FRIDAY
“Greatest #At Home Videos,” 8 p.m., CBS. As CBS tells it, this is the end — wrapping up a four-week run of videos people made at home, often while isolated. Still, we’ll be surprised if there aren’t more. So far, there’s been an endless cascade of bits — sometimes funny, usually fun, occasionally warm — involving people and pets and sheer imagination. And host Cedric the Entertainer keeps asking viewers to send more; we hope this keeps going.
“Great Performances: Much Ado About Nothing,” 9 p.m., PBS. The play Shakespeare wrote around 1598 has been transformed to 2020 Georgia. It opens with a gorgeous song, before tackling the verbal tangles. Kenny Leon is known for directing tough drama revivals; he won a Tony for “A Raisin in the Son” and was nominated for “Fences.” Here, he has beautifully led a gifted cast in a broad comedy. Still, many viewers will get lost in the verbiage, done at full-volume to a Central Park audience.
“Magnum P.I.,” 9 p.m., CBS. This should be when Magnum and Higgins are focusing on their wedding day. Instead, they assist a modern-day Robin Hood who tried to help a school gets supplies, but ended up stealing drugs. Bobby Lee is back as Jin; also guesting are Taylor Wily and Shawn Mokuahi Garnett from “Hawaii Five-0.”
“Catch Me If You Can” (2002), 6:02 and 9:12 p.m., Bravo. From the moment the jazzy score (by John Williams) and stylish credits begin, you know this Steve Spielberg film will be a fun ride. Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks star as a real-life imposter and the agent chasing him. Also: At 9 p.m., kids get “Bolt” (2008) on Freeform and grown-ups get “Terminator 2” (1991) on Showtime. And all day, Turner Classic Movies has Steve McQueen films, including “Bullitt” (1968) at 4:15 p.m.
And streaming. Netflix has “Project Power,” a movie about a pill that delivers a superpower — but you don’t know which one — for five minutes; Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt star. It also has “The Great Heist,” a series based on a real bank job in 1994 Colombia. Amazon Prime counters with the new round of “Eco-Challenge,” the macho race Mark Burnett created before launching “Survivor.”
