BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

LIVE IN FRONT OF A STUDIO AUDIENCE: NORMAN LEAR’S “ALL IN THE FAMILY” AND “THE JEFFERSONS”

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

SPECIAL PREMIERE: For a TV history professor, this is the mother lode: An ABC experiment in which episodes of two of Norman Lear’s groundbreaking 1970s comedies, All in the Family and its spinoff The Jeffersons, are performed and broadcast live. I like the casting – Woody Harrelson as Archie Bunker and Jamie Foxx as George Jefferson – because both have solid experience in sitcoms. And you couldn’t find a better sitcom director than James Burrows, period. Norman Lear and Jimmy Kimmel (whose idea this was, though it long post-dated my own concept for Rerun Theatre) host. For my full reaction to this upcoming production on NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, visit the Fresh Air website later today, or listen to today’s broadcast on your local public radio station.

ALL ABOUT “ALL IN THE FAMILY” AND “THE JEFFERSONS"

ABC, 9:31 p.m. ET

SPECIAL PREMIERE: After ABC’s 90-minute live special, in which scripts from vintage 1970s sitcoms are performed again with a new cast for a new generation, this special provides context and history regarding former hit CBS sitcoms All in the Family and The Jeffersons. You can get similar information and enlightenment in my TV History & Appreciation of the ‘60s and ‘70s classes at Rowan University – but ABC doesn’t require you to pay tuition. Not yet, anyway.

WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s episode is about the staging of the Biannual Vampire Orgy. I’m just guessing here, but I’m expecting something a lot less sexy than True Blood.

BROCKMIRE

IFC, 11:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: This Season 3 finale finds Brockmire (Hank Azaria) back at the big leagues at last – but that doesn’t mean it’s for long, or that it goes well. Again, I’m just guessing… but given Brockmire’s personal foibles and track record, it’s an educated guess.

Bu site, bonus saglayicisi kiligina girmis tam bir dolandiricilik. Asla gelmeyen sözde 'ücretsiz' bir bonus için çemberlerden atliyorsunuz. Tam bir çöp.

Bu web sitesi tam bir felaket. Sanki 2005'te tasarlanmis ve hiç güncellenmemis gibi. Sayfalarin yüklenmesi sonsuza kadar sürüyor, baglantilarin yarisi bozuk ve düzen hiç mantikli degil. Bir seyler yapmaya çalisarak bir saatten fazla zaman harcadim ve sonra hayal kirikligiyla pes ettim. Dürüst olmak gerekirse, bu bir saka.

Destek ekibi ilgisiz, bonusu alamayinca sorumluluk almiyorlar. Kalitesiz bir site.

Yalanlardan ve çöp tekliflerden baska bir sey yok. Basit bir deneme bonusu alacaginizi düsünerek kaydoluyorsunuz, ancak bunun yerine bir kosullar labirentinde sikisip kaliyorsunuz. Acinasi.
