MONDAY
Charlie Harper’s back from the dead! OK, so it’s only Charlie’s ghost. And said spirit is being played not by the less-than-dearly departed Charlie Sheen but rather guest star Kathy Bates (above, with Jon Cryer) on a new“Two and a Half Men.” (CBS, 9 p.m.)
TUESDAY

THURSDAY
The Internet is not just for saying mean and nasty things to people you’ll never meet. It also provides places where those struggling with life-threatening conditions can find aid and comfort, as detailed in the documentary“65_RedRoses.” (OWN, 9 and 10:30 p.m.)
FRIDAY
When “The West Wing’s” Mary McCormack first took on the role of a U.S. Marshal on the witness-protection procedural “In Plain Sight,” we seriously considered turning state’s evidence. But now she’s giving up badge and Glock as that cable hit ends its five-season run.(USA, 10 p.m.)
