BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 
THE FLASH

CW, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: This spinoff of Arrow almost instantly eclipsed its parent program in terms of writing, tone and performances, and has maintained that advantage all season long. Tonight, the Season 1 finale, when we find out more about Tom Cavanagh’s character, who started the season as a good guy but along the way changed, literally, into a villain. We also learn what sacrifices the Flash must make in order to combat him.

 
  
 
 
BONNIE AND CLYDE

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

Made in 1967, and directed by Arthur Penn, this romanticized biography of the Depression-era bank robbers made a movie star and fashion icon of Faye Dunaway, and propelled Warren Beatty – who produced as well as starred – into the top tier of moviemakers given clout to do what he wished. It’s an exciting, clever film, with a terrific supporting cast (Gene Hackman wasn’t a star yet, but commands attention here, as do Estelle Parsons and Michael J. Pollard), an infamous ending, and some great music and photography throughout.

 
  
 
 
THE VOICE

NBC, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: At 8 p.m. ET, prior to tonight’s two-hour season finale, NBC presents a recap hour, allowing interim- or non-viewers to get up to speed – and also allowing NBC to recycle some footage and amortize the show’s costs a bit. But at 9 p.m. ET (well, much closer to 11 p.m. ET, actually), a winner for Season 8 is crowned. Expect it to be Sawyer Fredericks.

 
  
 
 
INSIDE AMY SCHUMER

Comedy Central, 10:30 p.m. ET

On this week’s show, Amy plays a contestant in a child beauty pageant in a takeoff of Toddlers & Tiaras (which, arguably, already is a spoof of itself, since it’s so horrid in every way). Schumer’s version is “Babies & Bustiers,” and she plays a contestant with abnormal growth spurts, named Amy Merryweather Sherman (the contestant, not the spurts). And her stage mom, because there has to be one? She’s played by Jennifer Coolidge… so watch out. And watch…

 
  
 
 
INSIDE COMEDY

Showtime, 11:00 p.m. ET

This week, David Steinberg talks to standup comic and Seinfeld writer Carol Leifer, and also talks about comedy with someone who has subsequently moved on to, and won Emmys for, dramatic acting: former Malcolm in the Middle sitcom co-star Bryan Cranston, later of the phenomenally good, and dark, Breaking Bad.

 
  
 
 
LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN

CBS, 11:35 p.m. ET

The next-to-last Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, not the finale, is the one most people remember – the one where he was serenaded by Bette Midler. Well, tonight is the penultimate episode of Late Show with David Letterman, and there’s also a musical guest on board for the occasion: Bob Dylan. Somehow, though, I’m not expecting an original-lyrics tribute from Bob. But regardless, it’s Dylan’s first appearance on the show since 1993, Letterman’s first year on CBS. And also featured on this highly valued hour of TV real estate: Bill Murray, who was Letterman’s very first Late Night guest on NBC, way, way back in 1982.

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