Food for finales and premieres

We are a nation that loves to be entertained, with a little something to munch on the side. Popcorn, mints and licorice pair nicely with movies. Hot dogs and cheesy nachos go hand-in-hand with baseball. Cold pizza works with just about everything, but especially YouTube.
And television?
With so many season premieres and finales ahead, we suggest foods that complement the personality, the content and the zeitgeist of a few popular TV shows.
So, we offer a few ideas on what to eat -- and recipes -- with nine shows.
 
American Idol

An annual favorite, "American Idol" already has people picking their winner for this season. The perfect food pairing?  plus a really cheesy potato casserole.
 
Glee
 Carryout from your favorite Italian restaurant chain, heavy on the breadsticks. Or sloppy joes and potato chips. Or toss a slushies party.

Gossip Girl
Mad Men
Modern Family
NCIS
The Good Wife
30 Rock
