“THE CLOSER” (9 p.m., tnt): It’s time to wrap up the interrogations and prepare to say goodbye to Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick). After reigning as one of cable’s most-popular dramas since 2005, “The Closer” is closing shop with a final run of six episodes. In the opener, Brenda tangles with her longtime nemesis and suspected rapist-murderer Philip Stroh (Billy Burke). However, a stunning courtroom maneuver by Brenda may jeopardize the case.
“Opening act” (10 p.m., E!”): Leave it to producer Nigel Lythgoe (“American Idol,” “So You Think You Can Dance”) to bring yet another twist to the talent-show genre. On “Opening Act,” performers spotted on the Internet are given a chance to open for pop artists such as Rod Stewart and Nicki Minaj.
“Perception” (10 p.m., TNT): Eric McCormack (“Will & Grace”) returns to prime time in the drama “Perception.” He plays a neuroscience professor with paranoid schizophrenia who is recruited by the FBI to help crack cases.
