The bland new comedy “The Neighborhood” (CBS, 8 p.m.) reverses the old “There goes the neighborhood” trope as Max Greenfield plays an overly well meaning white newcomer to a black neighborhood, where Cedric the Entertainer is skeptical. And the whole neighborhood looks like a TV soundstage.
It comes alongside the equally un-entertaining “Happy Together” (CBS, 8:30 p.m.), in which a music star comes to live with an accountant and his wife. Damon Wayans would seem the cooler one than new tenant Felix Mallard. But what comedy there is lives in the brief appearances of Chris Parnell and Stephnie Weir.
“Dark Money” isn’t based on the book by Jane Mayer, but it’s about the same subject: The shadowy world of anonymous political contributions. In this case, it’s in Montana, where a reporter risks his job by doggedly looking into contributions. Kimberly Reed’s film on “POV” (PBS, 10 p.m., check local listings) comes at a time when a raft of local attack ads are brought to you by groups nobody’s ever heard of.
Another documentary tonight, “Queen of the World” (HBO, 8 p.m.) looks at the long reign of Elizabeth II, and especially her work with growing the Commonwealth, providing inside glimpses at Buckingham Palace, including the new Duchess of Sussex looking at her wedding gown for the first time since the event.
It’s band night on “Lodge 49” (AMC, 10:18 p.m.).
Costs are a concern at the hospital on “The Resident” (Fox, 8 p.m.).

On “The Real Housewives of Orange County” (Bravo, 9 p.m.), Shannon goes to Philadelphia to support her daughter’s gig on QVC.
“Bull” (CBS, 10 p.m.) did pretty badly in its return last week. This week he’s on jury duty.
But “Manifest” (NBC, 10 p.m.) did quite well last week. This week, passengers are under government scrutiny about what happened.
“The Good Doctor” (ABC, 10 p.m.) treats a hospital janitor.
A second season starts for “Remy & Papoose: Meet the Mackies” (VH1, 9 p.m.), with the couple finally pregnant.
Nikki Glaser has already been eliminated from “Dancing with the Stars” (ABC, 8 p.m.), though she had a better score than Grocery Store Joe. Amid the performances, there’s a performance tonight from “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.”
Lance Bass is on the season finale of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” (CW, 9 p.m.).
The U.S. remake of the charming British comedy “Gavin & Stacey,” which was renamed “Us & Them” (Crackle, streaming) finally sees the light of day. Made and shelved by Fox five years ago, it stars Jason Ritter and Alexis Bledel and features Michael Ian Scott, Kerry Kinney-Silver and Jane Kaczmarek.
There’s paranormal activity reported at the Titanic Museum in Branson, Mo, on “Ghost Adventures” (Travel, 9 p.m.).
It’s not soul music but financial advise on the special “Suze Orman at the Apollo: Women and Money” (OWN, 8 p.m.).
Now gear heads have their own game show with “Brake Room” (Discovery, 11 p.m.). It comes after the fourth season premiere of “Vegas Rat Rods” (Discovery, 10 p.m.).
The “Halloween Baking Championship” (Food, 9 p.m.) has its Silence of the Yams competition.
Anne V. Coates, the acclaimed British film editor, is honored on Turner Classic Movies following her death in May at 92. Among her works: “Lawrence of Arabia” (8 p.m.), “Murder on the Orient Express” (midnight), “Tunes of Glory” (2:30 a.m.) and “The Horse’s Mouth” (4:30 a.m.).
For the first time, there’s an added day to the regular season to settle some tie-breakers — a National League Central tiebreaker of Milwaukee at Cubs (ESPN, 1 p.m.) and Colorado at Dodgers (ESPN, 4 p.m.) in the National League West tiebreaker. Winners go to the divisional finals; losers to the wild card race.
Monday Night Football has Kansas City at Denver (ESPN, 8:15 p.m.).
