"America's Next Great Restaurant" (7 p.m., KARE, Ch. 11) may be far from a TV hit, but let's hope it has some good taste when it comes to picking a winner in tonight's season finale. It's down to meatballs, soul food or spicy Indian, with the winner opening joints in three locations, including that culinary capital of the world, the Mall of America.
What is it about Minneapolis that drives visiting celebrities to retreat immediately to Hawaii? A few days after performing here, Puff Daddy showed up on an episode of "Hawaii Five-O" (9 p.m., WCCO, Ch. 4). Now it's Rick Springfield's turn. Not long after pining about "Jessie's Girl" at the Guthrie, the rocker is playing a photographer who gets murdered during a shoot. Let's hope this trend concludes with the arrival of summer.
Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are back, living with each other in the suburbs in "The Looney Tunes Show" (7 p.m., Cartoon). I'm not wild about the premise, but there's no denying the new cartoons look great and there are plenty of laughs to go around, especially in the short musical videos like the one featuring Elmer Fudd serenading his grilled-cheese sandwich.
The detectives on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" (9 p.m., KARE, Ch. 11) have a dandy of a case when they try to figure out where guest star and former "Footloose" rebel Lori Singer has been hiding since the mid-'90s. They also take some time to try and determine why her character would leave her newly adopted child alone in a playground. John Stamos plays a suspect.
Anyone afraid of the water might want to stay away from TCM this month as it pays tribute to part-mermaid Esther Williams and her swimming musicals, many of which were filmed where the choir room in "Glee" now stands. The Thursday-night fests start with her earliest work, the appropriately titled 1944 comedy, "Bathing Beauty" (7 p.m., TCM), co-starring Red Skelton and Basil Rathbone.
