1) “9-1-1: Lone Star,” 9:01 p.m., Fox. Romance, it seems, can be tricky. We see that right away, when a wedding reception takes some nasty (and kind of funny) twists. Then we see it in three relationships – Owen and his ex-wife (Rob Lowe and Lisa Edelstein, shown here) … their son and his boyfriend … and Marjan and a surprise visitor (Mena Massoud, who had the title role in the 2019 “Aladdin” movie). One of the stories has an ending that perplexes the characters and the viewers, but this is still a worthy Valentine Week episode. Read more…

1) Super Bowl, 6:30 p.m., CBS. On one side is Tom Brady, 43, standing in the pocket and firing passes. After nine Super Bowls with the New England Patriots (winning six of them), he’s with the Tampa Bay Bucs. On the other is Patrick Mahomes (shown here), 25, maybe scrambling. His offensive line, splintered by injuries, faces a great Buc defense; still, he’s a master of throwing quickly and on the run. Now he tries for his second straight Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs. At halftime, The Weeknd performs. Read more…

1) “A Wild Year on Earth,” 8 p.m., BBC America. This third episode begins in May, amid fierce changes. North America is in its tornado season, Indonesia starts four months of monsoon rain (up to 30 inches in a day) and South Africa goes dry. We get awesome wildlife footage, from tree frogs in Sri Lanka to mustangs (shown here, but not in a scene from the film) in the U.S., plus cuttlefish, with their grabby, eight-armed lust. There are stunning scenes, including humans celebrating the summer solstice at Stonehenge and beyond. Read more…

1) “In Concert at the Hollywood Bowl,” 9 and 10 p.m., PBS. There’s some great music here, but PBS doesn’t get the idea of front-loading the popular stuff. It has the classical hour first, the pop one second. Each hour has a weak conversation section early; each holds its big moments until late. The first hour ends with Copland and Beethoven. The second wraps with Katy Perry’s “Fireworks” (backed by fireworks) and John Williams (shown here in another concert) conducting his “Star Wars” music, before a sea of light sabers. Read more…

1) “Star Trek: Discovery” first-season finale, 10 p.m., CBS. Here’s what the previous 14 episodes have led to – an attempt to end the fierce war with the Klingons. Burnham (shown here) is in a tiny landing party with Ash (who still has memories as a Klingon) and Georgiou (whose intentions are iffy). The result has high stakes, great visuals and excessive violence against a helpless prisoner. It also has stiff dialog; you get that when your main character was raised by Vulcans. The next seasons are already on CBS All Access. Read more…
