BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 
2021 PRESIDENTIAL IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS

Various Networks, 9:00 a.m. ET

It was one week ago today when viewers were tuned in to catch the late-breaking returns in the second of two special election Senate races in Georgia, and to watch Congress certify the electoral college votes awarding the presidency to Joe Biden. And while Democrats ended up winning the Senate by taking both runoff races, and while Congress eventually certified Biden as the winner, something else happened last Wednesday. Something major. Something unthinkable. Something horrid. And because President Trump incited his followers to storm the U.S. Capitol one week ago, and because of what transpired before and after that assault, the House of Representatives had drafted an article of impeachment which they are scheduled to present today, unless Vice President Mike Pence invokes the 25th amendment. So expect to watch the House pass its impeachment resolution and send it on to the Senate. And even though that’s the second time in a year, this is no TV rerun. It is, however, first-draft history in the making, no matter what happens.
 
  
 
 
CALL YOUR MOTHER

ABC, 9:30 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: In this new ABC sitcom, Kyra Sedgwick plays an empty nest mom who decides to fly across the country to hover over her grown kids and help raise their respective families. Clearly a pre-pandemic concept, this sitcom also is so old-fashioned that it’s shot multi-camera in front of a studio audience, the I Love Lucy / Mom way. More than that, it's ABC’s only new midseason entry that’s scripted, rather than a reality, competition, game or quiz show. So that’s worth a mention, right? Hello? Where’d you go? For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.

Pelayanan paling anjing yang pernah kami alami. Setelah uang masuk, sikap berubah total. Komplain diabaikan, solusi tidak ada, dan tanggung jawab nol besar.

Hei bajingan, pergilah dan tiduri kuda yang kau tunggangi itu, lalu tinggalkan komunitas cinta dan damai yang berfokus pada TV ini.

Hormat saya,
