BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Two more fresh episodes are shown tonight – both of them set in 2017 where Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) and company will remain, at least for the remainder of this show’s NBC run. Which will end in 2015… but who’s counting?

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

Ronald Colman and Reginald Owen star in this 1935 adaptation of the Charles Dickens novel. It’s a very strong adaptation, but that shouldn’t be too surprising. Of all the authors who have put stories to paper, Dickens is the one whose works have been translated to film and TV the most successfully – and among the most often, because they’re so deliciously cinematic, and so bursting with interesting characters.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) gets reunited with her old wartime team, the Howling Commandos – which means a visit from “Dum Dum” Dugan, who’s played by Neal McDonough. He’s already played that character on film in Captain America: The First Avenger and, in flashbacks, on TV’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.  Tonight, he hits the trifecta.

 
  
 
 

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: Tonight’s show, the last of the (post-)season, will have the crew of commentators dissecting last Sunday’s big game – including, of course, why in the hell Seattle would opt to run a pass play on second and goal from the 1 yard line in the game’s final minute. Two days later, I still don’t get it.

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

What a superb episode. Tonight’s installment, the third hour of this final season for Justified, unspools one beautiful set piece after another: Ava and Boyd. Then Ava and Raylan. Then Boyd and Ty Walker, the new villain played by Garret Dillahunt. And then on and on it goes, until we get to fabulous scenes featuring two other characters new to this season, played by Sam Elliott and Mary Steenburgen. And all along, the type of dialogue that’s so rich, you want to chew on it for a while – as when Walt Goggins’ Boyd, wearily dismissing an early-morning visitor, drawls, “I don’t have the bandwidth for casual conversation.” Lines that good should be printed on tee shirts…

[url=https://tagperfette.com]Orologi TAG Heuer Reissue[/url]It was fun streaming along, seeing if David knew what day it was, watching him build to a terrible pun. Every show ending with that Mickey Rooney grin. It was a minute or two with a friend, delivered every day to my inbox. For free!

Speaking of finding reliable information, I've been doing some research lately on platforms that are actually straightforward about their terms. It's amazing how much difference it makes when everything is clearly displayed upfront, especially with minimums and processing times. I came across https://thor-fortunes.org/ while comparing options, and the way they lay out their cashier details in EUR makes it easy to understand exactly what to expect before committing.
