BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: Last week, this series overtly mentioned what Tony Stark did in creating Ultron, nearly destroying the planet as the run-amok metallic behemoth did in the currently running Avengers: Age of Ultron movie. This week, the focus in this two-hour finale is on which side Skye will choose in another powerful rising threat, which pits the survivors of S.H.I.E.L.D. (and there are fewer of those every week, as the body count continues to rise) against the increasingly militant Inhumans. “This is war!” screamed one at the cliffhanger last week. Tonight? The war itself, though S.H.I.E.L.D. already has won one battle: It’s been renewed for next season, along with its spinoff, Marvel’s Agent Carter.

 
  
 
 

Fox, 9:00 p.m. ET

On tonight’s live installment, the Top 3 singers (Clark Beckham, Jax, and Nick Fradiani) are pared down to the Top 2 finalists – one of whom, tomorrow night, will become the penultimate American Idol. That’s because Fox just announced that next season will be this show’s last. For my full report and reaction, visit the CNN website.
 
  
 
 

Comedy Central, 11:00 p.m. ET

Late night is especially rewarding this days, almost everywhere you turn. Tonight’s guest on The Daily Show is Tom Brokaw, who just hosted a touching prime-time Dateline NBC look at his own battle with cancer – which also is the topic of his latest book. But Stewart might take the time to ask Brokaw about another NBC anchor who, like Brokaw, has been a frequent Daily Show guest over the years: Brian Williams. We’ll see.

 
  
 
 

Comedy Central, 11:00 p.m. ET

This week, David Steinberg talks to two veteran comics who have reinvented themselves as actors, sometimes in dramatic movies: Michael Keaton and Dan Aykroyd.

 
  
 
 

CBS, 11:35 p.m. ET

After a handful of new programs, David Letterman’s Late Show will be over, and his final shows are crammed full of favorite guests as a result. Tonight, the scheduled lineup is so incongruous, you could make an entire, entertaining show just by broadcasting from a hidden camera in the green room: Dave’s guests are President Bill Clinton – and Adam Sandler.

Perilaku penipuan murni. Bajingan-bajingan ini tidak punya moral dan tidak ragu-ragu menipu orang lain.

Para penipu kelas rendah melakukan apa yang paling mereka kuasai—berbohong, menipu, dan menghilang dengan uang orang lain.

Sialan para penipu ini karena telah mencuri uang dan kepercayaan orang lain.

Para penipu ini adalah pembohong profesional. Siapa pun yang mempercayai mereka hanya ikut memperkuat penipuan mereka.
