Grumpy Cat may have a book and movie deal, but another set of YouTube stars, the old ladies who discussed Kim Kardashian’s sex tape, got their own series on Oprah’s channel. They’re the “Golden Sisters” (OWN, 10 and 10:30 p.m.) and come on after “Life with La Toya” (OWN, 9:30 p.m.).
“Fish Tank Kings” (Nat Geo Wild, 9 p.m.) returns for a second season of making specialized aquariums, starting with the adaptation of a Volkswagen minibus into a 4,000 pound tank with saltwater and fish.

Sport takes over prime time broadcast TV with Bruins at Penguins (NBC, 8 p.m.) in game 1 of their Stanley Cup playoff series, and one of four possible baseball games, possibly Washington at Atlanta (Fox, 7:15 p.m.).
How about a night of movies about libel suits? Turner Classic Movies has “Libeled Lady” (8 p.m.), “Libel” (9:45 p.m.), “The Life of Emile Zola” (11:30 p.m.) and “Sued for Libel” (1:30 a.m.).
