1) “Oprah With Meghan and Harry,” 8-10 p.m., CBS. Exactly a year ago, Meghan Markle had her last official duty in the royal family. She and her husband, Prince Harry (they’re show here), have since moved to the U.S. and become financially independent. Their son Archie turns 2 on May 6; their third anniversary is May 19. This Valentine’s Day, they announced that Markle is pregnant. Now this special – scheduled for 90 minutes, then expanded – has her conversing with Oprah Winfrey; then they’re joined by Harry.

2) Critics’ Choice awards, 7-10 p.m., CW. A week after the Golden Globes, here’s a key difference: The Globes have five nominations apiece for dramas and comedies; this has 10 best-picture nods – all going to dramas. (There’s also a comedy-movie category, plus TV categories.) “Da 5 Bloods,” snubbed by the Globes, has six nominations, including best picture, director Spike Lee, star Delroy Lindo and the late Chadwick Boseman … up for supporting actor here and for actor in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.”

3) “Good Girls” season-opener, 10 p.m., NBC. Desperate for cash, these three women simply wanted to do a one-time robbery, then resume their suburban lives. Instead, they’ve become entangled with a crime gang; it killed the artist who created counterfeit bills, then got Beth’s prints on the gun. In this so-so episode, she tries to get the gun back … while using her husband’s store for money-laundering.

4) “The Great North,” 8:30 p.m., Fox. Only the Northlands would make a sport out of sliding and sweeping on ice. That’s curling, which we visit tonight, in a moderately amusing episode that has some good moments near the end.

5) ALSO: The Meghan/Harry special wipes out both “NCIS” shows tonight. CBS also pushes “The Equalizer” back to 10 p.m., for a rerun of an episode in which an FBI employee must steal secrets in order to get her son back. Also, pro basketball’s “all-star weekend” has been trimmed to one night. The skills challenges are at 6:30 p.m. ET on TNT, with the game at 8 and the slam-dunk contest at halftime.
