1) Convention (shown here in a previous year), 8 p.m. ET, PBS and news networks; 10, ABC, CBS and NBC. Democrats plan to pack presidents into the final (10 p.m.) hour. It will be Biden today; Obama, Tuesday; Clinton, Wednesday. Candidates will be Wednesday (Walz) and Thursday (Harris).
2) “The Bachelorette,” 8-10 p.m., ABC. Down to her final four, Jenn Tran visits their home towns. She’s 26 and becoming a physician’s assistant. The guys are: Marcus Shoberg, 32, former Army Ranger; Jeremy Simon, 29, real-estate investor; Jonathan Jackson, 27, creative director; Devin Strater, 28, freight-company owner.
3) More shows, 8-10 p.m. New episodes are on NBC (“American Ninja Warrior”), CW (“All American: Homecoming” and “61st Street) and Fox (“Name That Tune” and the clever “1% Club.” Also, CBS reruns “NCIS” and the second “NCIS: Sydney” episode.
4) Movies. People determined to skip the convention can go with long movies. FX’s “Bullet Train” (2022) and Freeform’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home” (2021) are 8-11 p.m.; the Paramount Network’s “Forrest Gump” (1994) is 8-11:30;
5) Streaming surge. Beginning today, Netflix viewers have a trove of shows from the AMC cable channel. Some are high-profile — one season of “Interview Wtith the Vampire” and “Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon,” eight of “Fear the Walking Dead.” Others are not (“Monsieur Spade,” “Dark Winds”), but most are beautifully crafted.
