1) “Grey’s Anatomy” return, 10 p.m. Thursday, ABC. After a three-week rest, “Grey’s” (shown here in a previous episode) is back for the final two episodes of its 22nd season. Next week will see the departure of Teddy and Owen, plus cliffhangers. This week, however, it’s the sort of big-deal event the show savors: The Royal Bridge collapses, putting all the doctors in crisis mode.
2) “Elsbeth,” 9 and 10 p.m. Thursday, CBS. Now that “Matlock” has ended its season, “Elsbeth” moves into the same spot (9 p.m.) it will have this fall. That means the light mystery follows two comedies. S new episode (at 9) has Constance Wu as a “wealth therapist” who knows too much. It’s followed by a rerun, with a bio-hacker obsessing on longevity.
3) “The 1% Club,” 8 p.m. today, Fox. Joel McHale’s comedy (“Animal Control” finished its season last week, but now he’s still hosting TV’s best game show. Tonight’s contestants include on person who’s been on Jerry Springer’s show and another who was one of the zombies on “The Walking Dead.” Also, there’s someone with a Barack Obama impression.
4) “Sullivan’s Crossing” (CW) or “American Idol” (ABC), both 8 p.m. today. “Crossing” remains sunny, despite woes; one woman loses her job, another has lost her relationship. And “Idol” is two weeks from its finale. Tonight (with Nikki Glaser as guest judge), contestants will do Taylor Swift songs; viewers will trim the field from seven to five.
5) “NCIS,” 8 p.m. Tuesday, CBS. LL Cool J is turning “NCIS” into a lifetime assignment. He was Sam Hanna for 14 seasons on “NCIS: Los Angeles,” plus 12 episodes on “NCIS: Hawaii”; this fall, he’ll star in the new “NCIS: New York.” First, however, he has his sixth “NCIS” episode. The team comes together to defend one of its own, who’s been framed for murder.
6) “Our Shared Planet” season-opener, 10 p.m. Wednesday, PBS. Even in packed cities, nature manages to survive. We see mountain lions in Los Angeles, a huge oyster project in New York, forests blooming in the packed cities of Medellin and Singapore. That follows a fairly good “Nova,” with reminders of Athens’ democracy, 2,500 years ago,
7) “Now Hear This” season-finale, 9 p.m. Friday, PBS. Here’s the show’s best hour yet, a visit to Iceland. The scenery is stunning, the people are appealing — “we’re doers,” one says — and the music is abundant. With only 400,000 people, Iceland averages 500 new albums a year. This hour ranges from choral music inside a volcano to a thundering cello concerto.
8) Hoops and horses. The first round of the basketball playoffs continues on NBC, ABC, cable and Prime, with the seventh and final games (if needed) Saturday and Sunday. At the same time, NBC obsesses on the Kentucky Derby. It has one preview at 8 p.m. Friday, another at 11:30 a.m. PT Saturday. The Derby itself is set for 3:57, lasting two minutes or so.
9) “Saturday Night Live,” 11:29 p.m. Saturday, NBC. After a couple weeks of reruns, “SNL” starts a three-episodes surge to close the season. That starts with youthful zest: Olivia Rodrigo, 23, has her first turn as host and third as music guest. (By comparison, the May 16 season-finale has Will Ferrell, 58, and Paul McCartney, 83.) Next week has Matt Damon and Noah Kahan.
10) “The Audacity,” 9 p.m, Sunday, AMC, rerunning at 10:20. Duncan was manic when he was losing; he’s even worse when he thinks he’s winning. This episode has a wild and twisted ride for all three Silicon Valley families. It’s in a dark drama night, as “Call the Midwife” and “The Count of Monte Crsisto” (8 and 9 p.m., PBS) set up next week’s season finales.
