2) Basketball tourneys, Sunday, CBS. First come two conference-tournament championship games – the Atlantic 10 at 1 p.m. ET and the Big Ten at 3:30 p.m. Then CBS jumps straight to the 6 p.m. show, announcing the NCAA tourney brackets. Also Sunday, title games are on ESPN2 (Ivy League, noon) and ESPN (SEC, 1 p.m. and American, 3:15.

3) “The Bachelor,” 8-10 p.m. today, ABC. We’re two weeks from the finale. Next week, Grant Ellis invites three women — Zoe McGrady, a model and tech engineer; Litia Garr, a venture capitalist; and Juliana Pasquarosa, in client services – for separate, overnight dates. First, the “Women Tell All” episode has 15 others reflect on what’s happened.

4) “Night Court,” 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, NBC. Maybe every court show needs a musical number. Now a producer wants to put Dan’s life story on Broadway. Eventually – it takes too long – there’s a rousing number, with Dan’s colleagues showing real vocal talent.. That follows a fairly good “St. Denis Medical,” with apatient doing his diagnoses via internet.

5) “FBI,” 8 p.m. Tuesday, CBS. With the presidential speech last Tuesday, CBS rested all three FBI shows. Now they’re back, starting with this story of gunned-down jurors. Also back from a week off are 9 p.m. shows – ABC’s “The Rookie,” NBC’s “Deal or No Deal Island” and a terrific “Doc,” setting up big moments in next week’s season-finale.

6) “Good Cop/Bad Cop,” 9 p.m. Wednesday, CW. This amiable hour shows that not every good mystery needs a murder. On her day off from the police station, Lily helps make a low-budget film about a local myth. Soon, there are eerie twists … and a TV newsman keeps popping up. It’s a delight and is preceded by “Wild Cards,” with Max faking a séance.

7) “Animal Control” season-finale, 9 p.m. Thursday, Fox. After botching things, Frank needed a new donor to finance a kennel for dogs awaiting adoption. Last week, he successfully begged Roman Park (Ken Jeong), a self-proclaimed dog expert. Now the kennel is set for its grand opening … but no dogs are available. The team scrambles to find some.

8) “Going Dutch” season-finale, 9:31 p.m. Thursday, Fox. Last week, Col. Quinn (Denis Leary) dined with all three ex-wives … and showed he has no sense for family and others. Now he proves it again by forgetting the birthday of Capt. Quinn, his daughter. To make up for it, he plans a grand gesture … which might sabotage his current romance.

9) “Wheel of Time” season-opener, Thursday, Amazon Prime; and “The Electric State,” Friday, Netflix. For fantasy fans, it’s a big streaming week. “Wheel” has three episodes, with Rand fighting dual forces, then starting a journey with Moiraine and others. Then “Electric State” has Millie Bobby Brown as an action hero, entering the land of exiled robots.
