You betcha!

In the season finale of "How I Met Your Mother" (7 p.m., WCCO, Ch. 4), Marshall (Jason Segel) takes the baby to Minnesota to visit family. Maybe Ted (Josh Radnor) should join him. A nice Midwestern gal is just what he needs.

School's out

"90210" (7 p.m., WUCW, Ch. 23) closes its doors in this series finale. With a run of five seasons, the reboot can be considered a semi-success, but nothing like the original, which ran for 10 years and blessed us with a walking soap opera named Shannen Doherty.

In the name of the law

Angie Dickinson hasn't gotten over her "Police Woman" days. As guest programmer for TCM, she's selected 1975's "Dog Day Afternoon" (11:30 p.m., TCM), but I assume she'll be rooting for cop Charles Durning instead of crook Al Pacino.
