1) “Great Migrations” finale, 9 p.m., PBS. The first two hours saw millions of Blacks moving north (shown here) for jobs and freedom. Now that flips: Amid disputes about police, real estate bias and more, there were 150 urban uprisings in 1967. As the South mellowed; Ebony Magazine proclaimed: “You Can Go Home Again.” A strong hour shows a reverse migration.
2) “Chautauqua at 150: Wynton Marsalis’ ‘All Rise,’” 10 p.m. PBS. This is ostensibly about a new production of Marsalis’ symphony last summer, as the Chautauqua Institution turned 150. Actually, it has only a few minutes of the piece, mostly at the end, alongside lots of talk. The music is magnificent; the talk ranges from interesting to terribly repetitious.
3) “St. Denis Medical,” 8 p.m., NBC. There’s a fresh push to “upsell” – getting people to have more-expensive procedures. Meanwhile, two surgeons are obsessing on plumbing (the building, not people plumbing). It’s only mildly funny by St. Denis standards, but has some heartwarming moments.
4) “Doc,” 9 p.m., Fox. An emotional episode sees parents and daughters — Amy’s tenuous relationship (past and present) with Katie and a dad’s worries about his college coed. It’s a good hour, with a key moment at the end.
5) “High Potential” season-finale, 9 p.m., ABC. Kidnappings point to a maze of clues from puzzles and board games. That leads into a “The Rookie” episode that’s set on Valentine’s Day. Next week, “Rookie” moves to 9 p.m.; “High Potential” slides to 10 for reruns and will be back next season.
