What to Watch on Monday: 'The Closer' series finale and several debuts

Hotel Hell (8pm, Fox) - In this new series, chef Gordon Ramsay ("Hell's Kitchen," "MasterChef") travels the U.S. offering advice and criticism to the proprietors of struggling hotels. In part 1 of a 2-part episode, Ramsay visits a picturesque Vermont inn with many problems. My review of "Hotel Hell."

Stars Earn Stripes (8pm, NBC) - No more Olympics!! However you feel about that, NBC is hoping tuning in to their network was habit-forming and that you'll watch this new reality series in which "celebrities" compete in military-style challenges. It's hosted by General Wesley Clark and Samantha Harris, and featuring Eve Torres, Dolvett Quince, Todd Palin, Nick Lachey, Terry Crews, Dean Cain, Laila Ali, and Picabo Street.

The Closer (9pm, TNT) - In tonight's series finale, Brenda (Kyra Sedgwick, right) leads an investigation that she thinks will finally bring her nemesis Phillip Stroh to justice, but her obsession with him soon puts her career -- and her life -- in jeopardy. Read more about tonight's finale (no spoilers!).

Bunheads (9pm, ABC Family) - Michelle is pleased to find a new place to get coffee, but dealing with the barista proves difficult (how cool would it be if this was Luke from "Gilmore Girls"?).

Major Crimes (10pm, TNT) - In this spinoff of "The Closer," featuring characters from that series, Capt. Sharon Raydor (Mary McDonnell) takes over for the departed Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson. In the opening episode, the unit investigates a string of store robberies that turns fatal, and an undercover detective proves herself and is transferred into the division. Is it any good? Here's my review.

Grimm (10pm, NBC) - Season 2 opens with Nick dealing with his mother's unexpected return. Meanwhile, a foreign plot to hunt down Nick comes to light, and Rosalee and Monroe attempt to awaken Juliette from her coma.

Gallery Girls (10pm, Bravo) - The lives of seven young women in New York City's art world are tracked in this new reality series.

Teen Wolf (10pm, MTV) - Scott races to uncover Gerard's master plan following a shocking death on the lacrosse field.
