BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

TBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

It’s Game 3 of the ALCS, and the Kansas City Royals have a 2-0 advantage in this series over the Baltimore Orioles, so you’d think things, for the Royals, couldn’t be better. Except they can, and are. Tonight’s game is played in the team’s home stadium – the first pennant game to be played on home turf by the Royals since 1985. No wonder they look like they’re enjoying themselves so much. But maybe it also helps that in two games played thus far against the Orioles, the team has yet to be behind.

 
  
 
 

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

In tonight’s episode, there’s a return trip to Vegas – but especially with the ladies, what happens in Vegas is not likely to stay in Vegas. Not with some internal jealousies bubbling to the surface.

 
  
 
 

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

This new series continues to live up to the distinctive look and tone of the pilot – and tonight, we see Oswald Cobblepot get promoted from kitchen help to a management position. And at the same time, elsewhere in Gotham, auditions are held for another job vacancy as well.

 
  
 
 

CW, 9:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: It’s one of the last of the new fall series to arrive from the broadcast networks, and comes from the undersized CW network – yet Jane the Virgin, which premieres tonight and is based on a Venezuelan telenovela, is among the very best of the fresh offerings from broadcast TV this season. Gina Rodriguez stars in the title role, playing a young adult who was heeding her family’s advice to embrace chastity until marriage – until, while in a doctor’s office for an unrelated checkup, she’s mistakenly impregnated via artificial insemination. The premise is far-fetched, the characters and actors endearing, the mixture of comedy, parody and tenderness thoroughly winning. For a full review, see Ed Bark’s Uncle Barky’s Bytes.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 10:00 p.m. ET

Last week, Paul Reubens guest starred on The Blacklist – and this week, he does it again. Scream real loud!

Right here is the right site for anyone who wishes to
understand this topic. You realize so much its almost hard to
argue with you (not that I really will need to…HaHa). You
definitely put a fresh spin on a topic that has been written
about for decades. Wonderful stuff, just excellent!

Mastectomy recovery isn't a straight line. It's a series of small steps, some expected, some surprising, as your body heals and your life resets. In the first days, you're managing pain, drains, and sleep.

Definitely! For a home office, you want to reduce glare without making the room too dark. I'd recommend the Light Reflective Silver 50. It cuts the harshness on your screens but keeps the space feeling bright. I got mine from a great selection at https://www.tintfit.com/shop/reflective-window-film. The install was straightforward, and the difference is night and day

I was bored one night and decided to check this place out just for entertainment. Started with low bets just to see how it works and the vibe was pretty relaxed. After a while I got a couple of lucky spins and cashed out a nice little bonus for myself. Now when someone asks where you can play have fun and still pull some cash I just send them this link. https://tameraat.com.pk/1xbet-login/

Well my little buddha,

The best advice that I Can offer is to do as I did: watch a butt-load of TV, become a college professor talking about TV and get a guest gig on Fresh Air to talk about TV.

Lovingly,

Dave
