1) “Survivor” season-opener, 8-10 p.m., CBS. This diverse batch of contestants ranges from a slot-machine salesman, 22, to a parenting coach, 48. It includes natives of India, Guyana and Hong Kong. There’s an actor, an artist and a musician; also, a science teacher, an aerospace technician and a software engineer. Now they get muddy (ahown here) in a hurry; after a couple weeks of two-hour episodes, this will recede to 90 minutes.
2) “We Are Family” finale, 8-10 p.m., Fox. Next week will be changeover time for Fox, including (at last), some scripted shows. First, this amiable reality show concludes, with Anthony Anderson hosting. He’s helped by his mom and, this week, Joel McHale — whose “Aniimal Control” returns next Wednesday, after the “Masked Singer” opener.
3) “Wild Cards,” 8 p.m., CW. Until now, Jason Priestley (the long-ago “Beverly Hills, 90210” star) has been confined to jailhouse scenes. Now he gets a three-day pass to spend his birthday with his daughter Max. They used to work con jobs together; now she’s with the police and he wants to do one more scam.
3) “Abbott Elementary,” 9 p.m., ABC. Janine is investigating a new substitute teacher; also, Ava notices tension, when Barbara’s church choir rehearses in the gym. That wraps up a comedy night that has “The Conners” (Mark starts commuting to college) and “Not Dead Yet”: Nell shares an office with s sportwriter who likes everyone but her.
5) “FBI True,” 10 p.m., CBS. At a Veterans Affairs hospital in Clarksburg, Va., eight patients died mysteriously. With no surveillance video or witnesses, FBI agents exhumed the bodies and pored over thousands of pages of medical records.
