It’s not really a fashion show by any means. Network standards prevent from showing how little covering there is on most of their undergarments. So let’s call “The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show” (CBS, 10 p.m.) a parade of barely-clothed supermodels in a glitzy display in London as lights flash and occasional performers show up including Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran and Hozier. And then they sell bras during the commercial break. Since it’s Christmastime.
The series finale of “Sons of Anarchy” (FX, 10 p.m.) is worth noting, after seven seasons (and up to four too many). We got the whole father-son struggle in leather coats thing a long time ago in a series that mostly meant to disturb its audience. The one that ended the series for me is when they burned a club member’s daughter alive and let the camera linger on it to start the fifth season. Those who stuck with it are likely to stay for tonight’s typically bloated two hour finale.
Three advance from the five who sang Monday on “The Voice” (NBC, 8 p.m.). But judges get to pick a wild card from the past nine who were eliminated to compete with them in next week’s finals.
The four remaining contestants on “MasterChef Junior” (Fox, 8 p.m.) cut filets before a little chef is cut.
“Pretty Little Liars” (ABC Family, 8 p.m.) has its Christmas episode. Mindy is awaiting a Christmas engagement ring on “The Mindy Project” (Fox, 9:30 p.m.). And the friends on “New Girl” (Fox, 9 p.m.) would be going home for Christmas but all get stuck at the airport.
The very old specials return, “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town” (ABC, 8 p.m.), from 1970, opposite “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” (CBS, 8 p.m.), marking its 50th anniversary on TV.
NBC goes all in for the new Angelina Jolie-directed film with a one hour special, “Angelina Jolie: Unbroken” (NBC< 10 p.m.) with Tom Brokaw.
“The Flash” (The CW, 8 p.m.) meets his perfect enemy: Reverse Flash.
In the new reality show “Bye Felicia!” (VH1, 9 p.m.), two African-American life coaches try to help white women in Los Angeles.
Errol Flynn’s daughter Rory Flynn helps host a night of her dad’s swashbuckling movies on Turner Classic Movies with “Objective, Burma!” (8 p.m.), “The Adventures of Robin Hood” (10:30 p.m.), “Gentleman Jim” (12:30 a.m.), “Rocky Mountain” (2:30 a.m.) and “Never Say Goodbye” (4 a.m.).
Before she was Annie, Quvenzhane Wallis won an Oscar nomination for her role in “Beasts of the Southern Wild” (Sundance, 10 p.m.).
Men’s college hoops includes Villanova vs. Illinois (ESPN, 7 p.m.) in the Jimmy V Classic, Seton Hall at Wichita State (ESPN2, 7 p.m.), Missouri-Kansas City at Iowa State (ESPNU, 7 p.m.), IUPUI at Xavier (Fox Sports 1, 7 p.m.), Texas A&M at Baylor (ESPN2, 9 p.m.), Eastern Michigan at Michigan (ESPNU, 9 p.m.) and Alcorn State at Iowa (ESPNews, 9 p.m.).
Pro basketball has Dallas at Memphis (NBA, 8 p.m.); in hockey, Los Angeles at Buffalo (NBC Sports, 7:30 p.m.).
