Family man

The list of "Family Feud" hosts is lengthy, but none has mastered the combination of empathy and eye-rolling quite as well as Steve Harvey, which is why he's stuck around long enough to celebrate his 1,000th episode. Producers are promising a big surprise, which I can only hope means an appearance from every single person who has ever been surveyed.

6 p.m. WUCW, Ch. 23

Under the sea

Before slipping on your scuba-diving suit to help Ellen DeGeneres' Dory reunite with her loved ones on the big screen, dive back into 2003's "Finding Nemo," the film that made Albert Brooks an unlikely big fish in the animated world. The highly anticipated sequel, "Finding Dory," lands in theaters June 17.

7 p.m. KSTP, Ch. 5

The wayward sense

Jason Patric is the latest newcomer to "Wayward Pines," the mysterious town that appears to be under siege by the Governor from "The Walking Dead" and discarded extras from "Avatar." I ditched M. Night Shyamalan's first TV series early last season, and watching this new episode didn't give me much incentive to move back in.

8 p.m. KMSP, Ch. 9
