After 15 years and finding many phenomenal singers, American Idol begins its final season at 8p tonight on Fox. Will they find the next Kelly Clarkson, Chris Daughtry or Carrie Underwood this year? We will just have to tune in every week to find out.
I have to admit now that the last season is finally here, I am a little teary eyed. I can remember being on the phone with mom or my friend Michael in NYC to find out who went home because I couldn’t wait three hours to find out. Remember, AI was around before Twitter and Facebook and that was the best way to find out about Jennifer Hudson or Daughtry’s surprise eliminations. It was also the way I found that Clay Aiken was robbed of the title. And I have so many more fond memories from the show. In fact, I have a friend who I didn’t talk to for a year because of the Clay/Ruben fiasco.
What are some of your favorite memories from American Idol?

Then over on CBS at 8:30p, Mike & Molly is also beginning its final season tonight. Although, CBS has yet to confirm what the actors have already told us.
The episode starts off with Mike (Billy Gardell) and Carl (Reno Wilson) still not talking, so they go to couples therapy. When that doesn’t work, they get new partners. Let’s just their new partners are really bad? Will that be enough to get them back together?
Meanwhile, Molly (Melissa McCarthy) is doing press for her book and she is awful at it. Will it ruin her sales?
Even though this is the last season, it is just as funny as the first one. I am going to miss this show when it ends, but at least we have 13 new episodes before it says goodbye.
