Thanks for the memory

In the new game show "Superhuman," participants test their math skills and perform memory tricks from a throne purchased at Capt. Kirk's garage sale, all to the delight of a studio audience whose members get to their feet so often they are either closely related to the contestants or they really, really have to go to the bathroom. "This is ridiculous, right?" says judge Mike Tyson, whose keen observation should have earned him the $100,000 prize. 7 p.m., KMSP, Ch. 9

No laughing matter

While the world continues to grieve the November shootings that killed 130 people in Paris, let us not forget France's other great tragedy of 2015. "Paris Terror Attack: Charlie Hebdo" chronicles the hour-by-hour proceedings last January that led to 11 deaths in the offices of a satirical magazine. 7 p.m., Smithsonian Channel

The weighting game

Those who need inspiration in shedding those extra holiday pounds will be particular interested in the season 17 premiere of "The Biggest Loser" with benevolent taskmaster Bob Harper taking over as host. Original "Survivor" winner Richard Hatch is among the contestants, which means neither the competition — or the kitchen pantry — is safe. 8 p.m., KARE, Ch. 11
