BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

Galavan (James Frain) continues to manipulate the media, which helps him to amass even more power. The future Penguin, meanwhile, is anything but charismatic – but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have ways of amassing power on his own, even (or especially) if it means crossing Galavan.

CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND

CW, 8:00 p.m. ET

Last week, Rebecca (Rachel Bloom) met and confronted Josh’s girlfriend. Well, “confronted” is a little strong – more like genuflected, because she seemed so… “cool,” as the episode’s title cooed. This week, in hopes of getting closer to Josh, Rebecca throws a housewarming party – with the ulterior motive of heating up things where Josh is concerned.

SUPERGIRL

CBS, 8:30 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Greg Berlanti and his team, who already have provided TV versions of DC Comics franchises in the CW series Arrow and The Flash, move to CBS to present their latest and highest-profile new comic-based series, Supergirl. Melissa Benoist from Glee stars as Superman’s distaff cousin -- but in the pilot, while Benoist is likable enough, the best scenes are claimed by Calista Flockhart as the flinty media-empire boss who lords it over Supergirl’s meek secret identity of Kara. For full reviews, hear my review on today’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross on NBC or, later this afternoon, visit the Fresh Air website. Also, right here on TVWW, read Ed Bark’s Uncle Barky’s Bytes and David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower – and for capsule mini-reviews, check out our 2015 Annual Fall Preview.

I'LL HAVE WHAT PHIL'S HAVING

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

In tonight’s installment of Phil Rosenthal’s global tour of good food and friendly people, the Everybody Loves Raymond co-creator goes to Barcelona. I haven’t seen this one – but I’ve been to Barcelona, and if Phil visits Tickets Bar to sample its tapas, I’ll be thrilled. Check local listings.

FARGO

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

This Season 2 version of Fargo is turning out to be an even bigger joy than Season 1, which I would have bet against, considering how good, and how entertaining, last season’s Fargo turned out to be. But every week of these early episodes I’ve seen, the characters get richer, the plots get deeper – and the stakes, especially for things going horribly wrong, get higher. Tonight, Jesse Plemons and Kirsten Dunst, as a young couple clearly heading in the wrong direction, begin to play a much more prominent part of the story.

Persetan dengan pornografi

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