2019 WORLD SERIES By David Bianculli

Wow. After last night’s intense Game 6, in which the Washington Nationals led, then were behind, then led again and emerged with a series-tying victory, the visiting team has won every game of this year’s World Series so far – six games in a row in which the home team has lost. In professional sports, that hasn’t happened since… well, it hasn’t happened before, ever. Period. So now it’s a World Series Game 7, which strategically and dramatica

MODERN FAMILY By David Bianculli

This episode is called “The Last Halloween,” and it is, indeed, the end of an era. An itsy bitsy little era, but still: Over its long, lauded, impressive and entertaining run, Modern Family has made the most of its annual Halloween episodes, picking up the mantle left behind by sister ABC sitcom Roseanne. In this final season, Modern Family has one chance left to pull off the ultimate Halloween prank, and give Claire (Julie Bowen) the scare she craves. A

THE CRY By David Bianculli

If you watched last week’s opening episode of this Sundance miniseries, you know the central mystery, and drama, behind this captivating tale of a married couple whose baby disappears while they’re on vacation in Australia. If you didn’t see last week’s episode yet, catch up on Sundance Now streaming or On Demand – but get caught up, because Jenna Coleman, in the leading role, is not to be missed. And tonight, she and the show get even more intense and exceptional.

ARSENIO HALL: SMART & CLASSY By David Bianculli

SPECIAL PREMIERE: It was back in 1992, when The Arsenio Hall Show was midway through its run as a syndicated talk show catering to a normally underserved urban, largely African-American audience, that presidential hopeful Bill Clinton showed up to slip on some shades, play some saxophone, and ultimately win the presidency. That was – take a deep breath – 27 years ago – and Hall is back, resurfacing with this new, intimate, reassuringly casual comedy standup special. H

2019 WORLD SERIES By David Bianculli

The Washington Nationals took the first two games of this World Series from the Houston Astros, even though Houston had home-field advantage. Then the contest moved east, where the Astros swept the next three games, even though the Nationals had home-field advantage. It’s only the third time in Series history that teams on the road have won the first five games – and tonight, for Game 6 and the remainder of the series, the venue switches again, moving back to Houston. Will the away t

BOB HEARTS ABISHOLA By David Bianculli

It’s taken this long, but tonight the on-again, off-again flirtation between the title characters rises to a new level: Bob takes Abishola on an actual date. But where? And how does it go? And, going straight to a place where a lot of this show’s humor is generated, what does her family think?

THE DEUCE By David Bianculli

SERIES FINALE: This is the end of the latest series from David Simon and company – which means, for sure, it’s the night’s very best bet. And though James Franco had a flashy dual role for much of The Deuce, the runaway star has turned out to be Maggie Gyllenhaal. Her character of Candy started this series as a defiantly independent street prostitute (pictured), and is ending it as a defiantly independent filmmaker of female erotica.
