BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

What a nice evening. Alan Arkin is saluted tonight, first with an interview conducted specifically for TCM at their annual film festival, and then with a generous roster of his films. The interview starts at 8 p.m. ET, followed at 9 by the 1979 comedy The In-Laws, in which Arkin co-stars with Peter Falk. Other films follow, including one early thriller well worth recording and saving for later: 1967’s Wait Until Dark, in which he plays a very bad guy terrorizing a blind young woman, played by Audrey Hepburn.

 

 
  
 
 

PBS, 8:30 p.m. ET

This new documentary profile looks at the career, and political tactics, of James Baker, who worked for several U.S. Presidents – running President Gerald Ford’s re-election campaign, serving as chief of staff (among other posts) for both Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, and even serving as chief legal counsel to George W. Bush during the 2000 election recount. Though Baker served on the Republican side, the title of this study suggests and recalls an era, apparently a distant memory already, in which opposing sides of Congress managed to get along, and get things accomplished. Check local listings.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

Even more intrigue and distrust surfaces this week, as Agent 33, who still has the face of Agent Melinda May (well, most of her face, anyway), makes another appearance. Other agents, meanwhile, prove just as two-faced, as dynamics and allegiances are tested, and betrayed, once again.

 
  
 
 

CW, 9:00 p.m. ET

Rose McIver continues her star turn as the likable, well-meaning, brain-eating zombie in this clever new twist on the genre. What this new series established last week is that the undead heroine Liv, as she munches on the brains of cadavers in the morgue, temporarily absorbs their memories, skills and even some of their emotions. And this week, her new dietary organ donor gives her an unexpected case of heightened libido. I guess, even when you’re a zombie, it’s true: You are what you eat…

 

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s episode is titled “Trust” – and there’s not much of it between two of this week’s featured bad-boy backwoods characters. Walton Goggins’ Boyd Crowder and Mykelti Williamson’s Ellstin Limehouse don’t have much use for one another – or, at least, haven’t up to now. But with only a few episodes remaining in this great series, there’s no telling how things are going to end up, much less who is going to end up standing.

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.
