BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

With its sequel, Finding Dory, about to hit theaters, ABC has timed well its latest prime-time repeat of the 2003 Finding Nemo original, still a very charming movie, with a delightful yet somewhat sad comic vocal performance by Ellen DeGeneres as the forgetful Dory.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

Tony Randall is hilarious in this 1957 spoof of Madison Avenue, a comic version of Mad Men set and filmed during the actual era depicted in Mad Men. Randall plays the title character, an advertising copywriter – a sort of B-company Don Draper – who lands a sex-symbol spokeswoman, played by Jayne Mansfield, on the condition that he’ll pretend to be her latest lover. It’s the first of several Jayne Mansfield movies shown tonight on TCM, a roster that also includes, at 9:45 p.m. ET, the 1956 early rock music classic, The Girl Can’t Help It.

 
  
 
 

Fox, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: I’m sort of surprised, if not astounded, that this show is back for a season two, given where and how it ended its first season. But here it is. Watch if you like, but I’ve long since moved away from Wayward Pines. For his take on the show's return, read David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.

 
  
 
 

ABC, 10:00 p.m. ET

SERIES FINALE: ABC seemed to dilute and transform this series into more of a hyperactive soap opera, then canceled it anyway. Regardless, this is the final episode of Nashville, which over its run, did some very nice shows, and deserved better treatment from its network. For a review and some predictions, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

Elizabeth does what she needs to do in this week’s episode – but what she needs to do definitely will have lasting ramifications, and very close to home.

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

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