]]> So what’s going to win the night – the “Dancing With The Stars” finale or the super-hyped episode of “House” where he and his team are hijacked and “someone dies”? I think most will stick with “House” for an hour and then skip over to ABC to see the final result. Or skip the dancing entirely for the series finale of “The Shield”, which I would personally do.

Hot Picks for November 18, 2008
The Biggest Loser 
(NBC) at 8pm		 It’s Thanksgiving week at the “Biggest Loser” ranch, and contestants will be celebrating with turkey, football and very special guests! First, NFL Super Bowl MVPs Jerry Rice and Steve Young stop by to put the contestants through NFL-style drills. Then celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito helps the contestants make a healthy version of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
House (Fox) at 8pm For the second time in the history of “House”, the doctor and his team are confronted by an armed gunman. However, this guy wants House to treat his mysterious illness, and insists that the fellows act as guinea pigs for his own treatment so that House doesn’t slip him something that would weaken or kill him. Thirteen, who spends most of her time pondering her future with Huntington’s already, risks her life in the process. I swear, if they kill her so soon after killing Amber, I’m going to be annoyed.
A Charlie Brown
Thanksgiving
(ABC) at 9pm		 I think it should be mandatory that everyone watches either the Halloween special, the Thanksgiving special or the Christmas special. It’s important to remember things we forget.
Dancing With 
the Stars (ABC) at 9pm		 So far I realize that I’ve had a perfect record in predicting the winner. Tonight I’m a little torn. Lance Bass is the best dancer by far, but Warren Sapp has been pretty amazing in transforming himself from a big football player to a light-footed dancer. This will be close, but I’ll go for Bass.
The Mentalist (CBS) at 9pm While the police suspect a drug dealer on trial is behind the murders of the State’s witness in his case, as well as his girlfriend, Patrick Jane sees a different motive for the crime, as well as a different suspect. I have to confess that the promos about Patrick (which basically show him as a House clone) make me want to watch this.
The Shield (FX) at 10pm I know that there are some who will read this and weep, but tonight’s the final episode of “The Shield”. It’s lived a good life and built a nice fan base, but now it’s time to join “Homicide” in crime-drama heaven. Tonight’s show is about investigating a woman’s disapperance and a large drug shipment. I wonder if they’ll leave it open-ended for special FX reunion shows down the road.
