BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

ABC, 7:00 p.m. ET

I’m not sure this is an enhancement, but here it is: Tonight’s ABC presentation of The Sound of Music – the 1965 Julie Andrews film, not the recent live TV musical – comes complete with superimposed lyrics whenever a song is sung, so viewers at home can sing along. Just great: the hills are alive with the sound of karaoke…
 
  
 
 

NBC, 8:20 p.m. ET

For tonight’s prime-time game, NBC is flexing its muscles and employing its option under the NFL flex schedule, moving games around to get the best one on TV. So tonight, instead of the previously scheduled Cincinnati Bengals vs. San Francisco 49ers game, Sunday Night Football presents the Arizona Cardinals vs. Philadelphia Eagles, live from Philly.
 
  
 
 

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: There’s a terrorist bomb filled with sarin gas, and last week Carrie was in chase in the tunnels under Berlin. Tonight, she tries to get to the bottom of things, and solve the case, and identify and defuse another terrorist threat. Welcome to the end of another hectic season of Homeland…
 
  
 
 

Showtime, 10:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: It’s a short season for this new AMC series – and if you haven’t seen it, or stayed with it, the network is presenting all Season 1 episodes leading up to tonight’s 10 p.m. ET season finale. The mini-marathon begins at 5 p.m. ET.
 
  
 
 

Showtime, 10:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: Another season finale for the holiday season: This one ends Season 2 of The Affair, which doubled down on its perspectives, and became an even more interesting drama – and mystery. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.

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