NATURE: "INVASION OF THE GIANT PYTHONS" By David Bianculli

Since the summer is loaded with repeats anyway, why not give a little attention to this Nature repeat from a few years ago. As a young man, I spent one summer mapping the Everglades as a member of the U.S. Geological Survey crew, so I’ve always been fascinated by the plant and animal life in the Glades. This hour looks at a species that is thriving in the Everglades, but isn’t native to the region: It’s the Burmese python, a snake so big, and so tough, that it can swallow an al

SERENITY By David Bianculli

Nathan Fillion is doing just fine as Castle on ABC, but the series he should have starred in for years, before that, was Firefly, the Joss Whedon outer-space Western in which Fillion starred as the rogue-ish captain of a rebel ship on the fringes of both the universe and the law. Firefly premiered on Fox in 2002, and was canceled after one season – but Whedon stubbornly, and valiantly, revived the franchise for a single, big-screen movie called Serenity, with the same cast, in 2005.

E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL By David Bianculli

Summer TV, to me, becomes official as the movies I associate with summer start popping up on television. Jaws is the apex of this, but other blockbuster movies also fill the bill – and this other Steven Spielberg epic, from 1982, will do nicely. (Side note: It was a very weird, meta, but funny bit at Sunday’s Tony Awards, when Kristin Chenoweth, in one of a series of costume changes saluting the year’s dramas, came out dressed as E.T. to allude to the musical Fun Home, which to

ROAD TO SINGAPORE By David Bianculli

TCM is saluting “Pin-Up Girls” every Wednesday this month, and tonight’s lineup includes a 10 p.m. ET showing of that Bob Hope and Bing Crosby road-picture comedy, which takes place in the Far East and co-stars a scantily, and memorably, clad Dorothy Lamour. Ardest feminists may take umbrage regarding the character, the costumes, even the TCM programming theme – but I say, especially regarding the costuming, what’s sarong with that?

2015 NBA FINALS By David Bianculli

This may sound like hyperbole, but it isn’t. At this point in the 2015 NBA Finals, there has never been another final series as competitively played as this one. That’s because, until the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers played their first two games, no teams in NBA Finals history have ever pushed both of the first two games to overtime – much less split them. So now the action moves to Cleveland, where you can expect both teams, once again, to give as hard as they

IZOMBIE By David Bianculli

SEASON FINALE: In this final new episode of the first season, Liv (Rose McIver) has to protect her brother, who’s unwittingly become involved with her evil zombie nemesis. Meanwhile, as usual, she’s got a case to solve, which means another diet of memory-tapping brains.
