Doctor in the house

A physician is asked "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" in the season finale of the resilient game show hosted by Jeff Foxworthy. The contestant may not impress when it comes to regurgitating facts about U.S. history, but I'm guessing that he could school the kiddies a bit on "playing doctor." 7 p.m. KMSP, Ch. 9

Total access

"A Season With Notre Dame Football" doesn't include a blessing from the pope, but the series will offer cameras entrenched across campus with access to the team, coaching staff, locker room and classroom. 9 p.m. Showtime

Into the fire

In "9/11: The Lost Hero," Jason Thomas, whose bravery was honored in Oliver Stone's "World Trade Center," talks about how he helped find two Port Authority police officers in the rubble, despite rescue crews warning him to stay back. 9 p.m. Destination America
