All grown up

After five years, "Melissa & Joey" part ways in a series finale that answers the burning question: Which one is Melissa and which one is Joey? Maybe Joey Lawrence's former "Blossom" co-star Mayim Bialik will show some compassion and book him a part as Nerd No. 34 on "The Big Bang Theory." 7 p.m. ABC Family

Strike a pose

No current Minnesotans appear to be among the contestants in cycle 22 of "America's Next Top Model: Guys and Girls," which is just as well since most of the winners never secure a gig any more prominent than wearing a sandwich board in front of a new Chipotle. 7 p.m. WUCW, Ch. 23

Bad education

The country's most unrealistic urban high school is the setting for "Mr. Robinson," a new sitcom that gets a failing grade in both aptitude and attitude. Craig Robinson ("The Office," "Hot Tub Time Machine") stars as a music teacher without any instruments and a club musician without any talent. Robinson's super-cool approach to comedy worked for him in "The Office" and "Hot Tub Time Machine," but there's a difference between being laid back and being just plain sleepy. 8 p.m. KARE, Ch. 11

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
