Three ‘Dancing’ stars in finale after tonight
Must-see
“Dancing With the Stars” results show, 9 p.m., ABC.
Tonight, we learn which three stars will make it to next week’s finale.
Helio Castroneves and Melanie Brown drew raves last week. He’s a race-car driver; she’s a Spice Girl, alternately known as Mel B and Scary Spice.
They face the personal popularity of singer Marie Osmond and actress Jennie Garth. Now someone will be dropped.
Must-see II
“Frank TV” debut, 11 p.m., TBS.
Even a great impressionist, which Frank Caliendo is, must also have strong material.
One sketch, in which he plays every “Seinfeld” character, is so-so. His John Madden character gets little to do.
Just wait, though. There’s a great take-off on movie trailers, plus funny swipes on both political sides.
A lusty Bill Clinton introduces his presidential library. And a befuddled George W. Bush ducks out of his father-daughter wedding talk; it’s delivered by a creepy Dick Cheney.
Other choices include
“The Biggest Loser” 8-10 p.m., NBC. As a reward, Alison Sweeney takes the contestants to the set of her soap opera, “Days of Our Lives.” It’s a bigger reward than they realized: Their friends and family are there, as a surprise.
“Beauty and the Geek,” 8 p.m., CW. Here’s another reality show nearing its finale; the field is trimmed to two duos.
“A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” (8 p.m.) and “He’s a Bully, Charlie Brown” (8:30), ABC. First is a classic cartoon, going back to 1973. Then is one Charles Schulz wrote shortly before his death in 2000; with Snoopy as his trainer, Charlie battles a mean marbles champ at summer camp.
“Bones,” 8 p.m., Fox. The team tracks a possible serial killer amid other troubles. Brennan’s brother resurfaces; Booth promptly arrests him.
“House,” 9 p.m., Fox. A magician apparently had a heart attack during a difficult escape. Or was he faking the attack, as an excuse for failing the stunt? House is suspicious.
“Frontline: On Our Watch,” 9 p.m., KSPS. After the horrors of Rwanda and Srebrenica, powerful nations promised to stop future genocides. They failed totally, this powerful documentary says. Over a four-year period, the United Nations passed toothless resolutions; in that time, 200,000 people were killed, 2.5 million were left homeless and countless people were raped and brutalized.
“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” 10 p.m., NBC. When a teen is killed, an ultimate fighting champion is a suspect.
“The Bachelor: After the Rose,” 10:02 p.m., ABC. Yes, reality shows clearly dominate the night. This is a follow-up, catching Brad and whomever he chose Monday. Chances are, they’ll say they’re very happy; then people will wait to see if they ever marry.
