Feel the noize

"Quiet Riot: Well Now You're Here, There's No Way Back" documents the rise and fall of the 1980s rock band, as well as drummer Frankie Banali's attempt to resurrect the group, despite the death of one of its members. 7 p.m. Showtime

Marge gets married

Allison Tolman, the breakout star from "Fargo," returns to FX, this time on "Archer" as the voice of Pam's sister whose wedding rehearsal dinner is disrupted by a battle between the title spy and his arch-enemy. As usual, it's raunchy — and hilarious. 9 p.m. FX

Leaving the nest

That's a wrap. "Parenthood," which presents its final episode, never drew a huge crowd or got much love on the awards circuit, but for us loyal fans, it proved that you could make family-friendly, nonviolent TV that doesn't make you want to throw up. Those who got it are in for a good cry. 9 p.m. KARE, Ch. 11
