SPLASH - "Episode 108" - The final three celebrity divers will take it to the top for the final time to perform a dive of their choice. The top two will be picked by the judges and will compete in a champion dive-off, but the first ever U.S. winner of the "Splash" trophy will be chosen by the live studio audience only! All of the previously eliminated celebrity divers will be back at the pool for a final dive, on the spectacular season finale of "Splash," TUESDAY, MAY 7 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on A

Water boarded

"Splash" (7 p.m., KSTP, Ch. 5), which was entertaining for about three dives, closes the pool with a two-hour episode in which all the contestants return for a final jump. That means our own Louie Anderson will once again get a chance to show off his one-of-a-kind swimming outfit.

Gone fishin'

I wish I could tell you that "Reel Rivals" (7 p.m., Weather) was a reboot of the old Siskel and Ebert act. Instead, it's yet another fishing show, this one about tourists trying to catch game fish in the Florida Keys.

Picking up the bill

"Constitution USA With Peter Sagal" (8 p.m., TPT, Ch. 2) continues Twin Cities Public Television's winning streak of documentaries about early American history without triggering a severe case of the yawns. Sagal is our amiable Harley-riding host, visiting with Americans about their interpretations of what the forefathers really meant. Clever animation adds to the fun in this limited series.
