What will fans watch instead of their favorite sports? Football fans can at least dream of games to come as they take in the 2020 NFL Draft (8 p.m., ABC, ESPN, NFL Network). Originally scheduled to take place at a Las Vegas venue, the draft will be presented from ESPN’s Connecticut headquarters, where all concerned will practice appropriate social distancing. The event also features a “Draft-A-Thon” raising funds and celebrating first responders and health care workers at the frontlines of the fight against COVID-19.
Tonight’s draft plays into another aspect of fandom: fantasy teams and leagues. How are they impacted by the absence of games? Will sports gravitate toward video and virtual games, dispensing with the “real thing” entirely?
— HBO launches the new reality series “We’re Here” (9 p.m., TV-MA). In each episode, three drag performers and experts will travel to small towns, adopt drag “daughters” and teach them their flamboyant ways in time for a one-night extravaganza.
The mentors, Bob the Drag Queen, Eureka O’Hara and Shangela Laquifa Wadley, are first seen arriving in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in oversized themed vehicles that are a cross between the Batmobile and the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile. One gets the sense the circus has arrived.
The trio seems convinced that the locals might be hostile and that their arrival represents a necessary tonic for a stodgy burg in need of liberation. For the most part, they seem welcomed by the residents, from shoppers to hairdressers, who enjoy the excitement that these over-the-top outsiders bring. Nevertheless, our experts appear to be intent on finding intolerance and hostility as if to validate their status as “outsiders.” That’s kind of hard, given that they’re all but given the keys to the city and arrive with the imprimatur of HBO.
— For what it’s worth, tonight marks the series finale for the second incarnation of “Will & Grace” (9 p.m., NBC, TV-14). The reboot ends with Will refusing to get misty over nostalgia and Grace tiptoeing toward maternity. A retrospective clip show (9:30 p.m.) follows.
Very much a product of its time, “Will & Grace” arrived in the fall of 1998 after “Seinfeld” departed in May of that year. It filled a huge gap in NBC’s “must-see-TV” lineup.
A relative ratings success when it was revived in 2017, “Will & Grace” arrived like a 21st-century Rip Van Winkle, exploring ideas of gay marriage and smartphone dating apps that weren’t even dreamed of during the show’s first go-round.
The show’s original run began to grow tiresome when it became overly reliant on celebrity guest spots. The second series seemed like nothing but a guest spot for its original cast. Worse, it inspired other revivals, including “Murphy Brown,” “Mad About You” and “Roseanne.”
Two other NBC series — “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” (8:30 p.m., TV-14) and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” (10 p.m., TV-14) — wrap up their seasons tonight.
