BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

NBC, 9:00 a.m. ET

A TV tradition, and a good one – as background visual wallpaper for the holiday, if nothing else. Happy Thanksgiving!

 
  
 
 

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

Jane Lynch and Hilary Swank co-host this celebration of, and adoption benefit program for, rescue dogs.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 8:00 p.m. ET

More clever than you might expect it to be – certainly, it was more clever than I expected it to be – this 2014 comedy is scheduled nicely as a family movie to enjoy on Thanksgiving night. The kids will like it, and so will their parents and grandparents.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 8:30 p.m. ET

This is the third game in today’s NFL triple-header, and it’s the one most eagerly awaited. Both the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers are 7-4, and these teams are meeting for the first time since last year’s NFC Championship. Seattle won that game, after a very tough fight, so this game is personal.

 
  
 
 

Comedy Central, 10:00 p.m. ET

Stephen Colbert, Larry Wilmore and the stars of Key & Peele are on hand for this new special, which is produced by Funny or Die. Nothing like a Christmas special on Thanksgiving night to make the transition from one holiday to the next – and it’s a transition this Comedy Central special is likely to make fun of, before anyone else has to.

Para penipu ini adalah pembohong profesional. Siapa pun yang mempercayai mereka hanya ikut memperkuat penipuan mereka.
