BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Last night’s combination audition round and battle round was a smart move by The Voice, for two reasons. First, it elongated the audition round process, the best part of this series. Second, the battle rounds have coalesced into something more positive: complementary duets rather than undercutting dual solos. Last night’s highlight was the battle in which Bryan Bautista and Malik Heard teamed, rather than battled, on “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World” – with Bautista selected as the winner, and the other three judges jumping in immediately to fight for the right to “steal” the so-called loser. That made Monday’s show especially interesting – and tonight’s installment, potentially, offers more of the same.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

Tonight and tomorrow, TCM celebrates Jerry Lewis’ 90th birthday by showing prime-time marathons of his films. That’s not a surprise – TCM does that sort of thing all the time. What’s surprising is that, tonight and tomorrow, Lewis himself is on hand to preside over, and comment upon, the films. Tonight focuses on some of the movies made with Dean Martin, starting at 8 p.m. ET with 1952’s The Stooge, followed at 10 ET by 1953’s The Caddy. But stay up late, or set your recorder, for the midnight movie: 1956’s less commonly known (and televised) Artists and Models, in which Martin uses Lewis’ dreams to fuel the plots of what becomes a best-selling comic strip. And no wonder, since some of those visions are played by Anita Ekberg (pictured, with Martin and Lewis), Shirley MacLaine, Eva Gabor and Dorothy Malone.
 
  
 
 

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

Last week’s midseason premiere was more complicated than satisfying, but did set up the upcoming war between the heroes and the inhumans – and teasing, with the promo for tonight’s episode, not only the new powers of an old adversary, but the introduction of even more strange adversaries with equally strange powers. Once we get the scorecard, we can finally get down to the actual chess match.

 
  
 
 

Fox, 9:30 p.m. ET

This is a rerun, but one that shows off the fast-developing chemistry between Rob Lowe and Fred Savage as brothers Dean and Stewart. In this episode, the brothers take to the road, where Dean tries to outdistance his celebrity past – except when it comes in handy, after being stopped for speeding.

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Episode 7. Up until now, I’ve seen this show in advance, but that ended last week – so tonight, I’ll be watching with you, wondering what comes next even while being fully aware of the ultimate conclusion. It takes a strong script, and a strong cast, to pull off that particular magic trick – but it happened with All the President’s Men, and it’s happening again here. And in tonight’s episode, so far as plots go, all you need is glove…

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

One other issue is when you are in a predicament where you would not have a co-signer then you may genuinely wish to try to exhaust all of your financing options. You can get many grants or loans and other grants that will give you finances to assist with school expenses. Thank you for the post.
