BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 
SHERLOCK

BBC America, 8:00 p.m. ET

SERIES REPEAT: If you missed, or would like to re-experience, the current rebooting of Sherlock Holmes, now’s your chance. PBS imported Sherlock originally, but now BBC America has acquired its rerun rights. So here it is again, beginning tonight with the episode that introduced Benedict Cumberbatch as the famous sleuth of Baker Street, and Martin Freeman as his often flustered associate, Dr. Watson.

 
  
 
 
EMPIRE

Fox, 9:01 p.m. ET

There are only a few episodes left, so expect the plot to boil over. This is not the kind of series to avoid going out with a bang – even if just for a seasonal break. Guest stars include Estelle (pictured).

 
  
 
 
CSI: CYBER

CBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Maybe you can help me on this one. I’ve been sifting through my memory – which, these days, is like sifting through a sieve – and can’t think of another instance, before tonight’s premiere of CSI: Cyber, in which an actor or actress starred in a new TV series almost immediately after winning an Oscar. Patricia Arquette did just that, after winning an Oscar for Boyhood, but there may be a catch. She started filming Boyhood even before starring in her previous TV series, Medium, so she’s been at this for quite a while. But is there an Oscar precedent in this regard? If so, tell me. Meanwhile, Arquette is indeed the star tonight, of the latest CBS procedural. For a review, see Uncle Barky's Bytes.

 
  
 
 
BROADCHURCH

BBC America, 10:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: This is complicated, but is worth sorting out. Broadchurch began as a British miniseries, imported by BBC America, starring David Tennant as a detective investigating a murder in a remote coastal town. Then Fox mounted an Americanized remake of it, called Gracepoint, also starring David Tennant – but with an American accent. Now he’s back in Season 2 of Broadchurch, back with his original accent, and a far superior crime drama that will pull you back in, completely, even before the opening credits begin. Olivia Coleman co-stars.

 
  
 
 
THE AMERICANS

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Callie Thorne continues her guest role as Tori in tonight’s episode, spending more time with Noah Emmerich’s Stan. Meanwhile, at his neighbor’s house, things are much more intense as Elizabeth is instructed to move against her husband, if she has to, in order to fully indoctrinate their daughter into the ways of the KGB.

 
  
 
 
MAN SEEKING WOMAN

FXX, 10:30 p.m. ET

Tonight’s episode features a pair of surrealistically amusing takes on relationships – good examples of why this series has been renewed for a Season 2. One comic observation is that new relationships are applied for, like college applications, and rejected just as dismissively. The other is that, when a potential soulmate is found, the temptation is to try to get too close too soon. Or, as the protagonist of this oddball series asks, “We spend so much time together, why not get surgically conjoined?”

Mastectomy recovery isn't a straight line. It's a series of small steps, some expected, some surprising, as your body heals and your life resets. In the first days, you're managing pain, drains, and sleep.

Definitely! For a home office, you want to reduce glare without making the room too dark. I'd recommend the Light Reflective Silver 50. It cuts the harshness on your screens but keeps the space feeling bright. I got mine from a great selection at https://www.tintfit.com/shop/reflective-window-film. The install was straightforward, and the difference is night and day

I was bored one night and decided to check this place out just for entertainment. Started with low bets just to see how it works and the vibe was pretty relaxed. After a while I got a couple of lucky spins and cashed out a nice little bonus for myself. Now when someone asks where you can play have fun and still pull some cash I just send them this link. https://tameraat.com.pk/1xbet-login/

Well my little buddha,

The best advice that I Can offer is to do as I did: watch a butt-load of TV, become a college professor talking about TV and get a guest gig on Fresh Air to talk about TV.

Lovingly,

Dave
