BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: For the new season, the judges’ lineup is one that showed very playful chemistry last time they were in the spinning red seats: Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Shakira and Usher. And unlike American Idol, where the final shows are the most compelling, with The Voice it’s the other way around. The best shows are the first ones, when it truly is only the voices that matter, as the judges decide the eligibility of contestants solely on what they hear.
 
  
 
 

TNT, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: The reboot of Dallas – and the boots, in his case, are pure country kicks – begins Season 3, its first full season without Larry Hagman, but with some new characters introduced and some old plot lines revisited. Including one from the original series, when Linda Gray’s Sue Ann flirts with falling off the wagon.

 
  
 
 

Showtime, 11:00 p.m. ET

Tonight, David Steinberg’s guests are Kevin Nealon and Andrew Dice Clay. The latter might seem to be an exercise in comedy nostalgia, but Clay has proven capable of major surprises of late. He was unexpectedly strong on HBO’s Entourage in a recurring role, and positively, almost astoundingly effective and vulnerable in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 11:35 p.m. ET

The opening-week hype is over, and beginning tonight, Fallon settles into week two. He should be very proud of himself, given what he’s accomplished already, and tonight’s installment sets out to please many audiences at once. The scheduled guests: actress Reese Witherspoon, who, like many guests who will be appearing on Fallon’s show, appeared on Saturday Night Live during his tenure there; Fallon’s fellow SNL veteran Fred Armisen, starting tonight as the bandleader on Late Night with Seth Meyers; and rapper Rick Ross, who ought to take full advantage of Fallon’s fabulous house band, The Roots.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 12:35 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: With tonight’s inaugural Late Night with Seth Meyers, executive producer Lorne Michaels now controls two hours of TV every weeknight – and both shows, The Tonight Show and Late Night, now are showcasing comics who once anchored “Weekend Update” on Michaels’ Saturday Night Live. It’s good to be the king. Tonight’s opening-night guest: one of Meyers’ “Update” co-anchors, Amy Poehler, and a real newsmaker: Vice President Joe Biden.

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

Manusia sampah sejati, memangsa orang-orang tak berdosa hanya untuk mengisi kantong mereka yang serakah. Sungguh memalukan.
