ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: Mike's brother, Rusty — played by guest star Norm Macdonald — is getting married in the Hecks' backyard. Unfortunately, the Hecks' don't find out about it until they get the invitation in the mail. Northern Exposure's John Cullum reprises his role as "Big Mike" Heck in the season three closer.

NBA PLAYOFFS: CELTICS AT 76ERS

ESPN, 8:00 p.m. ET

The Western Conference semifinal champs have been decided, with the Spurs and Thunder knocking out the Clippers and Lakers, respectively. But in the East, it's still anyone's game. Last night the Miami Heat took a 3-2 lead over the Indiana Pacers. Tonight, the Celtics go up against the 76ers in game six of the playoffs. Boston has a one game advantage, Philadelphia has home court advantage.

AMERICAN IDOL

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE, PART 2 of 2: Last night American Idol finalists Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez battled for viewers' favor. Phillips may have been handed the advantage last night, thanks to the third-round original song results. His song, "Home," showcased his vocal talents and allowed him to play the guitar while backed by a marching band. Sanchez's selection, "Change Nothing," did absolutely nothing to highlight her star potential. Will Sanchez beat the odds and overcome "Nothing" to be the first female in five seasons to win it all? We'll find out tonight.

MODERN FAMILY

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: There's a lot of dancing on tonight's Modern Family season finale: Jay and Manny (Ed O'Neill, Rico Rodriguez) help Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) prepare for a dance recital, Alex (Ariel Winter) attends her first prom, and Cam (Eric Stonestreet) does the "we're having a baby" shuffle.

DON'T TRUST THE B---- IN APT. 23

ABC, 9:30 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: If you've been following Apt. 23, you know James Van Der Beek, who plays an exaggerated version of himself on the show, was cast on Dancing With the Stars, only to find he's competing against his nemesis, Dean Cain. In tonight's finale, Dawson discovers that Superman's DWTS dressing room is bigger than his own. Ouch. Dean Cain guest-stars as himself.
