After the hubbub surrounding one Caitlyn on Sunday, the big choice comes from the Kaitlyn on “The Bachelorette” (ABC, 8 p.m.). It’s a disheartening choice, between a still-creepy-seeming guy who wormed his way onto the season from a previous season, Nick, and an insecure muscle-head who can’t stand the other guy, Shawn. Both dudes have to meet her family before she makes her final choice, if any. Then, to stretch the whole embarrassing thing into three hours, there is “The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose” (ABC, 10 p.m.), in which the winners are free to break up and they try to sell us on the upcoming “Bachelor in Paradise.”
We may be much more cynical than ever about the season’s end because of the generally entertaining behind the scenes fictional series “UnReal” (Lifetime, 10 p.m.).
Maite Alberdi thought it was cute that her grandmother kept in touch with her high school girl friends, 60 years after their graduation. Then she started to listen to their sorrows, joys, illnesses and death that thinned their numbers over the years, which she filmed for an unusually affecting film, “Tea Time,” making its debut on “POV” (PBS, 10 p.m.). Though the film is shot in Chile (and presented with subtitles), the message is universal.
In another documentary on tonight, family and friends recall the University of Wyoming who died of a hate crime in 1998 in “Matt Shepard is a Friend of Mind” (Logo, 9:15 p.m.).
On a new “Running Wild with Bear Grylls” (NBC, 10 p.m.), the host agrees to take Kate Winslet on a paraglider through the mountains in Wales to camp and swim. Of course he does.
Speaking of bears, Bobby Moynihan, Demetri Martin and Eric Edelstein provide the voices on the new animated “We Bare Bears” (Cartoon Network, 6:30 p.m.), about a grizzly, a panda and a polar bear living together in San Francisco.
The Top 18 are all dancing on “So You Think You Can Dance” (Fox, 8 p.m.). It’s down to the Top 30 at the Houston Finals of “American Ninja Warrior” (NBC, 8 p.m.).
Hello Kitty is the theme on “Cake Wars” (Food Network, 8 p.m.). But not on “Forged in Fire” (History, 10 p.m.), where they’re making rapiers.
It’s Thanksgiving on “Becoming Us” (ABC Family, 10 p.m.).
The opening of the Cuban Embassy last week may wreck the whole old car industry on “Cuban Chrome” (Discovery, 10 p.m.).
Lucky Luciano has his own Cuban connection on “The Making of the Mob” (AMC, 10 p.m.).
Jill goes to a charity event on “Odd Mom Out” (Bravo, 10 p.m.).
Alligator is on the menu in Louisiana on a stop of the “Southern Fried Road Trip” (Food Network, 10 p.m.).
With rapping apparently no longer an option T.I. opens a restaurant on “T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle” (VH1, 9:30 p.m.).
More magicians try to get something over on the ubiquitous illusionists on “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” (Fox, 8 p.m.).
Baseball tonight has Yankees at Rangers (ESPN, 8 p.m.). And even the Tour de France takes a break.
The month-long Monday night Shirley Temple salute on Turner Classic Movies continues with “The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer” (8 p.m.), “Adventure in Baltimore” (9:45 p.m.), “The Story of Seabiscuit” (11:30 p.m.) and “A Kiss for Corliss” (1:15 a.m.).
