Not sure how the leading men of CBS procedurals — Joe Montagna of “Criminal Minds,” Gary Sinise of “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders” and Laurence Fishburne of “CSI” — became the permanent spokesmen of the National Memorial Day Concert (PBS, 8 p.m., check local listings). Tough guys, I guess (though Fishburne’s current show is the comedy “Blackish”). You can’t have Chris Hardwick do everything.
At any rate, they host a weaker than usual roster of singers and speakers for the 28th annual event on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol, with Scotty McCreery, Renee Fleming, Vanessa Williams, Five for Fighting, Ronan Tynan, Russell Watson Christopher Jackson and the National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jack Everly.

What will be 10 hours or more this fall is reduced in succinct fashion in “PBS Previews: The Vietnam War” (PBS, 9:30 p.m., check local listings) from Ken Burns and Lynn Novick.

Drinking plays a role in tonight’s “Invite Only Cabo” (Bravo, 9 p.m.).
I’m thinking there should be an extra tax on the customers of “Ultimate Pools” (Travel, 9 and 9:30 p.m.).
