This Week’s TV picks
What to watch; what to avoid …
Monday:
“House” 7 p.m., Fox: Season 7 ends tonight.
“The Bachelorette” 8 p.m., ABC: Season 7 kicks off with Brad Womack cast-off Ashley Hebert meeting a field of 25 suitors.
“The Chicago Code” 8 p.m., Fox: That’s all, folks. Seasons-wise, it’s one and done for this Midwestern cop drama.
“The Event” 8 p.m., NBC: It’s so cute how TV Guide is calling tonight’s episode the “season finale.” It’s not coming back. It is a non-“Event.” The portal begins to open but, tonight, the door slams shut.
“Clash of Commercials: USA vs. the World” 9 p.m., CBS: this competition pits American ads against those from other countries. They should have a competition to see who can fast-forward through this show the quickest.
Tuesday:
“American Idol” 7 p.m., Fox: The final two contestants duke it out musically during the final night of Season 10 performances.
“Biggest Loser: Couples” 7 p.m., NBC: Who’s “The Biggest Loser’s” Season 11 biggest winner? Find out tonight.
“Dancing With the Stars” 8 p.m., ABC: Season 12’s winner hoofs home with a trophy.
“Glee” 8 p.m., Fox: Patti LuPone guest stars in the Season 2 finale as the gang heads to new York City. I hope they bring back salsa!
“Independent Lens” 9 p.m., PBS: Unfortunately, the documentary “Welcome to Shelbyville” has nothing to do with “The Simpsons.”
Wednesday:
“The Middle” 7 p.m., ABC: Season 2 concludes in a Heck of a finale.
“American Idol” 7 p.m., Fox: A winner is crowned in tonight’s two-hour and seven minute season finale.
“Modern Family” 8 p.m., ABC: Jay’s birthday might be the lead story line but Phil’s outing with Gloria provides the laughs in tonight’s season-ender.
“Cougar Town” 8:30 p.m., ABC: Season 2 wraps up tonight.
“Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior” 9 p.m., CBS: The network pulled the plug on this spin-off, so tonight’s outing will be a series finale.
“Happy Endings” 9:30 p.m., ABC: A surprise renewal means that tonight’s freshman-season finale won’t be the last we’ll see of this crowd. Talk about happy endings!
Thursday:
“So You Think You Can Dance” 7 p.m., Fox: No, but I’ll bet I can do a nice little quickstep around the question of whether or not I have any interest in this summer reality show.
“Overheard With Evan Smith” 7 p.m., PBS: Season 1 ends as Evan chats with Robert Kennedy Jr.
Friday:
“Friday Night Lights” 7 p.m., NBC: The Internet causes trouble during rivalry week.
Saturday:
