Celebrity Apprentice, 9 p.m., NBC And the winner is … In a million years I would not have pegged Arsenio and Clay Aiken to be the finalists. Right? Or certainly that snot Aubrey to have come in third. Which is why we love the Apprentice! I am picking Clay to win. For no particular reason, other than I still feel bad I voted for Ruben in the Idol finale. The 2012 Billboard Music Awards, 8 p.m., ABC “Festivities at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas recognize artists for the fan support they've garnered; musical performances include Carrie Underwood, Justin Bieber, LMFAO and the Wanted; musician Stevie Wonder receives the 2012 Billboard Icon Award.” Nurse Jackie, 9 p.m., Showtime The best evolution in this new season is not the trials and …

Harry’s Law, 8 p.m., NBC Cancelled. The Firm, 9 p.m., NBC Cancelled. Meet Mrs. Eastwood & Company, 10 p.m., E! I imagine being married to Clint Eastwood is a lot like being forced to watch Unforgiven over and over in a small, airless room. So perhaps having her own reality show is just something to do to pass the time, but perhaps it is a cry for help (like Gary Busey’s wife on Wife Swap). So I plan to watch closely, for clues. “Clint Eastwood's wife, Dina, introduces their daughters and their housekeeper, then Dina reveals her passion project.”

American Graffiti, 8 p.m., TCM Oh, I love this movie. I have not seen it in years. Might be the perfect Friday night antidote to another crazy week. Maybe I’ll swing by the store and pick up a pocket comb, a pack of gum, and a bottle of whiskey and just settle in. The Celebrity Apprentice, 8 p.m., CNBC In case you missed the look on Aubrey’s face last Sunday when she got fired – or the even better look on her face when Arsenio picked Teresa over her after that – you can watch it all again tonight. Or even if you have already seen it and you simply enjoyed it as much as we did – watch it again! Say Yes To The Dress: Bridesmaids, 9:30 p.m., TLC “A church pastor mother who doesn't want the sexy short dress; a mother that doesn't want her …

The disco queen may be gone, but the mirrored ball still spins.
Donna Summer, the Queen of Disco, died Thursday at the age of 63. Among other things, she was the first artist to have three straight double albums reach No. 1, and she won five Grammys. She’ll be missed. In honor of Ms. Summer, here are her top 5 songs of all time: 5. She Works Hard for the Money - OK, I remember Summer as more of a 70s icon than an 80s artist. But this little gem is timeless in serving as a constant reminder to “treat her right.” You know. Bring home some flowers once in a while. And would it kill you to shave and pick up after yourself? Jeez, you know, she works long hours to support your sorry bum. And all you do is sit home and eat pork rinds and watch MMA. Get a life. OK, I’m pretty sure I’m reading more into that …
Ten Nutmeggers — one of whom saved 40 lives — survived the torpedoing of the ship in May 1915.
As was the case with the Titanic, the "what ifs" associated with the sinking of the Lusitania are haunting. Perhaps the biggest question centers around the transfer of passengers in New York from the SS Cameronia to the Lusitania. The transfer of people and baggage delayed the Lusitania's departure from New York by more than two hours. Had the big ship departed on time it is quite likely that it would not have crossed paths with German U-Boat U-20, thus averting disaster. Instead, the transfer not only added to the casualty list, but it also guaranteed the ship's ill-fated rendezvous with U-20 — an encounter that cost the lives of three Connecticut residents, as detailed in last week's column. This week we'll take a look at some of the …

Person of Interest, 9 p.m., CBS What a great season this turned out to be. I love when a new show starts out intriguing and then gets better. Such a rarity. Tonight, in the season finale (it has been renewed), all hell breaks loose as the government closes in on Reese. Finch, Fusco and Carter must save him! Do you think they will? And do you think they will finally explain why HR is called HR? 30 Rock, 8:30 p.m., NBC In the season finale (renewed!!!) jack asks Liz to officiate at his and Avery’s vow renewal. Remember what happened the last time Liz was at Jack and Avery’s wedding? She ended up married to Jack. So this could be fun. Missing, 8 p.m., ABC Hope you didn’t love this, because it ain’t coming back.

Modern Family, 9 p.m., ABC Last week’s episode was the perfect mix of emotion and humor. The humanity of Jay was really touching, in both his reminiscences of the dissolution of his marriage, and his care of Gloria’s feet. Don’t Trust The B …, 9:30 p.m., ABC “Meatballs!” Seriously, if you are not watching this – why not? And thank goodness, it has been renewed! Criminal Minds, 9 p.m., CBS Season finale — and for all you fans of rampant misogyny, this has been renewed.

NCIS, 8 p.m., CBS It’s finale, finale, finale this week all over the schedule. In tonight’s season finale here, “Shaken by terrorism, the NCIS faces devastating surprises; the case impacts Jimmy Palmer's destination wedding.” At 9, the two-hour season finale of the LA version offers this: “Callen and the team pursue a criminal mastermind motivated by revenge.” America’s Got Talent, 8 p.m., NBC San Francisco! So many unique and talented individuals here. Private Practice, 10 p.m., ABC The switch to Tuesdays has not been kind to this tired dishrag of a medical drama, but fear not the few of who remain devoted – it looks like ABC will renew for one more season, if only to give them a chance to figure out a way to kill everyone off in the most…

An interview with the first winner of the Enfield Idol competition.
At the first Enfield Idol singing competition on May 4, Chad Glabach outlasted 17 other vocalists to win the Grand Champion prize. Glabach, 26, grew up in Leyden, MA on the Vermont border, and graduated from Pioneer Valley Regional High School in 2004. He went on to Westfield State College, starting off as a music major, then switching to business ("totally different things, but it seemed more practical at the time"). He has been manager of Follett's Bookstore at Asnuntuck Community College since Sept. 2011, and has lived in Enfield for about six months. Enfield Patch sat down with Glabach Friday afternoon to let its readers find out more about the first Enfield Idol champion. Q: When did you first become interested in singing? A: I …
