Tube Notes: 'So You Think You Can Dance,' Bollywood Hero'

TONIGHT'S MUST SEES

“SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE” FINALE, 7-9 P.M., FOX

The fifth (and best) season ends, with someone getting the $250,000 prize.
Any of the final four – Jeanine Mason, Kayla Radomski, Brandon Bryant and Evan Kasprzak – would be worthy. Before we learn the winner, there will be lots of commotion from Kodak Theatre.
The top 20 will be back and some of the judges' favorite routines will be repeated. Also dancing will be the Rage Boyz Crew and Talia Fowler, the winner of “So You Think You Can Dance Australia.”

TONIGHT'S ALTERNATIVE

“BOLLYWOOD HERO” OPENER, 7-8:05 P.M., IFC

Chris Kattan spoofes himself, in this erratic-but-entertaining, three-night mini-series.
We see him reduced to lowly duty as a situation-comedy alien, while dreaming of being a leading man. Then he gets a chance to star in a full-scale in a musical in India; conveniently, he overlooks the fact that he can't dance.
There weak spots, but “Hero” includes some funny moments. It also has song-and-dance numbers, written by Michael Penn and choreographed by Longinus Fernandes of “Slumdog Millionaire.”
