1) “American Ninja Warrior” finale, 8-10 p.m., NBC. Over the past three weeks, 32 people have survived head-to-head competition. Now (shown here) they compete, bracket-style, for the championship.
2) “Survival Mode,”10 p.m., NBC. After battering the Bahamas and Cuba in 2012, Superstorm Sandy brought 254 deaths and $69 billion damage in the U.S., much of it in New York and New Jersey. Planes and Amtrak trains were halted, subway lines were flooded; a hospital was evacuated. Here are accounts, from victims and heroes.
3) Musicals, Turner Classic Movies. Shirley Jones was a fresh-faced teen, a singer in church and in small-town school musicals. Then Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein heard her; we see here here in two of their lush films — “Oklahoma” (1955) and “Carousel” (1956) — at 5:30 and 8 p.m. ET, plus “The Music Man” (1962) at 10:15 p.m..
4) “Lego Masters, Jr.,” 8 p.m., Fox. No one was ousted last week, but now the four-week game gets serious. Each team must make a car (with celebrity-driver figure) that partly survives a leap. The designs are a delight; the leaps are semi-successful.
5) “The Quiz With Balls,” 9 p.m., Fox. After the charm of Legos, this show has only some moderately interesting moments, as “nerds” (in Renaissance faire garb) take on “jocks” (in kegger mood). You could switch to CBS’ “FBI” or the second half of ABC’s “Bachelor in Paradise.”
