Primetime
DVR/VCR Alert: The season finale of America’s Got Talent (NBC, 7pm – 9:02pm) will run at least two minutes long. It’s always a good idea to pad any recordings you make of finales like this.
Lorelai and Luke try to be friends again and it’s all rather awkward (at first) on a rerun of Gilmore Girls (CW, 7pm).
Kenneth Branagh brings us a new production/film of As You Like It (HBO, 8pm). He adapted the play (by Shakespeare, of course) and directed the film. Awesome! The cast includes: Romola Garai, Bryce Dallas Howard, Kevin Kline, Alfred Molina, and David Oyelowo.
Fargo’s grandfather is found in cryostatis on Eureka (Sci-Fi, 8pm and 11pm).
New episode of The Bill Engvall Show (TBS, 8pm and 10pm).
One brother needs a bone marrow transplant, but his other brother may be too sick to give it on a rerun of House (FOX, 8pm). So the team has to find out what is making the one brother sick. It’s all very complicated and intense, as you might imagine.
Things get even more intense (you didn’t think that was possible, did you?) on Damages (FX, 9pm, 10pm, midnight; also on Wednesday at 10pm).
Part 7 of 8 of The Bronx Is Burning (ESPN, 9pm, 11pm, 3am).
Rerun of last night’s new episode of The Closer (TNT, 9pm).

Michael Shermer on The Colbert Report (Comedy Central, 10:30pm and 12:30am).

Tom Selleck and John Stamos compare belly-buttons on a classic rerun of Late Night with Conan O’Brien (NBC, 11:37pm).
