BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Two seasons of this British series have been produced so far, and today Netflix presents them both. Rupert Grint stars as Daniel, whose doctor, played by Nick Frost, diagnoses him with terminal cancer. It’s a diagnosis that proves to be, so to speak, dead wrong – but both the doctor and his patient decide to keep silent, and keep everyone thinking Daniel is soon to shuffle off this mortal coil. Why? Because the doctor is embarrassed to admit he made such a dramatic mistake, and because Daniel, for the first time in his mistakenly shortened lifespan, is being treated well by others, including his ex-girlfriend, and his boss. For Season 1, the boss is played by Don Johnson of Miami Vice fame. For Season 2, meet the new boss, same as the old boss – but this time, played by Lindsay Lohan.

 
  
 
 

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

This cartoon first appeared on TV in 1969, so we’re not that far from its golden anniversary. And that may be a problem, because of the color as it relates to snowmen – as we were always warned as children, “Don’t eat the yellow snow.”

 
  
 
 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

There’s going to be a new Grinch movie this holiday season, and perhaps you’ve already soon one of the estimated 5,482,006 TV promo ads that have been run so far. But that’s even more reason to revisit this 1966 original, which was broadcast, for the first time, on Dec. 18, 1966. One week before Christmas, rather than, as with today’s repeat, more than a month. I’m just saying. It’s literally the day after Thanksgiving, and we’re already being fed Christmas specials…

If you've been tackling all of your academic assignments on your own, know that you may always ask for help by saying "take my online exam for me". If you're undergoing pressure for a long time because of difficult work or tight deadlines, don't let it bother you. You can ask experienced professionals for help.They will complete the difficult assignments for you.
