"American Idol" -- Power ballads. Teen divas. "Goosies." Randy Jackson's hideous jackets ... We've experienced it all in this, the 11th season, of prime time's most popular talent competition. But now, it's finally time to crown a champion. After the final two contestants face off on Tuesday, they'll have to suffer through a horrendously bloated two-hour finale the following night before hearing the verdict. Our prediction? Confetti will fall and someone will cry. 7 p.m. Wednesday, KSTU Channel 13.

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade -- For many of us, this week's holiday will be marked by an abundance of TV football and gastronomical gluttony. But it just wouldn't be Thanksgiving without the massive march through the streets of Manhattan. Now in its 85th year, the parade again will be studded with all kinds of stars, including Neil Diamond, Mary J. Blige, "American Idol" champ Scotty McCreery, the Muppets, and, of course, Santa Claus. But the real attraction, as always, are those humongous balloon creatures, which boggle the eyes and serve as a reminder not to bloat out at the dinner table. 7 a.m. Thursday, KSL Channel 5.

Why we watch 'Dancing with the Stars'

Let's be honest: "Dancing With the Stars," fancy footwork aside, only deserves our love if the cast is eclectic and eccentric enough.

For every memorable zany Cloris Leachman or fainting Marie Osmond moment, we have had soon-to-be forgotten contestants such as Laila Ali, John Ratzenberger or Tom DeLay.
