Tonight's Must-See
We profile the suspects, and your tips keep on coming in. Tonight join, News 8's Walter Makaula as he profiles another of Hawai'i's most wanted. Plus, News 8's Lyle Galdeira and Russell Yamanoha hit the town in search of the best chow in this week's "Cheap Eats." "Lost," 7 p.m., ABC. The terrific first season begins wrapping up with a story that continues next Wednesday. Tonight, we flash back to the start of the doomed plane flight. We also again see the creepy woman who's been living in the jungle and Michelle Rodriguez ("Girl Fight") makes a guest appearance. "American Idol," 8 p.m., Fox. We find out if Bo Bice, Carrie Underwood or Vonzell Solomon will be ousted. The two survivors compete in next week's finale. "Revelations," 8 p.m., NBC. This six-week miniseries wraps up with Massey and Sister Josepha solving the puzzle. They must race to rescue Hawk and prevent the birth of the anti-Christ. Things get serious. "Alias," 8:01 p.m., ABC. This two-hour episode sets up next week's season finale. Sydney (Jennifer Garner) is scrambling with her father (Victor Garber) and half-sister (Mia Maestro), to stop the evil scheme of Elena Derevko (Sonia Braga). There's also a surprise: Irina Derevko (Lena Olin), Syd's mom, isn't dead. Her sister holds her hostage as the others race to the rescue. "Yes, Dear," 8:30 p.m., CBS. It's a bad day for Greg, the former movie studio executive. He becomes a mascot for a pizza place and discovers his house has to be demolished. "American Masters: Ray Charles," 9 p.m., PBS. Here's a rerun of a superb hour, looking at a man who learned to give songs a distinctive, individual touch. Friends talk about both his toughness as a boss and his passion for music and laughter. "Law & Order," 9 p.m., NBC. In a story ripped from recent headlines, a man parks his SUV on a train track apparently trying to commit suicide. He fails, but manages to kill 11 others. "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," 9 p.m. Mac faces a shootout at a coffee shop.
"That '70s Show" season finale, 7 p.m., Fox. Like grownups who never quite leave their teen lives, this show just keeps going on and on. It wraps up its seventh season tonight with one character leaving. That's Eric (Topher Grace). He'll be teaching in Africa, but his friends probably will keep hanging around his basement, as always. Tonight, his folks learn the kids have been smoking pot there. That leads to a funny bit of surrealism. Mostly, however, this hour is filled with understated emotions. Jackie leaves for Chicago because Hyde won't admit he loves her. Neither will Kelso (Ashton Kutcher). Donna and Eric never quite talk about their love, while Fez lusts openly for Donna. "That '70s Show" has some moments that are sharply funny, others that are just sophomoric. It's always been like that. Maybe it still will be, seven years from now.
