BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Fox Sports 1, 10:00 a.m. ET

The 2016 U.S. Open leg of this year’s major golf championships begins today (and continues tomorrow) at 10 a.m. ET, with live coverage on Fox Sports 1. Its parent network, Fox, also provides coverage today and tomorrow, from 5-8 p.m. ET. The course is Pennsylvania’s Oakmont Country Club, where there are no water hazards, virtually no trees – and yet is such a difficult course that very few players are expected to break par.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

The first movie leading off tonight’s mini-marathon of film musicals is 1962’s Gypsy (pictured), starring Rosalind Russell and Natalie Wood. All the other film musicals tonight are from the Sixties as well, and all are landmarks. At 10:30 p.m. ET, it’s Barbra Streisand in 1968’s Funny Girl. At 1:15 a.m. ET, it’s Zero Mostel and Phil Silvers in 1966’s A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum. And at 3 a.m. ET, it’s Richard Harris and Vanessa Redgrave in 1967’s Camelot.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

LeBron James and Kyrie Irving put on quite a display in Game 5, becoming the first teammates in an NBA Finals game to score at least 40 points in the same game – and taking a game from the otherwise dominant Golden State Warriors, who now lead the series 3-2. Tonight’s game returns to Cleveland, and if James, Irving and the Cavaliers can ride home-court advantage to a victory tonight, they will have evened the series and set up an exciting Game 7 for this weekend. If not, the Warriors will silence the Cleveland crowd and win the title tonight. Either way, it’s a game to watch.

 
  
 
 

BBC America, 10:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: This has been an excellent season for Orphan Black, and for chameleonic star Tatiana Maslany, who this season introduced yet another character, Krystal (pictured), to her arsenal of alter egos. And tonight is the season finale, when several of those clones will end up in the same physical space, working with – or against – one another.

 
  
 
 

Crackle, 11:30 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: One of the smartest, funniest and slickest streaming series ever made returns tonight for Season 8, with an episode in which Jim Gaffigan is shepherded around by host Jerry Seinfeld in a 1977 VW camper bus.

A Secrets Tides Punta Cana Airport Transfer allows travelers to begin their vacation with comfort, convenience, and confidence. After arriving at Punta Cana International Airport, the last thing most visitors want is to spend time searching for transportation or waiting in long lines. Planning airport transportation before departure helps make the arrival process much easier and allows guests to continue directly to the resort.

Secrets Tides Punta Cana is situated in the beautiful Uvero Alto region, approximately 27 miles (44 kilometers) from Punta Cana International Airport. Depending on traffic, the drive usually takes around 45 to 55 minutes. Choosing a Secrets Tides Punta Cana Airport Transfer provides a direct route to the resort, avoiding unnecessary stops that are common with shared transportation.
