1) “The Neighborhood” season-finale, 8 p.m., CBS. It’s graduation time for Malcolm and Grover, so their moms plan a double party (shown here). That’s in the first half-hour; in the second, Malcolm heads into a new world – but still in Los Angeles. This fall, “Neighborhood” returns for its eighth and final season.

2) “NCIS” season-finale, 9 p.m., CBS. The 22nd season concludes with big troubles. Two fierce villains — Nexus and Mob boss Carla Marino — may be linking. Also, there’s a high-stakes plot involving stolen nuclear material.

3) “The Voice” (NBC) and “American Idol” (ABC), 8-10 p.m. Heading toward its May 20 finale, “Voice” continues its playoff round. And nearing a May 18 finale, ABC is down to its final eight. Tonight, they tackle songs chosen by the judges.

4) “All American” season-finale, 8 p.m., CW. The seventh season ends amid doubts there will be an eighth. For now, it’s the big football game — working-class Crenshaw vs. upscale Beverly, with viewers having rooting interests on both sides. For key people — including quarterback KJ and coach Jordan — outside events may in the way.

5) “Harry Wild” season-openers, www.acorn.tv. The first episode is rough, involving a random killer. The second one, well-plotted, involves a maybe-suicide in a convent. That helps launch Acorn’s “May mystery month.” There are new episodes of “Brokenwood.” “Murdoch” and “The One That Got Away,” plus all episodes of the 2015 series “Safe House.”
