DOCTOR WHO: THE LOST EPISODE By David Bianculli

SPECIAL PREMIERE: Last fall, BBC America went back into its archives, and its bag of tricks, and emerged with something old and new: a restored version of the long-lost first adventure starring Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor. That serialized story was called “The Power of the Daleks,” and was brought back to life using surviving audio recordings and newly generated animation, based on still photos taken during production. Now BBC America is pulling the restoration trick again

GONE WITH THE WIND & UNCLE TOM'S CABIN By David Bianculli

I’m old enough, even as a working TV critic, to remember when NBC presented the first telecast of the 1939 epic Civil War saga Gone with the Wind (a two-part prime-time presentation that ranked, for a long while, as two slots on TV’s all-time highest-rated Top 10). TCM has shown Gone with the Wind enough times in recent years that its telecast no longer is news – although, with intermission and widescreen intact and with no commercial interruptions, it’s still one of the

TRIAL & ERROR: "LADY, KILLER" By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: In last year’s premiere season, Trial & Error starred John Lithgow as a defendant in a murder case, who, like the subjects of such probing and popular documentary miniseries as The Staircase and The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, didn’t always present his best image when cameras were rolling. But Lithgow’s Larry Henderson, on trial for murder in the small town of East Peck, SC, was exonerated, thanks in part to the work of defense attorney Josh

2018 ESPY AWARDS By David Bianculli

It’s been true for generations now, that some rock stars want to be movie stars and vice versa, and some athletes want to be all three. That’s why the ESPYS is such an interesting variation on the usual awards show circuit: It’s got plenty of representatives of celebrities from all three disciplines, and each one acts like an unabashed fan of the other. But expect some emotional moments too: awards are scheduled to be given to the female athletes who came forward to speak out a

SUITS By David Bianculli

SEASON PREMIERE: There have to be some major changes in store for Suits this year, because after last season, one of this show’s regulars, acting like a real princess, walked off the show. No, wait – technically, she walked off the show to become a real princess. And when Meghan Markle married Prince Harry this summer, the audience for that TV show was even bigger than last spring’s season finale of Suits. So what happens this year, and who are the new faces? Well, one of them
