The rumbler

George Foreman's transformation from stoic bruiser to good-natured grill salesman is documented in "Foreman," a new documentary from Chris Perkel. The boxing highlights alone should pack a punch.

7 p.m., Epix

Indecision '17

"The Mindy Project" returns for a final season of watching the rom-com-loving doctor hem and haw her way through life. Marriage doesn't seem to have made her any more committed, as she seems to find every excuse not to spend time with her "beloved." Fans will have the opposite reaction to these final episodes, especially with the promise of an upcoming appearance from Reese Witherspoon.

Where it began

"Broad City," a crasser — and funnier — version of "Laverne & Shirley," returns with a sweeter than usual episode that looks back at the roots of a die-hard friendship via a tribute to the movie "Sliding Doors." The show gets back to its cruder ways next week when one of the girls soils herself during a party. I don't recall Laverne ever having to deal with that particular issue.

9:30 p.m., Comedy Central
