BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: This is the start of Season 3 for Simon Cowell's adapted-from-England singing competition series - and, for the third time, there's a massive makeover at the judges' table. L. A Reid and high-profile Season 2 addition Britney Spears are both gone, and returning judge Demi Lovato is joined for this new incarnation by two other young pop singers who share judging space with Cowell: former Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland and Latina star Paulina Rubino. Both of them have previous TV-competition experience: Rowland on the original U.K. version of The X Factor, and Rubino as a coach on the Mexican version of The Voice. Oh, and Cowell has made one other change for Season 3: He's dropped Chloe Kardashian as co-host, allowing Mario Lopez to go solo. That's undoubtedly an improvement - perhaps the best move since original American Idol co-host Brian Dunkleman was given the heave-ho, allowing Ryan Seacrest to step into the spotlight solo.

NOVA: "GROUND ZERO SUPERTOWER"

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: This venerable science series begins Season 41 with a show tied to today’s anniversary of 9/11. It’s about the construction of Ground Zero Supertower – and to review it, we dispatched our own in-house architect, Eric Gould, whose report appears in his latest Cold Light Reader dispatch. Check local listings.

THE PRESIDENTS' GATEKEEPERS

Discovery, 9:00 p.m. ET

For specific programming tied to 9/11, the places to go in prime time include the 24-hour news networks, as well as History (which repeats The Man Who Predicted 9/11 and 120 Minutes That Changed America) and National Geographic Channel (which presents George W. Bush: The 9/11 Interview, as well as 9/11: Where Were You? and a 9/11-focused installment of Witness). But there’s a coincidental connection to tonight’s new two-hour Discovery Channel documentary as well. The Presidents’ Gatekeepers, which concludes tomorrow night as interviews 20 former White House chiefs of staff, is the latest film by Gedeon and Jules Gaudet – the brothers who made that remarkable, ground-level, as-it-happened 9/11 film shown by CBS.

BROADCHURCH

BBC America, 10:00 p.m. ET

The longer the murder of little Danny goes unsolved, the more the town of Broadchurch is exposed to withering attention from national media. And investigators Ellie Miller and Alec Hardy, played by Olivia Colman and David Tennant, aren’t getting along much better with all that pressure.

THE BRIDGE

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

And now it’s personal. We know who the killer is, and so do Sonya and Marco (Diane Kruger and Demian Bachir), so that’s no longer the big mystery here. The big mystery has become this: Now that the devious murderer has abducted Marco’s son, can Marco and Sonya find a way to return the boy to safety?

[url=https://tagperfette.com]Orologi TAG Heuer Reissue[/url]It was fun streaming along, seeing if David knew what day it was, watching him build to a terrible pun. Every show ending with that Mickey Rooney grin. It was a minute or two with a friend, delivered every day to my inbox. For free!

Speaking of finding reliable information, I've been doing some research lately on platforms that are actually straightforward about their terms. It's amazing how much difference it makes when everything is clearly displayed upfront, especially with minimums and processing times. I came across https://thor-fortunes.org/ while comparing options, and the way they lay out their cashier details in EUR makes it easy to understand exactly what to expect before committing.
