BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 
CHELSEA DOES

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Chelsea Handler’s new Netflix documentary series, Chelsea Does, drops today: all four episodes, each devoted to a separate topic: marriage, racism, drugs, and technology. If you’re a fan of Chelsea Lately, you know what to expect. If not, expect some rather freewheeling conversations, especially on this uncensored streaming platform.

 
  
 
 
SESAME STREET

HBO, 9:00 a.m. ET

Just a reminder: If you’re looking for Sesame Street, you can find new episodes here, and, for a while, here only: Saturday mornings on HBO. Today’s show is brought to you by the letter “P” – for Premium, as in cable, or Privileged, as in viewership.

 
  
 
 
ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES

BBC America, 8:00 p.m. ET

Alan Rickman, who died last week at age 69, was most famous for playing villains – and among those villains, most famous of all for opposing Bruce Willis in the first Die Hard and for playing Professor Severus Snape in the Harry Potter films. But here’s another example, where he plays an excellent villain in a less than excellent movie: 1991’s Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, in which he plays the Sheriff of Nottingham to Kevin Costner’s Robin.

 
  
 
 
WHITNEY CUMMINGS: I'M YOUR GIRLFRIEND

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

Whitney Cummings, after starring in one broadcast network series (NBC’s Whitney) and creating another (CBS’s 2 Broke Girls), gets her first HBO special. Given the quality level of her other two vehicles, let’s see what she does with this one. Hopefully, a bit more…

 
  
 
 
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE

NBC, 11:29 p.m. ET

One of my two wishes for this show, which is hosted by former UFC bantamweight champion Rhonda Rousey, is that Tina Fey will show up to play Sarah Palin in a spoof of the real Palin’s endorsement this week of Donald Trump. My second wish is that, after the snowstorm, I’ll still have power to be able to watch it. Musical guest: Selena Gomez.

Para penipu kelas rendah melakukan apa yang paling mereka kuasai—berbohong, menipu, dan menghilang dengan uang orang lain.

Manusia sampah sejati, memangsa orang-orang tak berdosa hanya untuk mengisi kantong mereka yang serakah. Sungguh memalukan.

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!

Perilaku penipuan murni. Bajingan-bajingan ini tidak punya moral dan tidak ragu-ragu menipu orang lain.

Hanya sekelompok penipu lain yang melakukan bisnis kotor secara online.
