Best-bets for Aug. 14: fun, fun … and a grim revival

1) “Revival” season-finale, 10 p.m., Syfy. At first, “Revival” was kind of fun — or as fun as something can be when the former dead are revived in small-town Wisconsin. Soon, alas, it turned grim and murky. Em (the sheriff’s daughter and deputy’s sister) was killed, revived and is about to be killed anew. There’s a nasty preacher (shown here), some jolts and one final twist. Read more…

There’s a nasty preacher (shown here), some jolts and one final twist.

2) Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage,” 9 p.m., CBS. This show shines whenever it tugs Georgie between his “Young Sheldon” family and his new life. One recent rerun saw him try to retrieve his runaway sister; this time, his wife works for his grandmother, the bookie. When that gets too close to home, he tries to mediate.

3) “Bob’s Burgers,” 8 p.m., Fox. Unable to sleep, Bob goes on a creative spree in the kitchen … which isn’t a good thing. It’s a new episode, as is “The Great North” (8:30), with Ham trying TV weathercasting. At 9 is a fun “1% Club” rerun, with dueling frat brothers and a guy who insists he can’t win.

4) “Celebrity Family Feud,” 8 p.m., ABC. The first game has the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders (don’t worry, this isn’t “Jeopardy”) against the Harlem Globetrotters. The second has Vanessa Bayer and Bridget Everett. That new hour is followed by two “Press Your Luck” episodes, one new and one not.

5) ALSO: With a “Naked Gun” reboot (a fun one) in theaters now, MGM+ has the two originals; they’re at 8 p.m. (1988) and 9:25 (1991). And with a new “Jurassic Park” in theaters, FX has “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” (2018) at 7; also, Comet (a digital channel) has the original “Jurassic Park” (1993) at 4 p.m. ET, with the first sequel (1997) at 7.
