2) “Claim to Fame” finale, 9-11 p.m., ABC. After losing a week to the Democratic convention, the show has its final episodes. Already revealed: Molly Ringwald’s cousin and the nieces or nephews of Michael Jackson, Marc Anthony, John Stamos, John Cryer, Robin Roberts and Jamie Lee Curtis. Four people remain.

3) “The Real CSI Miami,” 10 p.m., CBS. It’s another post-convention shift. Last week’s episode was bumped; it airs now (after a two-hour “Big Brother”), moving the season-finale to next week. Tonight, the execution-style murder of two women is caught by a security camera .

4) “After Baywatch,” Hulu. With red swimwear and bronzed bodies, the “Baywatch” stars might have seemed interchangeable. But they varied widely in swimming skills, acting careers and more. This visits the stars of a sun-soaked show that ended 25 years ago.

5) ALSO: “MasterChef” has two hour (8 p.m., Fox), with “tag-team” cooking and coffee-based food. But yes, there are scripted shows: Try a good “Sullivan’s Crossing” rerun (8 p.m., CW) or Disney cartoons – “Aladdin,” 8 p.m., Disney Channel, and both “Ralph” films, at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. on Freeform.
