The half-hour special “JoJo’s Follow Your D.R.E.A.M.” (Nickelodeon, 8 p.m.) follows tour preparations for the surprisingly popular former star of “Dance Moms,” JoJo Siwa.
It’s not exactly live, but the thought is there, with a replay of the Jimmy Kimmel-produced “Live in Front of a Studio Audience: Norman Lear’s ‘All in the Family’ and ‘The Jeffersons’” (ABC, 8 p.m.) is a tribute to a sitcom golden era, with a contemporary cast that does better than you’d think. Kimmel plans at least two more ventures in this arena, but hasn’t said which shows he’d pay tribute to.
It sits among same-week replays of reality shows like “America’s Got Talent” (NBC, 8 p.m.), “So You Think You Can Dance” (Fox, 8 p.m.), and newsmagazines like “48 Hours” (CBS, 9 p.m.) and “Dateline” (NBC, 9 p.m.).

Another made-for-TV movie tonight is the next chapter in the “Flowers in the Attic” series “V.C. Andrews’ Gates of Paradise” (Lifetime, 8 p.m.), with Lizzie Boys, Jason Pristley, Keenan Tracey and Daphne Zuniga.

On “The Vet Life” (Animal Planet, 10 pm), a dog may have the flu.
A two hour “Undercover Billionaire” (Discovery, 10 p.m.) sounds excessive.
