As a multi-day, every-episode warm-up to Sunday’s finale of Mad Men, AMC is presenting a mega-marathon, showing every episode of the series, in order, beginning with the Season 1 premiere episode, televised tonight at 6 p.m. ET. Don Draper keeps running – and, as in the opening credits, falling – all the way to Sunday’s 10 p.m. ET wrap-up.

It’s not quite Boyhood, but on this series, we’ve seen the kids grow quite a lot – and that includes Sue (Eden Sher), who, over the years, has lost her braces and gained her confidence. Tonight, in the Season 6 finale of The Middle, she graduates from high school.

SEASON FINALE: The news is out that next year will be the last for American Idol. That gives this penultimate Idol crowning a bit more oomph – but even with a troika of judges who get along, this series basically stayed a bit too long at the mic. And it didn’t help that this year, when it got to the Final Three, one of the most deserving of them, Jax Cole (center, flanked by surviving finalists Clark Beckham and Nick Fradiani), was sent packing. For my full story about the announced

Alex (Ariel Winter) has been given lots of screen attention at the end of this season, as she nears high school graduation. And tonight, she gets the spotlight once again, as the unwilling participant of her family’s “Skip Day” tradition.

CBS is unveiling only five new shows for fall, and saving two of those for November. One of them is the latest comic-book superhero spinoff. Look, up in the sky! It’s a bird. It’s a plane! It’s… Supergirl…

The Muppets are coming! The Muppets are coming! ABC made other announcements about its new fall schedule – but nothing else got me psyched like the return of Kermit and company…

Last fall, Fox’s only successful new series was Gotham, which explains why the network is aggressively targeting young demos and genre fans next season. But for fall, the shows look quite promising…

SEASON FINALE: Last week, this series overtly mentioned what Tony Stark did in creating Ultron, nearly destroying the planet as the run-amok metallic behemoth did in the currently running Avengers: Age of Ultron movie. This week, the focus in this two-hour finale is on which side Skye will choose in another powerful rising threat, which pits the survivors of S.H.I.E.L.D.
