Tonight's Must-See
"The Bachelor" finale (7 p.m.) and follow-up (9 p.m.), both ABC. After five failed matches, this show desperately needs a marriage. "You'll definitely get it this time," says producer Mike Fleiss. Aiming for that, he went slightly older for his bachelor (Byron Velvick, 40, a professional fisherman) and the women, bringing two back from previous shows. One of them — Mary Delgado, 36, a real estate agent rejected by bachelor Bob Guiney — is a finalist. She faces Tanya Michel, 31, a teacher. Velvick says he's now engaged to his choice, but has sort of had "Bachelor" overkill. "The last thing we want is a romantic date. ... I think we'll go to the mall." "A Walk to Remember" (2002), 7 p.m., WB. Nicholas Sparks' novel was turned into this teen romance. Mandy Moore (the pop star) plays a preacher's kid who doesn't quite fit in. Shane West (now of "ER") plays a tough guy who is drawn to her. "That '70s Show," 7 p.m., Fox. Comedies continue to focus on Thanksgiving. Tonight, Eric tells his mom he's going to skip the holiday dinner and catch a rock concert. Meanwhile, Hyde is ready to open the record store. "Quintuplets," 7:30 p.m, Fox. Jason Priestley guests as the quints' uncle, a sports agent visiting for Thanksgiving. "Kelly, Ruben & Fantasia: Home for Christmas," 8 p.m., Fox. All three "American Idol" winners combine for a holiday concert. That's Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard and Fantasia Barrino. (No, Clay Aiken didn't win; it just seems that way.) "The West Wing," 8 p.m., NBC. We get new glimpses of Rep. Matthew Santos, the potential presidential candidate played by Jimmy Smits. He works with Republicans on a patients' bill of rights. "Regency House Party" conclusion, 9 p.m., PBS. While modern Americans are wrapping up "The Bachelor," we also see the singles who recreated the dating scene of England's Regency Era. Tonight's finale brings one surprise: Capt. Glover has suddenly inherited a title and money, moving him up the ladder. "CSI: NY," 9 p.m., CBS. A briefcase left on the trading floor of a mercantile exchange causes questions and probes.
"Tim McGraw: Here and Now," 7 p.m., NBC. McGraw taped two concerts in Green Bay, Wis., where his buddy (quarterback Brett Favre) is king. Faith Hill, McGraw's wife, makes a guest appearance for one song; Favre also shows up, without singing. Separately, we see McGraw and Nelly in Las Vegas doing their crossover hit duet "Over and Over."
