What to watch: Wednesday

No one else is even trying tonight. Not when you've got the biggest show on television AND the most important show on television wrapping up on the same night. (There IS a difference.)

AMERICAN IDOL (Fox/8 p.m.) takes two hours to show you five minutes of television. But that's every Wednesday. This week, though, they all pat themselves on the back even more and put a crown on their chosen one. Then no one has to think about Idol until next January. I'll have my season-in-review some time tonight.

Most important, though, is the season three wrapup of LOST (ABC/9 p.m.) -- another show that needs two hours to say goodbye until January. Don't expect to get all your answers tonight. In fact, expect more mystery than answers... and that's OK.

Also new: Shear Genius on Bravo and Hazard Pay on Discovery. And, the most interesting and scary show name I've ever seen: Face Eating Tumor on TLC. I'm almost ready to TiVo it out of sheer wonder.
