America’s Next Top Model (CW) — Season finale. It’s Brittani versus Molly! There are high stakes for these voluptuous natural beauties (*sarcasm alarm goes off*): one will become a waitress, and the other will become a waitress with a Cover Girl contract.
Criminal Minds (CBS) — Season finale. Hey, remembered when “Justified” was on Wednesday nights? *sigh*
Law & Order: SVU (NBC) — Season 12 finale. No rape in this episode — just the murder of someone who was supposed to testify in a rape trial. Also, there’s a shootout in the precinct. Eh, I could’ve gone for more rape, but I suppose that’ll do.
Happy Endings (ABC) — Another set of back-to-back episodes. ABC sure as hell doesn’t know how to manage sitcoms (see: “Better Off Ted”), but I’m glad that they managed to pick up a second season of this show.
American Idol (Fox) — “Idol” visits the hometowns of the final three singers, a reality staple that “The Bachelor” franchise does with its finalists as well. I don’t quite understand the appeal of that. If it’s an American town with a mall or a Wal-Mart, I don’t need to see it. There’s supposedly a Mark Twain quote along the lines of, “In America, there’s New York, New Orleans, and San Francisco. Everywhere else is Cleveland.” I’ve never been able to verify it, but I dig it nonetheless.
LATE NIGHT GUESTS: Keith Olbermann and Julie Bowen on Letterman; Ed Helms on Leno; Topher Grace and Adam Carolla on Kimmel; Jim Parsons and “The Killing’s” Mireille Enos on Fallon; and Bradley Cooper on Conan.
