Daily Best Bets

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…

1) “Saturday Night Live,” 11:29 p.m., NBC. We never suspected Daniel Craig could be a funny guy. In his James Bond role (shown here) and others – especially the dark “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” – he seems tough and no-nonsense. But he did host “SNL” in 2012; he also had fun playing a Southern-fried detective in the terrific “Knives Out.” Now Craig – whose next Bond film opens April 10 – hosts. The music guest is The Weeknd, who has done it twice before, plus a couple of times backing others. Read more…

1) “Blue Bloods.,” 10 p.m., CBS. Two key figures in CBS history link tonight. Ed Asner (shown here) arrived a half-century ago in “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”; Tom Selleck came 10 years later in “Magnum, P.I.” Combined, those shows spent five years in the Nielsen top-10, 11 years in the top-20. Selleck won an Emmy; Asner won seven, five of them in “MTM” and its “Lou Grant” spin-off. Now Asner, 90, plays the victim of a home invasion; Selleck, 75, plays his friend, the police commissioner. Read more…

1) “Better Things” season-opener, 10-11:14 p.m., FX. With subtlety and skill, this has the day-to-day lives of Sam (Pamela Adlon, shown here at right), her three daughters and her mother. Now the girls are back from visiting their dad, with fresh requests. One wants a pet; another wants a quinceanera … which you don’t expect in a Jewish family. Sam persists, while working through her own mid-life crisis and her mom’s late-life crises. As always, the result is an appealing mixture of humor, warmth and dismay. Read more…

1) “The Twenties” debut, 10 and 10:30 p.m, BET. When Lena Waithe hit her 30s, everything clicked. She got a role in “Master of None,” winning an Emmy for an episode she wrote; she wrote and produced Showtime’s “The Chi” and the movie “Queen & Slim.” Now, at 35, Waithe goes back to her early struggles, when she was an assistant to the “Girlfriends” producer. “Twenties” focuses on three friends (shown here), struggling in Hollywood. It’s sometimes a drama, occasionally a comedy, always loosely likable. Read more…

1) “Empire” return, 9 p.m., Fox. For six seasons, “Empire” has had an odd mix – great music and messy, over-the top soap opera. For this final season, it aired 10 episodes, then took an 11-week break; now it’s back for its last 10. Fox says only that there’s a “shocking revelation” tonight; there usually is. It implies that a death shakes the Lyon family; also, Andre (Trai Byers, shown here, center) makes an important decision. Read more…
