8 p.m. on 2, 9, “Extreme Weight Loss’’ — Can a father and daughter mend their relationship by dropping pounds together? “Jeff & Juliana’’ — the series’ season finale — answers that as the dad tries to make up for time he lost with his now-teenage offspring, who faces bullying from classmates over her weight. Chris and Heidi Powell get plenty of assistance in trying to help them … from Terrell Davis and several fellow Denver Broncos veterans, as well as from Chef Rocco DiSpirito.
8 p.m. on 5, 8, “Food Fighters’’ — The gastronomic competition’s season finale gives a La Jolla, Calif., fashion-industry retiree and father of four a culinary test in “Jim Stark.’’ He puts his recipes up against those of professional chefs — including Elizabeth Falkner — in a bid to be declared the best of the cooks who are present, thus earning him a $100,000 prize. Adam Richman is the host.
8 p.m. on CW, “Arrow’’ — Oliver (Stephen Amell) is resigned to surrendering to Slade (Manu Bennett) to stop further bloodshed and save everyone and everything he loves. Diggle and Felicity (David Ramsey, Emily Bett Rickards) take drastic steps to keep Oliver away from Slade, knowing that surrendering will be fatal. Thea (Willa Holland) considers moving away. Laurel (Katie Cassidy) resumes her efforts to bring down Sebastian Blood (Kevin Alejandro) in “City of Blood.’’
8 p.m. on 7, “Robin Williams Remembered — A Pioneers of Television Special’’ — The late comedy star gets a tribute, including an interview he gave for the “Pioneers of Television’’ franchise that celebrates the medium’s history. Since home-screen programming is the series’ thrust, expect clips of Williams in the show that made him immediately and enormously popular — “Mork & Mindy’’ — along with excerpts from his other TV appearances. Also in the “Pioneers’’ tradition, other entertainers offer comments on Williams’ work.
8 p.m. on DIS, Movie: “WALL-E’’ — A waste-pickup robot of the future is the title star of this animated, typically clever Disney-Pixar collaboration. WALL-E leads a solitary existence on a pollution-wracked Earth until he crosses paths with Eve, another machine that takes him back into outer space.
