1) “The Amazing Race” opener, 9:30-11 p.m., CBS. It’s the show’s largest line-up, with 14 duos. There are married nurses and dating nurses. Three more duos are married, including Las Vegas performers and the parents of eight boys. There are father-son lumberjacks (shown here) and Chicago’s retired gangs-and-narcotics chief, who’s with his daughter.
2) “The Flip-Off” finale, 8-9:30 p.m., HGTV. For five weeks, ex-spouses Christina Hall and Tarek El Moussa have competed room-by-room in home-makeovers. There’s been great design and personal troubles, including the crumbling of Hall’s third marriage. Now they have a final challenge (judged by Jeff Lewis) and put the houses up for sale.
3) “Abbott Elementary,” 8:30 p.m., ABC. Ava is pressured to remove a book from the library; she does – and is pressured from the other side. That follows “Shifting Gears,” with Riley and her dad at her daughter’s Career Day,
4) “Good Cop/Bad Cop,” 9 p.m., CW. A high school rivalry peaks when the new quarterback is attacked. The schemes go much deeper, we find, in a clever hour. That follows a “Wild Cards” in which an old friend lures Max toward her con-woman days.
5) MORE: “The Chicago shows (8-11 p.m., NBC) start with a doctor and a firefighter combining for a dangerous rescue. And Showtime has three potent winners of the best-picture Oscar – “Million Dollar Baby” (2004), 8 p.m.; “The Godfather” (1972), 10:15; and its sequel (1974), 1:15 a.m.
