2) “America’s Got Talent,” 8 p.m., NBC. We learn which four acts will reach the semi-finals. That’s in an 8 p.m. slot filled with new episodes — CBS’ “Big Brother,” Fox’s “MasterChef,” “CW’s “Family Law” (see next item) and ABC’s “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”

3) “Family Law,” 8 p.m., CW. For the fourth time, Abby (Jewel Staite) faces Marcus (David Cubitt of “Medium”). This time — while her colleagues are at a troubled corporate retreat — they represent opposite sides in a divorce. Things go well, then implode.

4) “Good Cop/Bad Cop,” 9 p.m., CW. This reruns one of the cleverest episodes of a fun show. Lily, the police dispatcher, is helping make an indie movie. Then there’s a kidnapping report, a salacious TV reporter and more.

5) ALSO: A new “Match Game” hour (9 p.m., ABC) has Andrea Martin, Tituss Burgess, Ego Nwodim, Thomas Lennon, Pete Holmes and — just before the start of football season — Von Miller. At 10, CBS has an “Elsbeth” rerun, with Jordana Brewster as a lifestyle consultant to the rich and famous.
