They wrote songs that became hits for Elvis Presley, The Coasters, The Drifters, and Ben E. King. Kudos to 'Idol' for recognizing their significant contribution to rock and roll, but really? Also, Lady Gaga is the guest mentor (apparently Doris Day was busy).

Happy Endings (10pm, ABC) - Two back-to-back new episodes again this week. This show is really funny and I won't stop harping on it till you watch. I already let your complacency cost me "Perfect Couples." In the first episode, Dave and Alex must decide what to do about the his-and-her tattoos they got when they were a couple. In the second episode, Penny dates a teacher Dave admires and discovers he's not as wonderful as everyone thinks.

Dateline: William & Kate - A Royal Love Story (8pm, NBC) - NBC ditches one of the few remaining episodes of "Undercovers" to slap together a special on the engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The Middle/Better With You/Modern Family/Cougar Town (8pm, ABC) - ABC comedies all have special Halloween episodes tonight. On "The Middle," Frankie and Mike are invited to an adult Halloween party in the neighborhood. On "Better With You" (just picked up for a full season) Maddie is upset that her birthday, which falls on Halloween, is always overshadowed, so Mia and Casey offter to throw her a party. On "Modern Family," Claire's elaborate Halloween plans (evidence at lef) depend on the rest of the family's help with trick-or-treaters, and the holiday conjures up terrible memories for Cameron.
