BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

There aren’t many more episodes for this spinoff series to earn a renewal, so its ratings, and other key metrics, have to improve, and fast. That’s the stark reality – and tonight, the tycoon in hiding, Howard Stark himself (played by Dominic Cooper), makes an appearance, finding Carter (Hayley Atwell) to, perhaps, help save the day.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Two more episodes are shown tonight – and in one of them, Leslie organizes a rally to try and save her favorite diner, with a “Save J.J.’s” campaign. Hey, I know how she feels – if I ever felt Egg N’ You in Ft. Lauderdale was threatened, or Twohey’s in Alhambra, or Ponzio’s in Cherry Hill, I’d be right there on the front lines…

 
  
 
 

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

Now this will be interesting. It’s a one-hour special devoted, as always this time of year, to just one game: in this case, an advance analysis of Sunday’s Super Bowl XLIX. And this is one place where, for sure, the very latest in Deflategate will be debated and, most probably, deflated. For a home-grown column about this controversy, see Eric Gould’s Cold Light Reader.
 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

The final season continues to build momentum. Tonight, it’s not only Raylan’s investigation that begins to deepen and darken, but also Boyd’s own problems, conflicts and adversaries. These include Mary Steenburgen, who’s having a field day, and so much fun playing against her usual sweet-as-can-be type, portraying Katherine Hale, a woman with an icy heart and a coldly calculating illegal business scheme to match. And wait, that’s not all: Here comes Sam Elliott…

 
  
 
 

TCM, 10:00 p.m. ET

This 1976 movie, one of my all-time favorites, is a superb condensation of one of the most important crime stories of the 20th century – one that reached into the Oval Office, altered the course of history, and inspired a generation of journalists, including myself. Nowadays, you can watch it as a quaint reminder of how information was sought, and obtained, before you could type words into an Internet search engine – and how the cinema once lionized not superheroes, but everyday ones. Even ones with a press pass…

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.
