BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Two artists are eliminated in tonight’s results show, which will winnow contestants from the Top 10 to the Top 8. A few more weeks of this, and the singers left standing will be able to fit in the judges’ seats.

 
  
 
 

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

This particular stretch of America’s real estate is so storied, so visited, and at times (just around this time of year, specifically) so stunningly beautiful, that the National Mall in Washington, D.C. deserves its own PBS special. So you arborial and social architecture skeptics out there, you’re wrong if you take the default position of apathy: If you’ve seen one, you’ve seen a mall. Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

As we get closer to The Age of Ultron, the subtitle of the new Avengers movie arriving at month’s end, we also get more of the cross-promotional cross-plots between that big-screen movie franchise and this small-screen spinoff. Also, in subplots that may not be unrelated, Skye is still learning about her powers, and Coulson goes to a very unexpected source for help: hero turned villain Grant Ward, who may be about to turn, turn, turn again.

 
  
 
 

CW, 9:00 p.m. ET

You are what you eat, and that’s especially true whenever functioning zombie Liv (she’s a zombie, but she copes, hides her condition effectively to most people, and holds down a job) ingests some recently deceased brains. This time, she eats the brains of a computer-hacker, and instantly becomes agoraphobic, really proficient at playing computer games, and a virgin. (Okay, so I made up that last part.) Rose McIver stars.

 
  
 
 

Comedy Central, 10:30 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: I’m not sure what happened between the end of Season 2 and the start of tonight’s Season 3, but to begin this new year of shows, Amy Schumer comes out with such confidence, audacity and original comic brilliance, she instantly vaults herself and her show to the top of the comedy pack – with every segment of tonight’s opener a jaw-dropping, thought-provoking, laugh-out-loud-inducing winner. Just tune in for the “Milk Milk Lemonade” opening, a faux music video in which Schumer and some guest-star peeps (including Amber Rose, and Jemima Kirke from Girls) flaunt their behinds and sing, “This is what you think is hot” – then, challenging the very issue of “butt” sensuality, add a very challenging, and utterly hilarious, question mark. Stay tuned after that – and you should – and you’ll see Schumer stumble onto an outdoor tea party of sorts, populated by Tina Fey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Patricia Arquette, who are gathered to celebrate a significant day in the lives of female celebrities. See it for yourself.

Manusia yang menyedihkan, mencari uang dengan menipu orang jujur. Persetan dengan sampah ini.

Perilaku penipuan murni. Bajingan-bajingan ini tidak punya moral dan tidak ragu-ragu menipu orang lain.

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

Hanya kebohongan dan taktik penipuan. Buang-buang waktu dan uang saja.

Sialan para penipu ini karena telah mencuri uang dan kepercayaan orang lain.

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