BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

More Knockout Round, and more Kelly Clarkson as the guest advisor – and more of a hint about what to expect this fall, when she’ll return as a judge. Not on American Idol, mind you, which launched Clarkson to stardom – but on this series, which she reportedly considers a more fair and positive way of finding and, initially, judging talent.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 9:00 p.m. ET

Randall is in the foster system, and Jack and Rebecca are fighting to finalize his adoption. But there are factors about which the judge expresses concern, including race. It’s how Jack and Rebecca react that will, and does, make the difference.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

Part 2. Yesterday’s Part 1 of this authorized documentary history of Rolling Stone began with the founding of the magazine in 1967 to the death of John Lennon in 1980 – a 13-year stretch covering everything from Patty Hearst and Hunter S. Thompson to Cameron Crowe and Bruce Springsteen. It’s worth watching, with some exciting film clips and memorable blasts from the past. But there’s also a notable whitewashing of certain aspects, as when Lennon famously broke with Wenner after the latter, against Lennon’s wishes, republished their Rolling Stone interview as a stand-alone book. For a full review, see Roger Catlin's TV Eye.

 
  
 
 

National Geographic, 9:00 p.m. ET

MINISERIES PREMIERE: This eight-part miniseries, based on the book by Martha Radditz, takes a Rashomon approach to a 2004 battle in Iraq, when a U.S. Army platoon suddenly found itself surrounded by well-armed insurgents in a fight for control of the Sadr City section of Baghdad. Each largely fictionalized episode is shown from the point of view of a different individual, whether a soldier, an Iraqi, or a loved one back in Fort Hood. Jason Ritter and Kate Bosworth star. For full reviews, see Ed Bark's Uncle Barky's Bytes and David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.

 
  
 
 

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: This season of American Horror Story, a violent and sometimes meandering examination of murder cult mentality, concludes tonight. The series has been called Cult, and the title of tonight’s episode may say it all, at least about this season’s mixture of mayhem and flippancy: It’s titled “Charles (Manson) in Charge.”

 
  
 
 

USA, 10:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: This new series is set during the Dust Bowl Depression era, and has two people coming to town, on opposite sides, to steer the local population: an Iowa preacher (played by Killian Scott) urging an insurrection among the working class, and a strikebreaker (played by Logan Marshall-Green) determined to stop it. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.

Bu web sitesi tam bir felaket. Sanki 2005'te tasarlanmis ve hiç güncellenmemis gibi. Sayfalarin yüklenmesi sonsuza kadar sürüyor, baglantilarin yarisi bozuk ve düzen hiç mantikli degil. Bir seyler yapmaya çalisarak bir saatten fazla zaman harcadim ve sonra hayal kirikligiyla pes ettim. Dürüst olmak gerekirse, bu bir saka.
