1) “Resident Alien,” 10 p.m., USA and Syfy. Things are unfolding quickly. Last week, Harry finally got his alien persona (shown here in a previous episode) back … just as the mayor and his wife arrived; they hadn’t known that the town doctor is also is a 12-foot-tall alien. We also learned that the Mantid has assumed the body of an FBI agent. Now Harry enlists an unlikely ally, trying to save the town.
2) “Big Brother: Unlocked” debut, 8-9 p.m., CBS. “Big Brother” keeps growing. Its Wednesday episodes have expanded to 90 minutes. (Thursdays and Sundays remain at 60.) And this hour will appear on alternate Fridays; two previous winners, Taylor Hale and Derrick Levasseur — will host.
3) “Happy’s Place,” 8 p.m., NBC. Here’s the episode that introduced a key figure — the woman who had an affair with Happy, resulting in Bobbie’s half-sister Bella. Despite some excesses, it’s a fairly good mix of humor and emotion. Asecond episode finds Bella criticizing Steve’s accounting.
4) “Fire Country,” 9 p.m., CBS. It’s fun to be a Renaissance Faire fire-eater, we assume. But things might go bad, igniting a tent holding fireworks. That happens in this rerun; afterward, an “NCIS: Sydney” re-rerun starts with a car explosion and plunges into the world of conspiracy theories.
5) “Happy Gilmore 2,” Netflix. The original had Adam Sandler as a former hockey player who becomes a ,golfer, ignoring the game’s niceties. Now, 29 years later, he has the sequel. Other films range from Lindsay Lohan on Freeform (“The Parent Trap” and “Freaky Friday,” 5:50 and 8:55 p.m.) to “The Godfather,” at 8 p.m. on the Paramount Network.
