The best night of the week for television once was Saturday, when “All In the Family” and “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” ruled CBS.
NBC called its Thursday night shows like “Cheers,” “The Cosby Show,” “Hill Street Blues” and “L.A. Law” “Must see TV.” ABC once declared TGIF with its Friday night lineup of “Full House” and “Family Matters” and now gives its Thursday night shows “Scandal” and “Grey’s Anatomy,” a #TGIT hashtag.
But now there’s is only one truly great night for television, and it’s Sunday. So set your DVR.
As one of the best network shows “The Good Wife,” barrels toward completion of another consequential season, HBO unloads its triple play of quality programing: the return of “Game of Thrones,” “Veep” and “Silicon Valley.”
Go to the highlighted hyperlinks for reviews of each.
And they are followed by John Oliver’s topical comedy news show “Last Week Tonight,” whose coup last Sunday – an interview with Edward Snowden would, as noted, have made both Comedy Central and “Meet the Press ” proud.
But if you’d rather go to the movies this weekend check out actual film reviews below.
They’ve got words and star ratings. Rare these days. Accept no substitute.
