BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

I’m really enjoying this season of The Voice – partly because all four judges this year have found a way to interact playfully, and partly because the talent is markedly above this show’s norm. The singer they saved until last in the most recent installment, India Carney, knocked it out of the park with her rendition of Billy Joel’s “New York State of Mind,” leaving all four judges desperate to sign her. Christina Aguilera won that battle, because she was one of that contestant’s childhood idols – but this year, the competition among singers, and judges, should be especially fierce.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

The Artist, the Best Picture Oscar winner in 2012, was the first silent film to win that award since Wings won it in the first Best Picture Oscar ever handed out, in 1927. Tonight in prime time, TCM repeats it. The Artist, not Wings.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

SERIES RETURN: After burrowing away for a period of dormancy so ABC could show Marvel’s Agent Carter, the network is picking up with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., back where it left off – and poised to introduce a group of new characters familiar from the old Sixties era of Marvel Comics. To reveal more would be… Inhuman.

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

This series, the way it’s chugging on all cylinders in its final season, might as well be retitled Satisfied – because that’s how I feel as and after I watch it. Great acting, great writing, and a story that I’m not even trying to predict and work out in advance. Tonight, though, Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) gets to spend some time with the new female in his life: his baby daughter.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 10:00 p.m. ET

After showing the 2012 Best Picture Oscar winner in prime time, by presenting The Artist, TCM makes it a golden-statue double feature by following that with the winner from 2011: The King’s Speech, starring Colin Firth as (Royal Spoiler Alert) King George VI.

It is a good site post without fail. Not too many people would actually, the way you just did. I am impressed that there is so much information about this subject that has been uncovered and you’ve defeated yourself this time, with so much quality. Good Works!
