No bromance
"The Bachelorette" climbs down from make-out mountain to announce whether her heart belongs to Jordan Rodgers or Robby Hayes. Any chance a life with Jordan would include sideline passes to Green Bay Packers games seems minimal. His estranged brother, quarterback Aaron, has said that while he wishes his sibling well, he's not watching. He might be the only one.

Roughing it
Following a trek with Barack Obama last season, "Running Wild With Bear Grylls" seems more committed to camping trips with those closer in age to the president's daughters. On Monday, Nick Jonas makes it sound like tackling mountains is a lot easier than dating within the Disney Channel pool. On Tuesday, Julianne Hough proves to be less equipped, but more engaging, if only because of her amusing gag reflexes every time her guide offers an elephant-dung shake in the middle of the South African bush.

Magical mystery tour
Ringo Starr may have retired as the conductor on "Shining Time Station," but he and his former moptops aren't done teaching children that all you need is love. The animated "Beatbugs" weaves Beatles tunes into its 12-minute adventures, in which suburban critters face such dilemmas as trying to think their way out of a discarded jam jar. Kids will enjoy the energetic characters, while parents will groove on covers from Eddie Vedder, Pink and others.
