BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

Hulu, 3:00 a.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: The season’s final episode of The Handmaid’s Tale is televised tonight, with Offred (Elisabeth Moss) reaching neither the end of her journey nor the end of her rope. But the way things are going, inside and outside her prison-type household, things are getting very tense. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All along the Watchtower.

THE CARMICHAEL SHOW

NBC, 9:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s new episode is titled “Shoot-Up-Able,” and has Jarrod (Jarrod Carmichael) surviving a tragedy that requires police to visit the house to investigate. And when they show up, the reaction of the family members, to police and to the subject of guns, sets off another set of volatile, and very different, family reactions.

FARGO

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Last week’s Fargo episode was an amazing one, showing Nikki Swango (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and her determined escape from what seemed like a rendezvous with certain death – an escape aided by a character who has appeared now in all three Fargo miniseries. As for Ray Wise’s character, who chatted with Nikki on a plane and in a bar earlier in the season, showing up again in what may or may not have been a remote bowling alley, who can tell? But this is the next-to-last episode of Season 3 of Fargo, with Carrie Coon's intrepid officer (pictured) stubbornly closing in on the case, so strap in, and hold on tight. For a full review, see Alex Strachan's TV That Matters.

BLOOD DRIVE

Syfy, 10:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Syfy unveils its newest weekly series – this one a grindhouse homage that’s set in a dystopian future that’s actually a reimagined past: a Mad Max-ish 1999. Christina Ochoa stars, in a show that’s not to be taken at all seriously, but ranks high with its scenes of sex, violence, robots, and blowing things up. The “Farm Film” critics on SCTV would have loved it, because things on this show “blow up real good.” For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.

FULL FRONTAL WITH SAMANTHA BEE

TBS, 10:30 p.m. ET

To Bee or not to Bee? On the day after the attorney general testifies before a Senate committee, and on the day that happens to be President Donald Trump’s 71^st birthday, the answer, in terms of TV recommendations, is: definitely be a Do-Bee.

Holy Lolapalooza! It's been a semi-secret in my life that I like to GLAM UP and belt out a few tunes at my local watering hole. I didn't ever think that one of my FANS would stumble in to one of my performances!!! ROTFLMBFAO!!!!

Which song did you like best: Girls Just Want to Have Fun, or Highway to Hell?

Next time, please introduce yourself!! I promise, I don't bite!!!! (unless we both mutually agree that we would like that!!!!!)

Fondly yours in TV,

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
