BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Fox Movie Channel, 8:00 p.m. ET

This 2007 full-length Simpsons cartoon film is a joy to watch no matter what you’re paying special attention to. This time, though, I’d like you to note that part of this plot has to do with the residents of Springfield being trapped under an impenetrable dome – years before Stephen King got around to the same idea with Under the Dome.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s collection of Johnny Carson Tonight Show interviews, presented by Conan O’Brien, begins at 8 p.m. ET with a 1980 interview with Henry Fonda. Set your recorders for 3:30 a.m. ET, and you’ll be able to watch Fonda play the President of the United States in a riveting 1964 drama, Fail-Safe, opposite Larry Hagman. Meanwhile, other Carson interviews tonight are a 1992 chat with Elizabeth Taylor (at 8:12 p.m. ET), a 1974 conversation with Susan Sarandon (8:24 p.m. ET), a 1976 talk with William Holden (at 8:36 p.m. ET), and a 1980 visit with Goldie Hawn (at 8:48 p.m. ET).

 
  
 
 

CBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

This can’t be good: On tonight’s show, the inside-the-dome town’s water supply is compromised. Water they going to do now?

 
  
 
 

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

This week’s documentary provides the POV, or Point of View, of three people on different points on the autism spectrum. Paula is an adult, Nicholas is a teen, and Violet is four years old. How do they perceive, and deal with, their behavioral and perceptual differences? That’s one focus of this program, which also challenges viewers to redefine their concepts of “normal.” Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

Sundance, 10:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Refreshingly, this new series from Sundance, hosted by Jim Rash and focusing each week TV writers from a different current series, is more informed discussion than fan fest. Where, say, AMC’s The Talking Dead feels more like a small-screen Comic-Con, this show is hosted by Community actor Jim Rash, who won an Oscar for writing The Descendants. Jess Cagle from Entertainment Weekly comes in at the end with a few final questions, but Rash holds court nicely throughout. The only complaint is that this discussion – tonight’s opener features Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, the writing team and star Bryan Cranston – takes place on a mockup set, rather than on location in each show’s real writing rooms. Why not visit these writers in their natural habitat, which would, in and of itself, say a lot?

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.
