What’s on TV tonight?

Must-see

Shark Tank season-finale, 9 p.m., ABC. One man has created a “nubrella” that keeps the rain out by surrounding him like a robot head; another has invested $60,000 in a bendable, build-able toy. A couple turns llama droppings into fertilizer. we also re-meet Robert Allison. Earlier, he rejected $1 million for his invention, which requires seatbelts to be locked before a car starts; we’ll see how he’s doing.

Caprica, 9 p.m. Syfy. at the end of last week’s episode (rerunning at 8 p.m.), Zoe Graystone’s mom told a crowd (incorrectly) that her daughter was a terrorist, responsible for the train bomb; tonight, the world lashes out at the family. Zoe is dead, but her avatar lives in a virtual domain and inside a robot. Tonight, she and her living friend Lacy try to cope. they also meet an avatar of Joseph Adama’s daughter, who died in the explosion.

Worth watching

The Edge of never (2009), 8 p.m., Showtime. this documentary introduces passionate extreme skiiers with a profound respect for a mountain. the goal is to have Kye Peterson, 15, try the same route that killed his dad. You’ll soon become involved with three generations of skiiers.

It’s a rock comedy with little music and less wit.
