CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET
SEASON FINALE: Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) and Robin (Cobie Smulders) hold their wedding in tonight’s Season 8 finale, but not before they get into an altercation with a particularly abrasive couple at the bar. But when it’s all over, supposedly, we’ll watch as Ted (Josh Radnor) finally, finally, finally meets the woman who will become his future wife, and the mother of this show’s title.

Last week’s competition whittled the contestants down to the Top 12 (a decision that was so tough for Adam Levine, he barely made it while the live show was still on the air). This week, the dozen finalists – three from each team – compete for survival once more. And the judges shall lead them…
Flix, 8:00 p.m. ET
Flix has a bizarre double feature tonight, even if it’s not official, or even intentional. (Though if it’s not intentional, it’s one hell of a coincidence. Two Disney movies are shown back-to-back in prime time – movies that later were remade starring Lindsay Lohan. At 10:10 p.m. ET is 1977’s Freaky Friday – the original version, in which mom Barbara Harris swaps bodies with daughter Jodie Foster. (In Lohan’s remake, Jamie Lee Curtis played her mom.) And starting the evening at 8 p.m. ET is 1961’s The Parent Trap, starring Hayley Mills as twins who hope to reunite their estranged parents. Lohan played the twins in the remake of that one.
ABC Family, 9:00 p.m. ET
Right now on Broadway, Matilda: The Musical is up for 12 Tony Awards. This 1996 movie is based on the same Roald Dahl children’s story, and co-stars and is directed by Danny DeVito. On stage, four girls take turns playing the demanding title role. In this movie, Mara Wilson gets the role all to herself. Rhea Perlman co-stars.
Sundance, 10:00 p.m. ET
Tonight’s episode is partly about faith, and has Daniel (Aden Young) considering religion as a path back to something closer to normalcy after his unexpected release from 19 years on Death Row. Meanwhile, the faith Sundance had in this show already has been rewarded. It’s been renewed for a second season.
