Music, critters, kids’ favorites
Singer and former TV comedy star Reba McEntire performs before an intimate studio audience in Nashville on “Invitation Only: Reba McEntire” (8 p.m., CMT). McEntire will mix numbers from her new album, her first studio effort in six years, with favorites from her three decades in the business.

Her last 13 studio albums have gone platinum. Viewers who only know her from her old WB sitcom can get a refresher course with back-to-back episodes of “Reba” (7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., ION).
