The cheesy re-enactments emphasize the flappers, speakeasies, bootleggers and G-men, but the new two-part “Drinks, Crime and Prohibition” (Smithsonian, 8 p.m.) also brings out some interesting aspects about the 13 year ban of intoxicating liquors in the 1920s — mainly that it was a big anti-immigration effort. I wrote more about the series in this piece for SmithsonianMagazine.com.
Can’t imagine that marriage ceremonies at theme parks come cheap, but here’s “Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings” (Freeform, 8 p.m.), where Cinderella’s Castle can be a backdrop and, I suppose, Goofy can officiate.

With the NBA Finals wrapped up before tonight’s planned Game 5, the network returns to “The Bachelorette” (ABC, 8 p.m.), where Becca takes six dudes to a spa.
Molly Shannon shakes the family tree on “Who Do You Think You Are?” (TLC, 10 p.m.), one of at least two series tonight with big questions in their titles. The other, of course, is “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” (CW, 9 p.m.), where Andrea Navedo and Gary Anthony Williams are guests.
The pop star gives one of his final interviews on “David Cassidy: The Last Session” (A&E, 9 p.m.).

“Million Dollar Listing New York” (Bravo, 10 p.m.) returns for its seventh season.
Chocolates take over “Chopped” (Food, 10 p.m.).
“Supergirl” (CW, 8 p.m.) tries to stop Serena.
Turner Classic Movies’ month-long Monday night salute to Leslie Howard continues with “Pygmalion” (8 p.m.), “Of Human Bondage” (9:45 p.m.), “Romeo and Juliet” (11:15 p.m.), “The Scarlet Pimpernel” (1:30 a.m.) and “A Free Soul” (3:15 a.m.).
