The last supper

Carol Ann Susi, who provided the voice of Mrs. Wolowitz on "The Big Bang Theory" until she passed away late last year, gets one more tribute when the gang tries to figure out what to do with the last meal she prepared for her son. By the way, isn't it about time Bob Newhart popped up again? 7 p.m. WCCO, Ch. 4

Home on the range

In "Morgan Spurlock: Inside Man," the filmmaker takes a different job every week to learn something new. This time out, he becomes an Alaskan forest ranger, searching high and low for Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo. 8 p.m. CNN

That's a wrap

It's the Season 5 finale of "Portlandia," the perfectly quirky Fred Armisen-Carrie Brownstein vehicle that just may be the best sketch comedy series on TV right now. Hurry back! 9 p.m. IFC
