Happily ever after

Anyone who has stuck with "The Mindy Project" through all six seasons knows the sitcom wouldn't dare wrap on a bum note. The ever-so-sweet finale makes sure all the characters find true bliss, which, in the case of Mindy Kaling's rom-com-loving doctor, means finding a soul mate to fall asleep with in front of the TV.

The ultimate whodunit

Retired law-enforcement heavies unite to go on "The Hunt for the Zodiac Killer," a new docuseries about finding answers to one of America's most notorious unsolved crimes. The presence of cameras almost ensures that the heroes will act more like "CSI" stars than real cops, but watching them try to reheat the coldest of cold cases is still compelling.

Working-class hero

"Future Man," the latest offering from the wonderfully warped minds of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, acknowledges early on that its plot — a video-game ace (Josh Hutcherson) is called upon to save the world — is a direct rip-off of "The Last Starfighter." That doesn't take away from the whiz-bang fun of this sci-fi romp, with Eliza Coupe ("Happy Endings") mining laughs as a stone-cold Terminator.
