1) “Transplant” series-finale, 8 p.m. Thursday, NBC. It’s a deeply emotional ending for an excellent series. A surgeon for Syrian rebels, Bash (shown here) moved to Toronto, finding work, friends and a lover (who recently died). Now there’s a new crisis (a gas leak at the hospital), alongside turning points for virtually everyone. It’s all done with subtlety and skill.
2) “Patience” season-finale, 8 p.m. Sunday, PBS. Over the first five episodes, Patience Evans has transformed. Young and autistic, she burrowed in the police records section, rarely talking. Nurtured by Detective Inspector Bea Metcalf, she’s become a skilled crimesolver. Now comes a tough challenge, with Metcalf barred from a case. It’s a powerful hour.
3) Baseball All-Star game, 8 p.m. ET Tuesday, Fox. The American League has the heavy hitters: A week before the game, Cal Raleigh and Aaron Judge already had 35 and 33 home runs; Judge and Jacob Wilson were hitting .360 and .335. The National League has the No. 3 homer guy, Shohei Ohtani, one of three Dodger starters. It could be a busy night.
4) ESPYs, 8-11 p.m. Wednesday, ABC, and more. It’s a big week for sports events. There’s the home run derby (8 p.m. ET today, ESPN) and the all-star games for baseball 8 p.m. Tuesday, Fox) and the WNBA (5:30 Saturday, ABC). In between is this award shows. Shane Gillis hosts, with special awards for Oscar Robertson and others.
5) “Lego Masters,” 8 p.m. today, Fox. Key changes are coming to the show: Next month, a junior edition takes its spot; next season, Nick Cannon replaces Will Arnett as host. Still, Arnett is great in this episode. In what he claims is a replica of his 1990s bedroom (he was born in 1970), he asks duos to choose one thing to re-create. The results are impressive.
6) “Sullivan’s Crossing” season-finale, 8 p.m. Wednesday, CW. Last week ended mid-crisis: Maggie was performing surgery to restore Edna’s sight, when things went badly. Now that continues, followed by other turning points. There are questions about Maggie’s future, her dad’s romance, the town’s new diner and more. It’s a solid end to a fairly good year..
7) “”The Fixer” debut, 8-10 p.m. Friday, Fox. Abandoned as a baby in a Lebanese orphanage, Marcus Lemonis went on to be the CEO of Camping World and more. He fixed troubled businesses on CNBC’s “The Profit” and now has a similar show on Fox. It starts with a husband-wife fitness studio and a shop for car accessories and audio.
8) “Faith in the Flames: The Nichole Jolly Story,” 8 p.m. Saturday, Lifetime. In 2018, wildfire ripped through Paradise, Cal. This tells of a nurse who saved lives while her own family was missing. Chrissy Metz (“This Is Us”) stars, her second film (after “Breakthrough”) reflecting her own faith. It’s preceded at 6 by “Faith Under Fire: The Antoinette Tuff Story.”
9) “Grantchester,” 9 p.m. Sunday, PBS. Last week, Miss Scott finally said yes to the proposal from Larry. Now comes the hard part — hiding it from everyone, because inter-office marriages are forbidden. That brings some great little moments, in an otherwise somber hour. We see the personal pain of Alphy, of Leonard and of members of a rock band.
10) ALSO: “Bachelor in Paradise” doubles up, with episodes from 8-10 p.m. today and Tuesday on ABC. Also Tuesday: the strong “Renaissance: The Blood and the Beauty” mid-section (9 p.m., PBS) has a seething feud between Michelangelo and da Vinci. And at 9 and 9:30 p.m. Friday, CW adds “Totally Funny Animals” and “Totally Funny Kids.”
