BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

Sundance, 5:30 p.m. ET

PREMIERE SPECIAL: Mammas is the third entry in actress Isabella Rossellini’s daring and darling Green Porno series of shorts, in which she dresses up as various creatures to explain their natural behaviors. Anyone can launch a web series – but when the star of Blue Velvet does it, she uses an actual giant web, and dresses up as a spider. As a Mother’s Day treat, Sundance is showing these Mammas web shorts as a special, and it’s definitely something to watch with the whole family, bizarre as it is. There hasn’t been an actress with this original a vision for a family TV series since Shelley Duvall launched Faerie Tale Theatre. For a taste of Mammas, see Video Worth Watching.

ONCE UPON A TIME

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: Lost was the last ABC series to reset itself, time and time again, with its season finales — often resetting time and space in the process. Tonight's Season 2 finale of Once Upon a Time does just that, by once again redefining the show's central curse. And if the titles of the past two episodes are any indication, plus the appearance of Hook and the Lost Boys, we may be heading straight for Neverland.

10 BUILDINGS THAT CHANGED AMERICA

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

This special looks at 10 U.S. buildings whose architecture had a major impact on subsequent styles. For a full review, see Cold Light Reader by our own Eric Gould, who’s not only a TV critic, but an architect as well. Check local listings.

MAD MEN

AMC, 10:00 p.m. ET

Last week’s episode was a surprise game-changer, merging the two agencies so that Don and Peggy (Jon Hamm, Elisabeth Moss) will be working together once more. And here comes another game-changer, I suspect: Mad Men has been tiptoeing, none too subtly, towards one of the most major and tragic events of the summer of 1968: the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. It doesn’t necessarily happen tonight, but the events on Mad Men are so close, I’m betting it is. And it ought to change everything on this series – because, back then, it changed everything for everyone.

FAMILY TREE

HBO, 10:30 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: This eight-part TV series from Christopher Guest has its own pitch, tone and pace – but if you’re a fan of Guest’s politely strange sense of humor (and I certainly am), this tale of a 30-year-old U.K. slacker (played by Chris O’Dowd) suddenly exploring his family tree is loaded with delights. For a full review, see Bianculli’s Blog.

Bu web sitesi tam bir felaket. Sanki 2005'te tasarlanmis ve hiç güncellenmemis gibi. Sayfalarin yüklenmesi sonsuza kadar sürüyor, baglantilarin yarisi bozuk ve düzen hiç mantikli degil. Bir seyler yapmaya çalisarak bir saatten fazla zaman harcadim ve sonra hayal kirikligiyla pes ettim. Dürüst olmak gerekirse, bu bir saka.

Destek ekibi ilgisiz, bonusu alamayinca sorumluluk almiyorlar. Kalitesiz bir site.

Bu site tam bir karmasa. Yavas, aksak ve açikça sifir çabayla yapilmis. Bunu tasarlayan kisi açikça kullanici deneyimini düsünmemis. Çevrimiçi olarak basit bir sey yapmaya çalisirken hiç bu kadar sinirlenmemistim. Tamamen ise yaramaz ve kimsenin zamanina degmez.

Birçok bahis sitesi kullandim, ancak bu en yaniltici olanin tacini aliyor. 'Ücretsiz bonus'? Daha çok sahte bir yem gibi. Igrenç taktikler.

With a quick visit to the kinogoby website, I stumbled upon a collection of documentaries that promised to enlighten and inspire. Intrigued by the prospect of delving into the depths of human experience, I selected a film that explored the wonders of the natural world
