For an episode to end its delightful eight season run, it was last week’s “Portlandia” (IFC, 9:30 p.m.) that included a glimpse of most of the many characters created by Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein that we’ll miss. Tonight’s finale at 10, though, is one of those full episode things involving the running of the Portland Marathon in a pattern that the mayor insists should be a rose. He risks it all in negotiating the route, meanwhile Candace takes in a runner and annoys her as much as she did Toni. Guest stars include Cherry Jones, Tessa Thompson and Dolly Wells. Miss some of the season? It’s rerun in a marathon that begins at 5:30 p.m.
It took forever for Shondaland to find a name for its second spinoff of “Grey’s Anatomy” (ABC, 8 p.m.) that involves a fire department and rescue team that serves the hospital. They really didn’t want to call it “Seattle Fire” lest it be confused with “Chicago Fire” (NBC, 9 p.m.) — which is on at the same time! So instead, it’s called “Station 19” (ABC, 9 p.m.). Its two hour premiere includes some folks from “Grey’s” but mostly a cast that includes Jaina Lee Ortiz, Jason George and Grey Damon and looks to be a passable (and easy to pass over) procedural.
The regular “RuPaul’s Drag Race” (VH1, 8 p.m.) is back for its 10th season and Christina Aguilera stops by.
On “Atlanta” (FX, 10 p.m.), the town of Marietta is a factor.
Jeff quits “Superstore” (NBC, 8 p.m.) for a job at Target.
Durbin reveals Mary’s emergency contact on “A.P. Bio” (NBC, 8:30 p.m.).
On “Music City” (CMT, 10 p.m.), Rachel’s ex gets in touch.
Agent Borden continues her plan to take down Hollow Sky on “Beyond” (Freeform, 8 p.m.).
“Braxton Family Values” (WeTV, 9 p.m.) is back for its sixth season.
It’s Michael Bolton vs. Pete Davidson on “Lip Sync Battle” (Paramount, 10 p.m.).
Among the films with great endings on Turner Classic Movies tonight are those with famous last words. Can you remember what they were from “Sunset Boulevard” (8 p.m.), “Gone with the Wind” (10 p.m.), “Casablanca” (2 a.m.) and “Citizen Kane” (4 a.m.)?
The madness returns with the round of 16 in the men’s college basketball tournament with Loyola Chicago vs. Nevada (CBS, 7 p.m.), Texas A&M vs. Michigan (TBS, 7:25 p.m.), Kansas State vs. Kentucky (CBS, 9:30 p.m.) and Florida State vs. Gonzaga (TBS, 9:55 p.m.).
In the Division II semifinals, it’s West Texas A&M vs. Ferris State (CBS Sports, 7 p.m.) and Northern State vs. Queens (CBS Sports, 9:30 p.m.).
In pro basketball, it’s Philadelphia at Orlando (NBA, 7 p.m.).
Hockey has Washington at Detroit (NBC Sports, 7:30 p.m.) and Vegas at San Jose (NBC Sports, 10 .m.).
Spring training baseball includes Yankees at Minnesota (ESPN2, 1 p.m.) and Kansas City vs. Milwaukee (MLB, 4 p.m.).
