1) “Ghosts,” 8:30 p.m., CBS. Iain Armitage was 9 when he landed the title role in what became broadcast-TV’s best comedy, “Young Sheldon.” Now, just shy of his 18th birthday, he’s on TV for the first time in two years. Desperate for money, Sam and Jay try to use ghosts to fleece gamblers … including Armitage (shown here, left), playing himself.
2) “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage,” 8 p.m., CBS. And yes, this “Sheldon” sequel has also been excellent. Tonight continues a story that began when Mandy insisted God might be a woman; in this time and place (1990s Texas), few people agreed. Now that has hurt Georgie’s tire business; Mandy tries to repair her reputation.
3) “Animal Control,” 9 p.m., CBS. For a brief stretch, Joel McHale has double-stardom on Fox. He hosts the delightful “1% Club” on Mondays and stars here: A week from the season-finale, Frank (McHale) is shadowed by an actor (Oliver Hudson) who has a role as an animal-control officer.
4) “Matlock,” 9 p.m., CBS. A week from the two-hour season-finale, Matty and colleagues are tracing Senior’s money; they meet with an accomplice who could expose them. That’s followed by “Elsbeth,” with Griffin Dunne as a novelist who may have planned the perfect murder.
5) ALSO: ABC has reruns and gives “Grey’s Anatomy” the week off; instead, at 10, “R.J.” Decker” helps a young woman probe her boyfriend’s death. Movies are led by Tom Cruise in “Jerry Maguire” (1996), at 7 and 10 p.m. on TruTV; Steve Carell and Tina Fey in “Date Night” (2010), 7:30, HBO; and Rob Reiner’s “When Harry Met Sally”(1989), 8, MGM+.
