BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Shout Factory TV, 3:00 a.m. ET

All 11 hilarious seasons of The Carol Burnett Show, which premiered on CBS in 1967 and ran until 1978, are about to become available as a streaming offering, for the first time, on the Shout! Factory website and YouTube channel, beginning Monday, June 1. To promote and celebrate the launch, Shout! is presenting a 48-hour marathon of Carol Burnett Show programs, sampling highlights from the entire run. Tune in, and it’ll be very difficult to tune out. And afterward, you’ll be so glad you had that time together…
 
  
 
 

Freeform, 1:15 p.m. ET

Hungry for some movie franchise entertainment? Or maybe your teen kids are? Today on Freeform, 2012’s The Hunger Games is being televised at 1:15 p.m. ET, followed immediately, and sequentially, by all three sequels. Jennifer Lawrence stars as Katniss Everdeen.
 
  
 
 

Various Networks, 2:00 p.m. ET

This space launch from Cape Canaveral, the first such U.S.-based mission in a decade, was originally scheduled for last Wednesday, in the late afternoon – but I didn’t even list it in my Best Bets that day, because I grew up in Florida, and the idea of a late afternoon in late May without a rainstorm just seemed hugely against the odds. And yes, as easily predicted, cloud cover and rain scrubbed the launch that day – but the private-government partnership of SpaceX and NASA has rescheduled it today, a few hours earlier. I’m just as doubtful this one will work, given the general weather (and the specific weather, too, as pictured). But if the weather doesn’t interfere again, Discovery Channel and the Science Channel will provide live coverage, and it could be shown on CNN and MSNBC and Fox News Channel as well, but only if the metaphorical storm clouds over Minneapolis clear up for the day.
 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

Sumptuous photography, beautiful choreography, and a fabulous story worthy of the fable that inspired it, this 1948 film, starring Moira Shearer as a magically driven ballerina, is a wonder. And if you’ve never seen it, today should be the day. It’s one of the few positive side effects of a lengthy shelter-at-home stretch: finally getting around to reading some of those literary classics and catching up on some classic music and TV. That’s the theory, anyway…

A Secrets Tides Punta Cana Airport Transfer allows travelers to begin their vacation with comfort, convenience, and confidence. After arriving at Punta Cana International Airport, the last thing most visitors want is to spend time searching for transportation or waiting in long lines. Planning airport transportation before departure helps make the arrival process much easier and allows guests to continue directly to the resort.

Secrets Tides Punta Cana is situated in the beautiful Uvero Alto region, approximately 27 miles (44 kilometers) from Punta Cana International Airport. Depending on traffic, the drive usually takes around 45 to 55 minutes. Choosing a Secrets Tides Punta Cana Airport Transfer provides a direct route to the resort, avoiding unnecessary stops that are common with shared transportation.
