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…

THE HUNGER GAMES MARATHON

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.

SPACE LAUNCH LIVE

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.

THE RED SHOES

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…
