri uang seperti penipu kotor yang sebenarnya.
