Daily Best Bets

1) “The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel” (shown here), 8-10:33 p.m., Lifetime. The glorious gospel sound of the Clarks is perfect for the Easter weekend … or for any other time. It’s a sound that has influenced everyone from Whitney Houston to “American Idol” contestants. So it’s logical that Queen Latifah, Mary J. Blige and Missy Elliott have produced this film, which reruns at 11:30 a.m. and 10:03 p.m. Sunday. Aunjanue Ellis plays Mattie Moss Clark, molding five daughters into mainstream success. Read more…

1) “Magnum P.I.,” 9 p.m., CBS. After waiting on the shelf for 10 weeks, this show is finally back. “Hawaii Five-0” has ended its 10-year run; now “Magnum” gets the timeslot … and the state of Hawaii. Tonight, Kumu (Amy Hill) is kidnapped by a man accused of killing his wife; Magnum and Higgins (shown here) try to rescue her. Read more…

1) “Will & Grace,” 9 p.m., NBC. Two generations of broad comedy have a cheery mash-up. “Will & Grace” – with a skilled cast and a great director (Jim Burrows) – meets “I Love Lucy.” With Will (Eric McCormack) as Ricky, the others do Lucille Ball’s classic scenes. Megan Mullally’s grape-stomping bit is so-so, but Sean Hayes’ candy-assembly-line one is terrific (with Lucie Arnaz, Ball’s daughter, as the supervisor) … and Debra Messing is a delight when tackling the Vitameatavegamin commercial. Shown here, from left: McCormack, Mullally, Messing, Hayes. Read more…

1) “Modern Family” series finale, 9 and 9:30 p.m., ABC, with an overview at 8. For 11 seasons and 22 Emmys (five for best comedy), this has offered consistently clever comedy, built around a lovingly mismatched family. “Modern Family” (shown here in a previous episode) started with Mitchell and Cam adopting a baby; now they have their new baby and new house. Also, Phil and Claire decide that one of the kids must move out. And Gloria is successful at work, but frets that her husband and son don’t really need her. Read more…

1) “Schitt’s Creek” series finale, 8 p.m., Pop, rerunning at 10. This pleasant little Canadian show (shown here) ends just as we’d hoped it would, with a low-key mixture of warmth and craziness. The crazed one is David, played by Dan Levy, who created the show with his dad (Eugene) and wrote and co-directed the finale. David has been obsessing about the perfect wedding to Patrick. Naturally, things go very wrong … and quite right. There are some adult moments (including F-words) and then a sweet farewell. Read more…

1) “Manifest” season-finale, 10:01 p.m , NBC. Michaela and Zeke rushed into their wedding, because he had a “death date,” signaled by a supernatural force. Then things went bad. Escapees kidnapped her young nephew – who, like his dad(Josh Dallas, shown here) and aunt, survived a plane flight that was suspended in time for five years. Tonight’s episode has some solid cops-and-crooks moments, spiced by other-worldly weirdness. But it’s hindered by soap-style writing, creating wildly overwrought reactions. Read more…

1) “Masterpiece: World on Fire” debut, 9 p.m., PBS. This seven-week epic (continuing next year) sweeps across Europe and across class lines, focusing on three likable young people as World War II looms. Harry is a translator, rich, romantic and terribly handsome. Lois is an English factory worker and singer, Kasia (shown here with Harry) is a Polish waitress; both women have a steely resolve that he (at first) lacks. Helen Hunt is so-so as a radio reporter, but Sean Bean is superb as Lois’ dad, a shell-shocked veteran. Read more…

1) “The Ten Commandments” (1956), 7-11:44 p.m., ABC. As Easter celebrations dwindle this year, we still have TV. “Ten Commandments” isn’t directly related – it’s Old Testament, after all – but it’s become a tradition for ABC, this time airing on the eve of Palm Sunday. In its time, this Charlton Heston (shown here) epic was steeply respected; it was nominated for seven Oscars (including best picture) and won for its special effects, including parting the Red Sea. By modern standards, it’s slow and stiff, but interesting Read more…

1) “Hawaii Five-0” series finale, 9 p.m., CBS. A 22-year TV tradition ends. The original “Five-0” ran 12 seasons and this reboot did 10 more. Now its finale includes flashbacks with three deceased people – Steve McGarrett’s father, the man who killed him (Victor Hesse) and the man who ordered it (Wo Fat). McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin, shown here) finally solves the case that his father left him. Also, Wo Fat’s widow kidnaps and wounds Danny, trying to get the coded message that was sent by McGarrett’s late mother. Read more…

1) “Broke” debut, 9:30 p.m., CBS. Even before the economic slowdown, TV planned shows about penniless relatives moving in. In NBC’s “Indebted,” it’s the parents; here, it’s an older sister and her husband. Oddly, both shows air at the same time. “Indebted” is loud and lame, but a sampling indicates “Broke” (shown here) could be quite good. Pauley Perrette (“NCIS”) plays a single mom and bar-owner whose sister (Natasha Leggero) arrives with her husband (Jaime Camil of “Jane the Virgin”) and his manservant. Read more…
