BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 
THE VOICE

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: A summary of the season’s highlights begins at 8 p.m. ET, for viewers who want or need a refresher, and the two-hour live finale, filled out with lots of guest performances, follows at 9. Yesterday, the four finalists sang for the right to be crowned this season’s winner – and with Alisan Porter given the closing spot to sing “Somewhere” from West Side Story, the late advantage was in her favor. Will she be the first female winner of The Voice? Probably. But with the American voting public, you can never be too sure. Look at politics.

 
  
 
 
SLEEPER

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s TCM lineup is devoted to movies in which one character arrives from another place and/or time. This 1973 Woody Allen film is a deliciously giddy comedy with which to start: Allen plays a nerd who awakens far into the future and deals with future inventions, insurrections, and Diane Keaton. Oh, and there’s a great joke in there somewhere about a VW Beetle, a car that, at the time, was thought to be almost preternaturally reliable.

 
  
 
 
FRONTLINE: "BUSINESS OF DISASTER"

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

This week’s Frontline is a journalistic collaboration with NPR. Together, they look at the economic opportunists, and in some case vultures, who descend upon an area after a natural disaster. Using Hurricane Sandy as a case in point, Business of Disaster follows the money: what was promised, what was delivered, and who profited. Check local listings.

 
  
 
 
THE NIGHT MANAGER

AMC, 10:00 p.m. ET

MINISERIES CONCLUSION: Part 6. The deception has carried to this point, but not for much longer: Tom Hiddleston’s “hotel manager” is closer than ever before, to both completing his mission against Hugh Laurie’s arms dealer and falling deeply in love with his target’s mistress. But the woman’s life is in danger now, which, in this tense concluding hour, makes her the same as everyone else.

 
  
 
 
REAL SPORTS WITH BRYANT GUMBEL

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

This week, Bryant Gumbel looks at his own sports brethren, and examines the state of investigative sports journalism.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

One other issue is when you are in a predicament where you would not have a co-signer then you may genuinely wish to try to exhaust all of your financing options. You can get many grants or loans and other grants that will give you finances to assist with school expenses. Thank you for the post.
