2) “99 to Beat,” 8 p.m. ET, Fox. For Fox games, 100 is the prime number. There are 100 contestants in “The Floor” and “1% Club” and now here. In an arena (watched by Erin Andrews and Ken Jeong), they try basic games and tasks. Each time, the last person is ousted, until a lone winner gets $1 million.

3) Fox season preview, 9 p.m., Fox. There’s not a lot to preview, actually. Fox only has two new shows and one (“Celebrity Weakest Link” on Mondays) is basically 25 years old. Last season, Fox debuted the terrific “Murder in a Small Town” and “Doc”; now they’re on Tuesdays, Fox’s only scripted shows.

4) “The Unforgotten,” 10 p.m., PBS. A week from its compelling conclusion, this show still abounds with people who might have killed a lout who was a cruel husband, father, lover, employer and landlord. Compelling cases build on all sides. That’s preceded by an OK “Professor T” at 8 p.m. and the first half of a solid “Marlow Murder Club” at 9.

5) “The Happiest Story on Earth: 70 Years of Disneyland,” 8:01-10 p.m., ABC. Well, Disneyland is quite a happy place, actually. But we’re not sure ABC (owned by Disney) can give us the most even-handed overview.
