1) “Best Medicine” season-finale, 8 p.m., Fox. Last week’s hour set this up neatly: Visiting Norwegians tricked the town into a damaging deal … Greg and George mentioned they’d secretly married … and Dr. Best pointed Louisa to his ex-girlfriend, a fertility expert. Now that blends beautifully, in an excellent episode that often has Elaine (shown here in a previous episode) learn about her college application.
2) “Doc,” 9 p.m., Fox. A week before the season’s two-hour season-finale, the show is in its new-normal: Instead of fuming in bureaucracy, Michael is dealing with patients, as chief of internal medicine. That’s Joan’s old job, and now she’s back as a patient; Amy and Richard clash about her care.
3) “Lucy Worsley Investigates,” 9 p.m., PBS. This isn’t 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.
4) “R.J. Decker,” 10 p.m., ABC. You can catch up on this show Thursday, when ABC reruns the first three episodes. Meanwhile, tonight Decker helps a young woman probe her boyfriend’s sudden death. That follows new hours of “Will Trent” and “High Potential.”
5) Movies. Sometimes child stars do fine as adults. Catch Freddie Highmore (later the “Good Doctor” star) in the terrific “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (2005), at 8:25 p.m. on Freeform. Or two 1944 films on Turner Classic –Elizabeth Taylor, 12, in “National Velvet” at 8 p.m. ET, then former child star Judy Garland, 22, in “Meet Me in St. Louis” at 10:15.
