BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

This Nature miniseries, using animatronic “creatures” which are shown interacting with actual animals in the wild, continues tonight with an installment called “Bad Behavior.” And I don’t think it refers to the behavior of what I like to call the creaturobots. Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

BET, 8:00 p.m. ET

Part 3 of 3. There’s been a lot of suffering and injustice in this miniseries biography of Nelson Mandela, played by Laurence Fishburne, but tonight’s concluding installment is when triumph arrives, and Mandela’s long struggle for equality for his people finally is rewarded.

 
  
 
 

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

Nova is a science show, so tonight’s installment, The Origami Revolution, implicitly asks the question, is there a science to the art of origami? Of course there is. As Kenny Rogers sang so long ago, “You’ve got to know when to fold ’em.” Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

This nonfiction miniseries about passenger airlines and flight – how we get and stay aloft, and how that intricate international pathway of flights is established and maintained – continues to be explored in tonight’s episode. It’s called “Airborne,” so get ready to be taken up, up, and away. Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Noah Hawley’s newest TV series, a major triumph of the 2017 TV year, presents its second episode. It’ll clarify many of the mysterious elements of last week’s stunningly dense, visually dazzling premiere, but also adds more mysteries of its own. And some more characters, including a deeper understanding of Melanie (Jean Smart), who in tonight’s episode tries to guide David (Dan Stevens) into a detailed reevaluation of his past.

 
  
 
 

TBS, 10:30 p.m. ET

Every week, I think, well, this is a week that Samantha Bee can really sink her satiric teeth into. And every week, I think it again, almost exponentially…

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,

Dave
