1) “Fast and Furious” films (shown here) everywhere. How many roaring engines and screeching tires do we need in one day? Today brings eight of the nine “F&F” movies; the missing one shows up Sunday. WGN America has the first four at 9 and 11 a.m. and 1:30 and 3:30 p.m.; it reruns the first two at 5:30 and 7:30, skips the third and reruns the fourth at 10. The fifth? That’s at 5:45 p.m. on HBO. Others are at 8 p.m. – the seventh on FX, the eighth on NBC, the ninth on HBO. That leaves the sixth, at 10 p.m. Sunday on FX. Read more…

1) “Flack” season-opener, 10 p.m., Pop. Anna Paquin (shown here) produces this smart, saucy show and stars as Robyn, a public-relations whiz who shields London’s celebrities … while ducking her own pill addiction. As the second, six-week season starts, she adds a new personal problem … and more people need help. One is caught in a brothel raid; another (Daniel Dae Kim) is brought by Robyn’s boss’ ex-husband … played by Sam Neill, Paquin’s “The Piano” co-star. Read more…

1) “Project Runway” finale, 9 p.m., Bravo. It’s time for the final four … or maybe three. Last week, four designers each showed three pieces, with judges considering sending someone home before the Fashion Week final. Then … well, the episode ended without telling us if they all survived. For now, we have opposites: Nancy Volpe-Beringer (shown here) is 64 and went to fashion school at 58. Victoria Cocieru is 27 and was a teen TV host in her native Moldava. Sergio Guadarrama is 36; Geoffrey Mac is 42. Read more…

1) “Modern Family” marathon, 8-11 p.m, ABC. Four weeks from its finale, this clever show – five-time winner of the best-comedy Emmy – reruns six episodes chosen by viewers. That starts with the pilot, introducing Lily to the family, and follows at 8:30 with the hilarious moment when the kids see their parents having sex. Jay helps Manny’s sales at 9, with a Las Vegas trip (shown here) at 9:30; a gem using Claire’s computer at 10; and an alliance to hide mistakes at 10:30. Read more…

1) “Empire,” 9 p.m., Fox. When Tracy was killed last week, it set off aftershocks. Cookie, who shot her in self-defense, keeps flashing back to a long-ago murder she committed. Her son Andre’s condition is getting worse, as he imagines that he sees – and is controlled by – Tracy’s late son Jeff Kingsley. As usual, “Empire” mixes soap-opera excess with great music. Now it’s Kiandra Richardson (shown here) as the immensely talented Yana, reminding us that this overwrought show is still about music-makers. Read more…

1) “The Bachelor” finale, 8-10 p.m., ABC; concludes 8-10 p.m. Tuesday. Let’s not even try to figure this out. Peter Weber, 28, a pilot, is supposed to choose Madison Prewett or Hannah Ann Sloss (shown here), both 23. But Prewett, a foster parent recruiter, had said she’s saving herself for marriage and probably couldn’t continue if he’d slept with the others; he said he had. Prewett left … and returned. Now Weber is supposed to choose her or Sloss, a model. First, there’s a visit form his family and some more drama. Read more…

1) “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist,” 9 p.m., NBC, and more. In an era that lacks music variety shows, we’ll settle for scripted shows that ripple with songs. Here are three, with Skylar Astin in two of them. In “Playlist” — a fun show, with Zoey (Jane Levy) hearing people’s thoughts via song — Astin (shown here with Levy) is Zoey’s friend Jesse; tonight has a key moment with his bubbly girlfriend. In “Perfect Pitch” (2012, 5:50 p.m., Freeform), he’s Max, in a choral group. He’s not in “Yesterday” (2019, 6:55 p.m., HBO), but it’s a music gem. Read more…
