BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 
HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE HEARING

Various Networks, 10:00 a.m. ET

Today at 10 a.m. ET, on every news channel and conceivably on a bunch of other networks, Michael Cohen, former attorney for Donald Trump, is scheduled to testify live before the House Oversight Committee Hearing. Is this a significant day in the history of this presidency and this nation? Or just another day of swirling questions, allegations and conflicting arguments? By the end of the day, we may well know.

 
  
 
 
THE MASKED SINGER

Fox, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: The most popular reality competition series in years, since the premiere of The Voice, presents its Season 1 finale tonight, unmasking its final, and thus most talented, singer. And yes, The Masked Singer already has been renewed for next season. And yes, I told you so… though, trying to pinpoint this show’s appeal (even to myself), I had a hard time explaining why.

 
  
 
 
BIOGRAPHY: THE TRUMP DYNASTY

A&E, 9:00 p.m. ET

Part 3 of 3. This concluding chapter of The Trump Dynasty brings the story of Donald Trump’s family up to date – up to a point. Because, as we all know, this family’s history is still being written. A significant chapter, in fact, is being written today, both in Washington, DC and halfway around the world in Hanoi…

 
  
 
 
DOCUMENTARY NOW: “CO-OP”

IFC, 11:00 p.m. ET

I’ve seen only two scenes from this new episode of the faux documentary series Documentary Now, but they’re both delightful in their audacity and, to the original inspiration, fidelity. (Can’t wait to see the entire show tonight.) Host Helen Mirren is presenting, in this installment, a 1970s-vintage (fake) film account of a cast recording for a (nonexistent) Broadway musical called Co-Op. The musical is about a group of characters inhabiting the same apartment building – and both the musical and the film about its cast recording are direct homages to, and spoofs of, Stephen Sondheim’s landmark Company musical, whose marathon cast recording was captured for posterity, brilliantly, in filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker’s 1970 documentary, Original Cast Album: Company. Guest actors having a blast doing their own version of that film include John Mulaney, Taran Killam, Richard Kind (who's been in an actual Sondheim production of Bounce), Renee Elise Goldsberry from Hamilton, and, taking on the Elaine Stritch persona of a talented but stressed-out diva in meltdown mode, Paula Pell. What detail. What music. And, for Sondheim fans, what fun!

Marine lubricants are specialized oils and greases formulated to meet the demanding requirements of marine engines and equipment operating in harsh oceanic environments. These lubricants are essential for reducing friction and wear in ship engines, propulsion systems, and auxiliary equipment, ensuring efficient performance and prolonged machinery life. They come in various types, including trunk piston engine oils (TPEO) for medium-speed engines and system oils for crosshead engines. Marine lubricants must possess excellent thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and detergency to withstand extreme pressures, high temperatures, and exposure to saltwater.
