As “Sons of Anarchy” prepares to air its final episode (tonight at 10 on FX), we take a look at five other shows in which motorcycles were prominently featured.

v “Then Came Bronson” (1969-70): Brooding loner Jim Bronson (Michael Parks) dealt with a friend’s suicide by taking to the highways of America on his late pal’s Harley searching for the Meaning of Life.

v “Marcus Welby, M.D.” (1969-76): Way back in the day, James Brolin was a sex symbol of sorts playing Welby’s young protege, Dr. Steven Kiley. He set hearts aflutter by making house calls on his Triumph Bonneville.

v “Happy Days” (1974-83): Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli (Henry Winkler) cherished nothing more in life than his 1949 Triumph Trophy TR5.

v “CHiPs” (1977-83): You simply did not mess with Jon (Larry Wilcox) and Ponch (Eric Estrada) as they cruised Cali’s freeways on their Kawasakis hunting down lawbreakers.

v “Street Hawk” (1985): Rex Smith was the human headliner of this short-lived action series, but the real star was the ex-cop’s experimental cycle, capable of speeds exceeding 300 mph and much more mayhem.

“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” (8 p.m., CBS): Let’s hear it for the misfits. It’s a holly-jolly celebration, as “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” marks its 50th anniversary as a yuletide TV favorite.

“Ground Floor” (9 p.m., TBS): Season 2 begins.

“The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show” (10 p.m., CBS): Musical acts Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran perform while unhealthily thin women parade around in their underwear.

“Sons of Anarchy” series finale (10 p.m., FX): Time to put a fork in it. After seven seasons drenched in blood and tears, the savage Shakespearean motorcycle saga takes its final ride with a 90-minute episode written and directed by creator Kurt Sutter. So what will become of Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam), the ill-advised outlaw who went on a vicious vengeance quest after his wife was murdered? We don’t expect it to be pretty.
