BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

In tonight’s episode, Jim Gordon gets a call from a serial killer called the Ogre (recurring guest star Milo Ventimiglia from Heroes), threatening him that if he doesn’t call off his murder investigation, the Ogre will kill someone close to Gordon. So what does the future police commissioner do? Goes on TV to defiantly ask Gotham City residents for help in catching the killer in their midst. Don’t expect this to end well, necessarily. Meanwhile, Carol Kane, as the future Penguin’s mom, is wonderful here.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Tonight, on this live edition, we’re up to – or down to – the Top 10 finalists.

 
  
 
 

CW, 9:00 p.m. ET

We’re coming up to the Season 1 finale of this series – and since every episode so far has ended with a tasty, twisty cliffhanger, it’s not too early, at this point, to start imagining how things might end until next fall… because this entertaining series is coming back.

 
  
 
 

A&E, 9:00 p.m. ET

Last week, when Norma Bates was away, her son Norman went on a little break. Not a spring break, or a break from studies – but a psychotic break, getting closer to the Norman who embodies the titular character in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 movie Psycho. Tonight, Norma comes back – but to what? And to whom?

 
  
 
 

Travel Channel, 10:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Here’s a new approach for a travel series. Host Brian Unger, whom you may remember from his stint on The Daily Show, takes viewers on a tour of a different location each week. So what’s new about that? Well, in this series, Unger isn’t as interested in what he finds there as in what used to be there – and thanks to computer-generated graphics and special effects, the cities and scenery of today give way to the way things were yesterday. And long before that…

 
  
 
 

National Geographic, 11:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: This is the talk show series about the intersections of science and popular culture, and is hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson, based on his podcast and radio show of the same name. It’s the project TVWW profiled with anticipation during the January 2015 Television Critics Association press tour – and tonight, in this first weekly episode of a 10-week late-night launch season, the anticipation is over.And what better subject with which to begin than the topic of Star Trek? Opening guests: astrophysicist Charles Liu, comic Leighann Lord, and Star Trek alumnus George Takei.

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

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