BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

Audrey Hepburn month on TCM continues, filling every Monday in June with her memorable motion pictures. The evening starts tonight with one of her most famous of all: 1961’s light take on Truman Capote’s story about the lighthearted Holly Golightly (Capote referred to her loose lifestyle as that of an “American geisha”). Watch for Hepburn’s effortless on air-charm, and Mickey Rooney’s horrendous portrayal of a Japanese businessman, and listen for the introduction of the huge song hit by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer, “Moon River.”

2017 NBA CHAMPIONSHIPS

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

The Cleveland Cavaliers, with its record-setting dominant bursts in Game 4, fended off elimination at the hands of the Golden State Warriors, and forced tonight’s Game 5. The Warriors still are ahead 3-1 in the series, and have home-court advantage for tonight’s game – but the Warriors had a 3-1 advantage in the series last year, and the Cavs managed to take the championship anyway. Expect the Warriors to start tonight’s game with as much determination and ferocity as the Cavaliers did in Game 4 – but will they be as hot? And will the Cavs find a counter?

THE PUTIN INTERVIEWS

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

MINISERIES PREMIERE: Tonight through Thursday, Showtime presents four one-hour excerpts from filmmaker Oliver Stone’s self-described non-confrontational interviews with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. The interviews were filmed in Russia between July 2015 and February 2017, so Megyn Kelly’s recent interview with Putin for NBC was more timely. And while Stone’s approach to talking to Putin may indeed lead to some small character revelations, it’s not a series of interviews I’m approaching with many expectations for journalistic objectivity or standards. More like a conversation between tough-talking dictators – one political, the other cinematic. Think of it as Blowhard and Blowharder.

SUPERHUMAN

Fox, 9:01 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Based on a special that apparently pleased the Fox executives, this new series is a competition series with a difference: Each challenge is a specifically designed task, concocted to both showcase and challenge the peculiar and unusual skill sets of a given contestant. Imagine a toothpick-counting contest with Dustin Hoffman’s Rain Man, and you have the general idea… Kal Penn hosts.

BETTER CALL SAUL

AMC, 10:00 p.m. ET

Last week’s episode ended with Mike Ehrmentraut shaking hands with Gus Fring – forging a key link that will, in time (and in Breaking Bad), lead to their unlikely and sometimes uneasy partnership in the drug trade. Last week’s episode also showed Jimmy McGill painting himself out of a financial corner by becoming “slippin’ Jimmy,” another famous step in his evolution, or devolution, to the amoral Saul Goodman. Like Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul is one of the best extended character studies in TV series history.

MY FAIR LADY

TCM, 10:15 p.m. ET

Here’s another Audrey Hepburn classic film portrayal tonight. It’s 1964’s My Fair Lady, with Hepburn as the cockney Eliza Doolittle, selected by snobby phonetics professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison) as the “before” he can mold into a high-society “after.” And in this Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe musical version of George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, he succeeds. George Cukor’s direction helps a lot, as do the costumes by Cecil Beaton.

ANGIE TRIBECA

TBS, 10:30 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: For tonight’s Season 3 finale of this freewheeling, very funny TBS police sitcom, series star Rashida Jones makes room for yet another celebrity guest star. This time it’s Peggy Lipton, formerly a TV policewoman of her own, on ABC’s iconic Mod Squad, as well as one of the stars reprising her Twin Peaks role in the current Showtime reboot, Twin Peaks: The Return. Tonight, on Angie Tribeca, she visits the coroner’s office – and, by visiting Angie Tribeca, co-stars with her real-life daughter, Rashida Jones.

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