Reminder: The "I Love Lucy" marathon is going on over on the Hallmark Channel.

Teen Spirit (7pm, ABC Family) - In a new TV movie filmed in Wilmington earlier this year, a recently deceased queen bee (Cassie Scerbo) must transform a geeky classmate (Lindsey Shaw) into their school's prom queen in order to be granted a rewarding afterlife.

Teen Choice Awards (8pm, Fox) - Scotty McCreery is nominated for Male Breakout Artist in this 13th annual ceremony honoring teens' favorites in entertainment, sports, and fashion. But he's not likely to appear live on tonight's show because the American Idol Tour is in Detroit (but via satellite maybe?). You'll still get to see Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Robert Pattinson, Joe Jonas, Jason Bateman, Kristen Bell, and Tyler Posey. Kaley Cuoco hosts and will.i.am is the DJ.

Season 25: Oprah Behind the Scenes (8pm, OWN) - In the show's finale, staff emotions run high during the taping of the May 25, 2011 finale of "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

Drop Dead Diva (9pm, Lifetime) - Jane's mom gets arrested when she uses an airplane's emergency exit, and Grayson talks Deb's mom into suing a casino when it uses a photo of Deb in a distasteful ad campaign. Sharon Lawrence reprises her role as Deb's mom.

Falling Skies (9pm, TNT) - In a special 2-hour season finale, growing tension divides the 2nd Mass unit as their planned assault on an alien base draws near, and Tom (Noah Wyle, right) contemplates a disturbing discovery about the Skitters. Most importantly, mysteries about the aliens' motives might finally be answered.

True Blood (9pm, HBO) - Marnie's powers from beyond force Bill to take evasive, though unpopular action to save vampires, and Eric turns his amnesia into an asset.

Hillbilly Handfishin' (10pm, Animal Planet) - In this new show from Animal Planet, host Skipper Bevins and his partner Jackson take regular people on trips to Oklahoma to "noodle" for catfish. That means they try to catch giant catfish with their bare hands. The clients featured in this first episode include two women from Boston, a brother and sister from California, and two police officers from Chicago.

In Plain Sight (10pm, USA) - In the Season 4 finale, Mary's work interferes with Brandi's wedding when Mary is forced to look after her least favorite witness. Also, I'm assuming Mary will finally make a decision about her baby.

Coolest thing about Oprah's final show: She gave me her email address!

That's right. I can send a note to oprah@oprah.com and I might get a personal message from Oprah and she might read my email. At Happiness, we thought this opened up a lot of possibilites.

SUBJECT LINE: HEY

Hey, Oprah! What's up?

Other than that, Oprah's final show was, she said, a love letter to us, her viewers. But it was also our final lesson from a teacher who was also taught by us in the world's biggest classroom. And it was kind of a review session to make sure we got the major points of our 25 year-long course. For those reluctantly enrolled in O University, the final show was easy to mock. Those with an O graduate degree, earned credits toward a PhD.

Can you pay tribute to O too many times?

Perhaps. But at Happiness we're nothing if we're not exuberant!

So we turned to Gigi Karmous-Edwards, a Raleigh resident and Oprah FAN!!, who designs the Uvo bag collection, to share what O has meant to her:

"I am having a hard time imagining life without watching the Oprah show everyday at 4 o’clock. She has had an incredible impact on my life in every way possible, and I look up to her and what she has done for so many people.

As Oprah Winfrey ends her afternoon talk show today, much has been written about her impact on American culture, books, television, women's lives, and more.

But O's departure means something else to me. It marks the end of my mom's dream of being on Oprah.

When you're a writer, you always get the writing assignments in the family (obits, wedding speeches, graduation speeches) and mom just knew I would write THE letter that would tell her story so poignantly that Oprah would fly her out and sit her on the couch.

Millions of people will tune in today for the final episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show." One devoted Oprah fan who will be glued to the screen for every last minute is a local woman who met the talk show queen way back when.

Linda V. Eldridge of Four Oaks isn't just a casual Oprah fan.  She was actually a guest on the show back in 1987, during the first week of Oprah's second season on air.

Eldridge says the topic of the show was something along the lines of "Don't be afraid to marry down" -- a look at women who picked mates based solely on their socio-economic status.

One of the most brutal hours of TV I've ever seen didn't happen on cable; it was when Oprah Winfrey dismantle James Frey for the fabrications in his best-selling memoir, "A Million Little Pieces" in 2006.

The message was clear: Do not make Oprah feel stupid or she will take you OUT.

Well, get set for what could be some more interesting TV. According to the New York Post, Winfrey has invited Frey to be among her final guests next month as her daytime TV show comes to an end.

Fairly early in the interview between Piers Morgan and Oprah Winfrey there was a moment that illustrated how things were going to go. Piers brought up Oprah's interview with Barbara Walters, and the moment when talk of her BFF Gayle King brought O to tears.

Oprah said that she knew where Barbara was going, that Babs wanted to talk about the gay rumors, but that when Barbara shaped the question by asking what 'that friendship has meant to you', Oprah decided to just focus on that and thinking about that is what made her weepy. "I knew what she wanted but I was going to make her ask me," Oprah said.

And that says it all. Because despite the pre-show hype about Piers Morgan CNN premiere in Larry King's old slot, and his big catch in interviewing Oprah (Oprah said it was the toughest interview she's had in 20 years, but think about it, how many times has she been interviewed?), and how good an interviewer Piers is said to be, Oprah is a formidable interview.

How I Met Your Mother (8pm, CBS) - The gang accompanies Marshall to Minnesota in the wake of his father's death, and Marshall meets the bully who used to terrorize him in high school.

House (8pm, Fox) - House tries to avoid Cuddy's birthday dinner because her opinionated mother (Candice Bergen, left) will be there. I can't wait for this. Bergen is scheduled to appear in a multiple-episode arc.

The Bachelor (8pm, ABC) - Emily, the former fiance of late NASCAR driver Ricky Hendrick, finally tells the girls in the house about her tragic past. But will she able to tell Brad on their romantic one-on-one date? Also, Seal serenades one of Brad's dates and one woman asks to leave the competition. Look for a recap of the show late tonight.

Piers Morgan Tonight (9pm, CNN) - The first show from the "Larry King Live" replacement, which is hosted by TV personality Piers Morgan. Morgan's first guest is Oprah Winfrey.

Being Human (9pm, Syfy) - The first episode in a new series that follows three supernatural beings who try to live like humans. It's a remake of a very popular British series. See our review.

Harry's Law (10pm, NBC) - Kathy Bates stars in a quirky new legal drama from David E. Kelley (is there any other kind of David E. Kelley drama?). Bates plays a once-successful patent attorney named Harriet Korn, who is fired and decides to start over with her own practice. She opens an office in an abandoned shoe store in a rough section of Cincinnati and in her first case, defends a troubled young man (Aml Ameen) facing his third drug offense. Nate Corddry joins the firm as another attorney and Brittany Snow plays the secretary. We didn't get a copy to preview, but the buzz is "meh." We like David E. Kelley and Kathy Bates, so we're giving it a shot.

Skins (10pm, MTV) - In yet another American adaptation of a British show, this edgy new series is aimed at teens. Tonight, Tony offers to help Stanley lose his virginity. Should your teens watch? Adrienne helps you answer that question.

It was rainy and grey outside, my back ached from standing and waiting for the acorn to drop. Perfect excuse to stay in, lounge on the couch, and watch OWN, Oprah Winfrey's new cable channel.

I started at noon, with the Oprah-hosted guide -- that white on white outfit was not flattering, O, not even a little -- and stayed tuned until my eyes started to hurt and my family got belligerent. My impressions:

Kidnapped by the Kids: It's a show about how parents work so much their kids have to kidnap them to get their attention, so you know it's sappy, even without the treacly music they add with every poignant moment. Don't know how many times they can tell this story in fresh way. And by the way, why don't we deal with the real issue -- the bosses who demand more and more work for less pay!!

Oprah Winfrey's OWN channel debuts tomorrow, January 1, replacing the Discovery Health Channel.

For Time Warner Cable customers, that means channel 259. For DirecTV, channel 279, and on Dish Network, 189. If you have AT&T U-Verse, it'll be on 256.

The network will debut at noon with a show called "Oprah's Guide to OWN," a one-hour special in which Oprah tells you about some of her favorite programs on the network (from midnight tonight until noon tomorrow you can watch something called "Countdown to OWN," featuring previews of shows).

Throughout the rest of the day there will be sneak peeks of some of those shows, such as "Enough Already with Peter Walsh," a show about organizing and reducing clutter (Walsh used to host "Clean Sweep" on TLC). There will also be a preview of a show called "Searching for..." featuring an investigative geanealogist, and "In the Bedroom with Laura Berman," hosted by sex therapist Laura Berman . We'll also get to see the first episode of "Oprah Presents Master Class," which will profile Jay-Z.

Adrienne is going to watch some of these shows and let us know if they're any good. Look for that report here next week!

Here's the full schedule for the OWN network.
