A number of television dramas and comedies wrap up their season this week. Here are some highlights.
v “Glee”: Season 3 concludes at McKinley High with graduation and a look to the future. Tuesday at 8 p.m. on Fox.
v “Modern Family”: Prom and a dance recital highlight the Season 3 closer. Wednesday at 8 p.m. on ABC.
v “Revenge”: Will Emily have her revenge on the Graysons by the end of tonight’s freshman season finale? It’ll be fun to find out. 9 p.m. Wednesday on ABC.
v “Awake”: The first and final season of the woefully under-watched psychological drama concludes Thursday at 9 p.m. on NBC.
v “Masterpiece Mystery!”: Season 2 of “Sherlock” concludes with an update on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Final Problem” titled “The Reichenbach Fall.” It’s probably the series’ best entry yet. Sunday at 9 p.m. on PBS.
“House” (8 p.m., fox): OK, so his bedside manner left a lot to be desired, but Hugh Laurie’s cranky title character in “House” kept us entertained for eight offbeat seasons. The acclaimed show comes to an end tonight with one last medical mystery. A retrospective special precedes the finale.
