A sprawling and deeply-researched new three-part report on “Frontline” (PBS, 10 p.m., check local listings) concentrates on the fossil fuel industry and their efforts to bury proof of its role in delaying and preventing action on climate change in the past 40 years. A natural for Earth Day, it also comes at a time when big companies are gouging customers at the pumps and the war in Ukraine shows how dependent the world still is dependent on oil. Newly recovered reports from the 1970s show that Exxon, for one, knew what it was doing in stonewalling what it knew. “The Power of Big Oil” continues on two subsequent Tuesdays.
Another new documentary “White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch” (Netflix, streaming) looks at the rise of the macho mall fashion store.
A two-part documentary series “Yorkshire Ripper: The Secret Murders” (Sundance Now, streaming) looks at the murders connected to the English serial killer Peter Sutcliffe, known as the Yorkshire Ripper.
Australian golfer Greg Norman talks about how he tended to come in second in major tournaments in a new documentary for “30 for 30” (ESPN, 8:30 p.m.) called “Shark.”
After eight seasons and 175 episodes, “Black-ish” (ABC, 9 p.m.), a series that’s been both funny and consequential comes to an end. It’s as it should be; family sitcoms should wrap up after the kids grow up and leave the nest. After spawning two spin-offs, and creating stars like Yara Shahidi, while bolstering vets like Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross and Laurence Fishburne, it ends tonight with preparations for Pops and Ruby to move away. “Black-ish: A Celebration — an ABC News Special” (ABC, 9:30 p.m.) follows, and the cast will be guests on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” (ABC, 11:35 p.m.).
