BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

In tonight’s episode, Adam Goldberg (Sean Giambrone) sees the Mel Brooks Star Wars spoof, Spaceballs, and is so instantly and overwhelmingly in love with it that he starts a fan club at school. And somewhere in this episode, Rick Moranis, who played the hilariously attired Dark Helmet in Spaceballs, makes a special voice-only appearance – his first acting job in more than a decade.

 
  
 
 

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

The question asked tonight on NOVA Wonders is “Are We Alone?” Well, I can’t speak for the rest of the universe, but personally, yeah. Though I’m open to entertaining sincere inquiries… Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Last week’s episode contained the most chilling TV husband-and-wife argument since the final season of The Sopranos, when Tony threw Carmela against a wall. There was no violence this time – though there was later, when Philip practice sparred with daughter Paige to demonstrate she wasn’t as adept a close-combat fighter as she thought she was – but the emotions, on both sides, were seething. And tonight, though Elizabeth has made it clear she has little use for Philip right now, he’s figured out she really does need him on her current mission, if she’s to survive – so even though he just thwarted one of her secret objectives, tonight he joins her on another. Meanwhile, as this series and series gets closer to ending, Stan gets closer to finding out the truth about his sleeper Soviet suburban neighbors.

 
  
 
 

TBS, 10:30 p.m. ET

Last week, in a segment called “Greatest Feminists in Feminism Herstory,” Samantha Bee honed in on Sarah Huckabee Sanders. The segment was headlined “Part 1,” suggesting there was more to come. That’s good news – but there’s been so much other news this week already, I don’t expect an immediate reprise.

"Wordle is a fun and challenging word puzzle game where players have six chances to guess a five-letter word. With each guess, you'll receive feedback on which letters are correct and in the right position, helping you refine your guesses. It's a perfect way to test your vocabulary and enjoy a daily brain teaser!"

If you’re looking for a simple and natural way to shed some belly fat, okinawa flat belly tonic review might be your answer. I’ve noticed a flatter stomach without feeling deprived or starved.
