BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Kelly Clarkson only had one chance last week to show off her skills as the special guest advisor for the Knockout Round level of this season’s The Voice – but she did quite nicely, displaying the combination of support and solid advice that will serve her well when she sits in one of the judges’ chairs in the fall.

 
  
 
 

Fox, 9:00 p.m. ET

After last week’s adventures, the family at the center of this surprisingly involving Marvel Comics franchise series has been reunited, and now is on the same team as the underground mutants, with the same mission. But that doesn’t make their life any easier, as Sentinel Services keeps closing in… and even among the mutants, there are some sharp divisions and erupting emotions.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: Part 1 of 2. There are conflicting accounts of the history of Rolling Stone magazine being generated, adding to an already high pile of written and oral histories. Sticky Fingers: The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine, was published in October, a biography denounced by its formerly willing interview subject, Rolling Stone editor Wenner. But there also have been other books and accounts – and now, in this two-part documentary account, there’s another. This one is directed by Alex Gibney and Blair Foster, but its co-executive producers include Wenner himself – so don’t expect too much objective soul-searching or critical perspective. But for a while, inarguably, Rolling Stone was a key part of the post-Sixties counterculture and a major player in turning that counterculture into… the culture.

 
  
 
 

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: Television already has given us one great attempt to appreciate the impact and artistry of John Coltrane’s saxophone skills: Ken Burns’ Jazz, in which the life and music of Coltrane was one of many memorable set pieces. Now comes John Scheinfeld’s Chasing Trane, which has the words (and liner notes) of Coltrane read by Denzel Washington, and features, in this new documentary, everyone from John Densmore of the Doors to Common, Carlos Santana, Sonny Rollins, and fellow sax player Bill Clinton. For a full review, see Roger Cailin's TV Eye.  Check local listings.

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