American Idol
Thursday at 8 p.m. on KLSR
Not only does the winner
named here end up as the
“American Idol” for this season,
but also as the last one for the
entire show — at least for the
foreseeable future — since this
is the series finale. Expect emo-
tions to run high as host Ryan
Seacrest and judges Harry
Connick Jr., Jennifer Lopez
and Keith Urban participate in
the final coronation. And also
expect the show to run long, as
it factors in performances by al-
ums Kelly Clarkson and Carrie
Underwood.
Game of Silence
Tuesday at 10 p.m. on
KGW, KOBI
Echoing “Mystic River” and
“Sleepers,” this new drama
series previews with its “Pilot”
as four friends face a nightmare
from their shared past. It’s tied
to the fallout from the others’
effort to save one of them (Bre
Blair) from her alcoholic mother,
a situation that plays out in
the present — and that they
must resolve for good. Larenz
Tate, David Lyons and Michael
Raymond-James play the other
pals. Another episode airs in
the show’s regular slot Thursday.
Strong
Wednesday at 9 p.m. on KOBI
Sylvester Stallone is among the
executive producers of this com-
petition show, which premieres
with two episodes, “Welcome to
Strong” and “Balls to the Wall.”
Ten female contestants pair off
with male trainers in a series of
challenges to balance physical
and mental health. Something
else will be attained by the
team that wins: $500,000. The
host is someone who knows
about the subject, volleyball vet-
eran Gabrielle Reece. Another
episode airs Thursday.
