1) “Best Medicine” season-finale, 8 p.m. Tuesday, Fox. Last week’s hour set this up neatly: Visiting Norwegians tricked the town into a damaging deal … Greg and George (shown here, left) mentioned they’d secretly married … and Dr. Best pointed Louisa to his ex-girlfriend, a fertility expert. Now that blends beautifully, in an episode that mixes fun with strong emotion.
2) “Audacity” debut, 9 p.m. Sunday, AMC, repeats at 10:09 and 11:38. We’re in Palo Alto, Cal, — tech turf, where everyone seems wildly rich and hugely sad and angry. The saddest is Duncan (Billy Magnussen), whose company may be plummeting. Like “Succession,” this brilliantly entwines generations of flawed (and sometimes funny) humans.
3) Basketball finals, 5:30 p.m. PT today, TBS, TNT and TruTV. It’s time to decide the college champion. First is the big build-up: “Coach K” (Mike Krzyzewski) ia at 3 p.m.; a studio show at 3:30 has Charles Barkley, Clark Kellogg, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson, Then it’s the game (called by Ian Eagle, Bill Rafferty and Grant Hill) and post-game show.
4) “St. Denis Medical” season-finale, 8 p.m. Monday, NBC. Dr. Ron (David Alan Grier) has been a curmudgeon, resisting warmth. Now he faces triple-bypass surgery and insists he just wants to be ignored. Put that alongside another story — the aftermath of Matt and Serena’s passionate kiss — and you have a terrific episode, rippling with humor and sentiment.
5) “Lucy Worsley Investigates,” 9 p.m. Tuesday, PBS. This isn’t really an investigation, but it is interesting — a two-week, British perspective on the revolution. America, Worsley says, had lots of loyal subjects — including Benjamin Franklin, who spent parts of 16 years in London. Then came royal mis-steps; the king’s statue was literally turned into musket balls.
6) “The Floor” season-opener, 8-10 p.m. Wednesday, Fox. This is turnover time for Fox — finales of “Extracted” and “Memory of a Killer” on Monday and “Best Medicine” on Tuesday, plus the return of cartoons Sunday. Now Rob Lowe’s show returns, with 100 people each holding a square. To add turf, they must challenge others in their categories.
7) “Chicago Med,” 8 p.m. Wednesday, NBC. This wraps a powerful two-parter, focusing on Dr. Charles (Oliver Platt), the psychiatrist. Last week, his world caved in — a failure at the suicide hotline, a patient’s complaint, a fight with his daughter; he collapsed, alone. This hour — beautifully acted by Platt — starts there, with his mind drifting through past pain.
8) “R.J. Decker,” 8-11 p.m. Thursday, ABC. If you haven’t been watching this show (10 p.m. Tuesdays), here’s a chance to try the first episodes. Decker (Scott Speedman), created by clever novelist Carl Hiaasen, is an ex-con. In the first hour, he becomes a private-eye in Miami. In the second, he helps an ex-cellmate; in the third, he searches for a tycoon’s son.
9) “Happy’s Place,” 8 p.m. Friday, NBC. This show gets much better when Jane Lynch — the five-time Emmy-winner — arrives as Gabby’s imperious mother. Now (after a poor episode last week without her), she’s back. She’s staying with Gabby, who’s desperate to oust her. Alongside another story (date night for Emmett), it’s a fun episode.
10) MORE: There are more season-openers — an excellent “Now Hear This” (9 p.m. Friday, PBS), visiting Bach’s homes and music; and the much-honored “Euphoria” (9 p.m. Sunday, HBO). Also, PBS’ “Nature” (8 p.m. Wednesday) starts a two-part elephant film, And “Saturday Night Live” (11:30 p.m. Saturday, NBC) is hosted by Colman Domingo.
