BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 
KEN BURNS' JAZZ

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

Part 4. This installment, focusing on the years 1929-35, is set during the first years of the Depression – bad times for everyday people, but wonderful times for jazz. Especially jazz recordings, which began to come into their own. Check local listings.

 
  
 
 
THE EIGHTIES: "RAISED ON TELEVISION"

CNN, 8:00 p.m. ET

This is a repeat of the two-hour opener of The Eighties, which launched last week with an episode all about television. I’m in it, and advised on it, and last Thursday, when it premiered, I finally saw it. And liked it, despite my own presence it in. So to all my friends and relatives who complain that I never give warning when I’m going to pop up on TV (which, believe me, is a rarity) – here you go. Consider yourself forewarned. And you loyal TVWW readers, since I did mention it here last Thursday when it premiered, consider yourselves, I guess, fivewarned.

 
  
 
 
NOTHING LEFT UNSAID: GLORIA VANDERBILT & ANDERSON COOPER

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

Usually, when Anderson Cooper is interviewing someone, he’s revealing a lot more about his subject than he is about himself. Not this time. Not when the person he’s interviewing is his mother, and not when his mother was, for a brief time, one of the more famous people of the early 20th century: the “Poor Little Rich Girl” at the heart of a bitter custody fight between her wealthy and high-profile parents. So when he interviews her – or talks to her, really – we learn a lot about both.

 
  
 
 
OUTLANDER

Starz!, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: I see England, I see France. I see that this time-travel romance series is back for another season, and moving to a new and more glamorous setting. See David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower for a full review, and for an interview with the show’s star, Caitriona Balfe.

 
  
 
 
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE

NBC, 11:29 p.m. ET

Russell Crowe is the guest host, and Margo Price is the musical guest. I think that’s the way you spell her name – let me check. Yep. The Price is right.

One other issue is when you are in a predicament where you would not have a co-signer then you may genuinely wish to try to exhaust all of your financing options. You can get many grants or loans and other grants that will give you finances to assist with school expenses. Thank you for the post.
