“America’s Favorite Mom” (7 p.m., NBC): Better get your head out of that virtual sand long enough to do something nice for mom in a real-life way on Mother’s Day. NBC marks the centennial of this holiday with “America’s Favorite Mom.” During the broadcast, one lucky mom will be crowned, based on online voting, from semifinalists in five categories: Military Mom, Working Mom, Single Mom, Unconventional Mom and Stay-At-Home Mom. Prizes for the winning mom include $250,000 in cash. Donny and Marie Osmond are hosts of the one-hour special.

“Simpsons” (8 p.m., Fox): Leave it to the irreverent “Simpsons” to kill off Homer’s mom on Mother’s Day. Yes, Mona Simpson (voiced by Glenn Close) unexpectedly passes away, and Homer is riddled with guilt for having failed to reveal his true feelings for her.
