BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

CYCLE FINALE: Tonight is the last night of actual vocal competition for this cycle’s Voice contestants. The Final Four will work through their final routines on this final night, then return tomorrow to see who will be the latest winner of The Voice. There are four judges and four contestants, but not each judge is represented equally. The Final Four singers are Brooke Simpson, Addison Agen, Red Marlow, and Chloe Kohanski, but while Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and Miley Cyrus still have a rooting interest, first-time judge Jennifer Hudson does not. Chloe and Red are on Team Blake, Addison is from Team Adam, and Brooke Simpson is on Team Miley. My pick to win, consistently this cycle, has been Chloe Addison, which means this show’s most victorious coach, Blake Sheldon, should clock yet another win. And Miley Cyrus will have special reason to regret her decisions this cycle, because both Chloe and Addison used to be on Team Miley’s original “Girl Power” squad.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

MINISERIES PREMIERE: Kit Harington from Game of Thrones stars in this three-part miniseries import from the BBC, tracing the origins of the rebellious movement known as Guy Fawkes Day. Harington plays Robert Catesby, the major force behind the Gunpowder Plot in London in 1605. Harington is not only a co-executive producer on the show, but also, reportedly, is an actual descendant of the real Catesby. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 10:01 p.m. ET

SPECIAL PREVIEW: This special sneak peek affords a taste of the newest game show from Ellen DeGeneres – and this one has DeGeneres herself hosting, presiding over games from her massively successful daytime show. To regular fans of The Ellen DeGeneres Show in daytime, such playful contests as “What’s in the Box?” and “Know or Go?” will be very familiar. Even to newcomers, though, their friendliness, like Ellen’s, should prove infectious. Six hours of this new series will follow soon on NBC, followed, no doubt, by many more.

 
  
 
 

Comedy Central, 11:00 p.m. ET

SPECIAL PREMIERE: Trevor Noah hosts this year-end review, which pulls from all the current Daily Show correspondents, and is expanded in both length and venue. It’s an hour long, and emanates from New York’s Gramercy Theater.

Arayüz çok kötü, bonusu bulmak bile dert. Ayrica destek ekibi yok gibi bir sey.

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.
