Daily Best Bets

1) ”Superstar,” 10 p.m., ABC. Patrick Swayze grew up in Texas, which is football country. A knee injury ended any shot at an athletic scholarship, so he spent more time dancing for his mother, who had a jazz-ballet company and a dance studio. He took over the lead role in Broadway’s “Grease,” then went on to “Dirty Dancing” (shown here) and movie stardom, before dying of cancer at 57. This hour includes Demi Moore and Tony Goldwyn (his “Ghost” co-stars), Debbie Allen and Jaclyn Smith (his mother’s students) and more. Read more…

1) ”Snowfall,” 10 p.m., FX; reruns at 11:05, 12:09, 1:13. Last week, the wedding party of Jerome and Louanne was spiked with LSD. It was a bizarre detour, but it led to revelations for Franklin (shown here in a previous episode) and Leon. Their stories continue this week, along with a fierce sub-plot: Louanne sent a crooked cop to kill a rival. Now opposite instincts are juggled: There might be peace and a crime-free life … or maybe retribution, with gang warfare in Los Angeles. It’s a strong hour, leading to a huge – and crowded — season-finale next week. Read more…

1) “Abbott Elementary” season-finale, 9 p.m., ABC. This clever little show has been a bright spot for ABC, getting decent ratings, especially in the 18-49 age group. Now it wraps its first season, a week before “Black-ish” (9:30) ends its eighth and final year.  Tonight, the Abbott school has its annual trip to the zoo (shown here), with lives in transition. Janine faces a big choice … Tariq has been offered a job in New York … and Barbara ponders her future, after learning that her favorite reptile (a tuatara) has been retired because of age. Read more…

1) CMT Music Awards, 8 p.m., CBS. Country music fills the night, including the Judds’ (shown here) first TV performance in 20 years. Other duos include Maren Morris with Ryan Hurd, Cole Swindell with Lainey Wilson, Mickey Guyton with Black Pumas, Jason Aldean with Bryan Adams, Thomas Rhett with Riley Green and Jimmie Allen with Monica and Little Big Town. Also performing: Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Kelsea Ballerini (who hosts with Anthony Mackie), Kane Brown, Miranda Lambert, Walker Hayes, Carly Pearce, Old Dominion Read more…

1) “Killing Eve” series finale, 8-10 p.m., BBC America. This has always been a great (but odd) series. It shouldn’t surprise that the finale (which reruns Monday on AMC) is sometimes weird and generally superb. As it starts, Villanelle is in the Scottish woods with another hitwoman … Konstanin is grooming a young assassin … Carolyn is pensive about her old days in The Twelve … and Eve (shown here with Villanelle in a previous episode) is convinced The Twelve must die. There are odd detours, a big (but quick) finish and then a final jolt. Read more…

1) “The Ten Commandments” (1956), 7-11:44 p.m., ABC. Back in 1956, this was considered a movie marvel – an epic that traced the life of Moses (Charlton Heston, shown here), even managing to part the Red Sea. It won an Oscar for special effects and was nominated for six more, including best picture. By modern standards, it’s a bit stiff; still, it’s become an Eastertime tradition, this year airing on the eve of Palm Sunday. Read more…

1) “Now Hear This” season-opener, 9 p.m., PBS. In the first two seasons, Scott Yoo (shown here) traveled Europe, visiting places where classical masterpieces began. But this year he stays in the U.S. … and finds ample greatness. This hour traces Amy Beach, who (in 1896, at 29) was the first American woman to have a symphony published and performed. Yoo (a violinist) and his wife Alice Dade (a flutist) sample gorgeous music from Beach and other women. Read more…

1) “Welcome to Flatch,” 9:30 p.m., Fox. In its slow, droll way, “Flatch” can be both funny and poignant. Pretending to be a documentary about small-town life, it often views two cousins (shown here in a previous episode), drifting through their post-school life. Tonight, Kelly gets a rare chance to be with her dad; Shrub has two milestones – asking a girl for a date and (unrelated) seeing a naked female. There are also key moments for the pastor and his ex-wife, who edits the newspaper. Read more…

1)“Snowfall,” 10 p.m., FX, rerunning to 11:05 p.m. and 12:15 and 1:20 a.m. At a perilous point in its story, “Snowfall” pauses for an odd interlude. Last week, Jerome finally proposed to Louise … who secretly ordered a hit that could set off gang warfare. Trouble looms … but first, there’s an odd twist at the wedding. Some viewers will love it, some won’t, but it has great performances – especially by Damson Idris (shown here in a previous episode), whose character (Franklin) is usually stoic. Read more…

1) “Benjamin Franklin” conclusion, 8 p.m., PBS, rerunning at 10. The Declaration of Independence rippled with youthful zeal. Thomas Jefferson, 33, wrote the first draft; tweaking was done by John Adams, 40 … and Franklin, 70 (shown here in artist’s rendering). Franklin’s convivial manner then was key in getting French help for the revolution and in soothing anger during the Constitutional Convention. Ken Burns’ superb film shows a man who lived to 84 and belatedly opposed slavery. Read more…
