"The Voice" (7 p.m. KARE, Ch. 11) heads into the battle rounds, which means we'll no longer have the thrill of seeing Adam Levine spin in his chair. Cher stops by to give advice and tells contestants they should seriously consider wearing wigs.

Russell Peters, one of the best comedians working today, offers his latest stand-up special, "Notorious," and four-part docu-series, "Russell Peters vs. the World" (Netflix). "Notorious" was taped in Sydney, Australia, while the docu-series follows Peters during his worldwide tour.
