BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 
THE CIRCUS: INSIDE THE GREATEST POLITICAL SHOW ON EARTH

Showtime, 8:00 p.m. ET

This week’s show, recapping the lead-up to the very recent Democratic and Republican debates, ought to be especially interesting – and this program, as usual, ought to find new angles with which to explore them.

 
  
 
 
THE GOOD WIFE

CBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

Last Sunday, CBS dropped a stunner of a surprise during its Super Bowl ad for The Good Wife, saying these final episodes of the season would be the show’s last, period. And the last servings of The Good Wife begin tonight, with Alicia returning to her old firm (again), so savor. For his take on the end of The Good Wife, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.
 
  
 
 
MASTERPIECE: "DOWNTON ABBEY"

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

They certainly are packing lots into these final episodes of Downton Abbey. Tonight, not only does Mrs. Patmore preside over the grand opening of her off-estate bed and breakfast inn, but Henry Talbot takes to the race track behind the wheel of a sports car – which, understandably, makes car-crash widow Mary understandably nervous. All this, and a dog, too! Check local listings.

 
  
 
 
THE WALKING DEAD

AMC, 9:00 p.m. ET

MIDSEASON RETURN: When last we saw our harried heroes on this show, they had just lathered themselves with zombie guts, and were walking, hand in hand, through a horde of the undead, using the old humans-in-zombie-intestines trick. Will it work again? And even if it does, what comes next? And where do they go next? For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.
 
  
 
 
VINYL

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: The two-hour premiere of this new series, set in New York in the music world of the 1970s, is directed by Martin Scorsese, with Boardwalk Empire creator Terence Winter co-scripting and Mick Jagger as one the executive producers and guiding forces. It’s told in 10- parts, with plenty of room for future seasons, but this introductory installment is more perfunctory and predictable than you’d expect from these artists. But because of these artists, don’t give up on it just yet. Bobby Cannavale, Olivia Wilde star. For the full story, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower and Ed Bark's Uncle Barky's Bytes.
 
  
 
 
ADELE LIVE IN LONDON

BBC America, 10:30 p.m. ET

Remember seeing the Video Worth Watching in which Graham Norton hosts a surprise event in which Adele lookalikes and sort of sound-alikes compete for a job impersonating her? The one in which the real Adele is sneaked in as part of the mix? Well, whether you do or not, this is the British TV special from which that was taken. And now it’s here, on BBC America, along with Adele singing as herself, as well.

 
  
 
 
LAST WEEK TONIGHT WITH JOHN OLIVER

HBO, 11:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: This week’s show, recapping the lead-up to the very recent Democratic and Republican debates, ought to be especially interesting – and this program, as usual, ought to find new angles with which to explore them. (Yes, you’ve read this before – but this time the topical humor is intentional.)

Exploring a collection of Asexual-themed merchandise is fantastic! It's essential to have representation and support for all identities. Whether it's T-shirts featuring empowering slogans or mugs with inclusive designs, having merchandise that celebrates asexual identity is meaningful for many individuals. Plus, the fact that these items are designed and printed in the USA with a satisfaction guarantee ensures both quality and reliability. It's wonderful to see such support and inclusivity in merchandise offerings. Do you have a favorite piece of asexual-themed merchandise you've encountered?
