From the beginning, Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan’s “Modern Family” (ABC, 9 p.m.) stood apart from any other TV sitcom, upending the format and injecting life into the field with sharp writing, a splendid cast and the storytelling dynamic of three different families. Each cast member had the comic chops to head a show solo, and here they all were together: Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen, Ed O’Neill, Sofia Vergara, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet among them. It’s the only show the network was so proud of from the start, they played the entirety of the pilot at their upfront presentation.
Staying 11 seasons may have been a tad too long — kids in the cast definitely outgrow their parts. But it’s still sad to see it go, in an hour long episode about moving out and apart. Its achievements are told in an hour long behind-the-scenes special “A Modern Farewell” (ABC, 8 p.m.).
Jimmy Kimmel channels his inner Regis Philbin to host a new celebrity version of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” (ABC, 10 p.m.), which begins with Will Forte and Eric Stonestreet — in his third straight hour on ABC tonight following the “Modern Family” stuff (then the whole cast will be on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” (ABC, 12:05 a.m.) will be a fourth hour).
Famous people are also tapped to take part in “Celebrity Ghost Stories” (A&E, 10 p.m.), in which the usual unconvincing paranormal hype are extended by the likes of Ice-T and his wife Coco.
Despite the fact that ghosts are not real (or the least of the things to be worried about these days), there is also a new season of “Ghost Hunters” (A&E, 8 p.m.), though the last one didn’t seem to be over.
Ion Gruffudd returns for a second season of “Liar” (Sundance, 11 p.m.), a show I can’t remember at all. Joanne Froggatt also stars.
The latest discoveries in the realms of fat are told on a new “Nova” (PBS, 9 p.m., check local listings).
A show that’s been following CDC guidelines all along? “The Masked Singer” (Fox, 8 p.m.), where Sharon Osbourne joins the panelists desk and where last week, the White Tiger was revealed to be not Joe Exotic but Rob Gronkowski.
“Full Frontal with Samantha Bee” (TBS, 10:30 p.m.) has adjusted to no-audience times better than most of late night, by just shooting outside.
In time for Easter, “Nature” (PBS, 8 p.m., check local listings) looks at the many kinds of rabbits there are — more than 100.
“LEGO Masters” (Fox, 9 p.m.) build some “Star Wars” stuff.

“Nancy Drew” (CW, 9 p.m.) tries to vanquish the Agleaca.
Nia struggles with stereotyped roles on “Twenties” (BET, 10 p.m.).
“SEAL Team” (CBS, 9 p.m.) begins its deployment in Afghanistan.
