BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 
SINATRA: ALL OR NOTHING AT ALL

HBO, 8:00 p.m. ET

Part 2 of 2. If you saw Part 1, you’ll definitely be back to watch tonight’s concluding installment of Alex Gibney’s musical biography of Frank Sinatra. But even if you missed the first half, you can jump in at this point and still be thoroughly entertained – especially by such astounding archival clips as Sinatra and Elvis Presley singing a duet, and singing each other’s hit songs. For my full review of this Sinatra documentary, which concludes tomorrow night, see Bianculli’s Blog, and visit the Fresh Air website.
 
  
 
 
THE VOICE

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

This is the start of the Playoff Round, when the broadcasts are live, and the intensity increases. The auditions remain the best part of The Voice, but this round is a close second.

 
  
 
 
2015 MEN'S NCAA BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

CBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

What a year for men’s college basketball. Saturday night’s second Final Four game, in which No. 1 seed Wisconsin fought its way past another No. 1 seed, heavily favored and previously undefeated Kentucky, was a thriller all the way. The earlier game began just as thrillingly, with No. 7 seed Michigan State jumping ahead of No. 1 seed Duke, but Duke took command thereafter and kept on dominating. So tonight, coaches Bo Ryan of Wisconsin and Mike Krzyzewski (pictured) square off for the 2015 title, as do towering centers Frank Kaminsky of Wisconsin and Jahlil Okafor of Duke. And their respective, resourceful, scrappy teams. Because of what Wisconsin just accomplished to get here, I’m rooting for them – but, most of all, for another close, thrilling game to cap off a remarkable NCAA tournament year.
 
  
 
 
BETTER CALL SAUL

AMC, 10:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: What a remarkable thing Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould have done with Better Call Saul. Last week’s episode was so emotionally resonant, and so true to its characters, that this Breaking Bad prequel/sequel stands on its own as another excellent TV series – the best series to beget another great series since Cheers handed off to Frasier. And tonight, expect even more evidence that Bob Odenkirk, showing the evolution of Jimmy McGill into the show’s titular shyster, is doing some of the best dramatic acting on television this season.

 
  
 
 
GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

MTV, in the Eighties, was buoyed enormously by the sight of Madonna, adorned in jewels and satin, crooning “Material Girl” to a gaggle of well-dressed, unsuccessful suitors. The visual imagery was inspired directly by this 1953 movie musical, in which Marilyn Monroe sang “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend" with playful perfection. Jane Russell co-stars – and in the finale, she gets to imitate Monroe, blonde hair and all, in another very smart comic sequence.

Speaking of finding reliable information, I've been doing some research lately on platforms that are actually straightforward about their terms. It's amazing how much difference it makes when everything is clearly displayed upfront, especially with minimums and processing times. I came across https://thor-fortunes.org/ while comparing options, and the way they lay out their cashier details in EUR makes it easy to understand exactly what to expect before committing.
