I knew that once former NFL players appeared on “Dancing with the Stars” there would be no way of keeping them down on the Astroturf. They’re everywhere; doing things not always associated with gridiron tough guys. Like working as interior designers. How else do you explain “Keyshawn Johnson: Tackling Design” (11 a.m., today, A&E)?

This 11-episode series follows the retired wide receiver as he works with fabrics and furniture and finishes, makes exacting choices about hinges, handles and other details, and negotiates with contractors, carpenters, painters and an ever-shifting backfield of personal assistants and gofers. As Vince Lombardi would never have said, the proper window treatment isn’t everything. It’s the only thing.

• Daisy Martinez, the longtime host of the PBS series “Daisy Cooks!” makes her move to basic cable with “Viva Daisy” (8:30 a.m., today, Food) . A Brooklyn native and daughter of Puerto Rican-born parents, Martinez learned to cook from her family and refined her approach at the French Culinary Institute and a behind the scenes stint on the PBS series “Lidia’s Italian-American Kitchen.” She’s been a regular contributor to “Every Day with Rachael Ray” and the author of “Latin Flavors That Will Rock Your World” (Hyperion, 2005).

• Two series air their final episodes tonight. The whimsical romantic comedy “Eli Stone” (9 p.m., today, ABC) comes to an end. The series combined magical realism and impromptu musical numbers in ways that some found utterly charming and others merely cloying. It was clearly part of a trend on ABC that included shows like “Cupid” and “Pushing Daisies,” a trend that appears to be over.

Over on CBS, the murder and mayhem come to an end on a two-episode helping of “Harper’s Island” (8 p.m. and 9 p.m., today, CBS), a cheesy serial about a serial killer set on a resort island during a wedding celebration.

• “Entourage” (9:30 p.m., Sunday, HBO) returns for a sixth season with changes looming and questions in the air. For starters: will the boys get tired of their frat-house existence before viewers grow tired of them?

Vince (Alan Grenier) appears to be on a comeback with his stint in Martin Scorsese’s “Gatsby,” but it looks like a begrudging lurch toward maturity may be breaking up his gang. Vince’s manager Eric (Kevin Connolly) mulls the idea of moving out and getting his own place. And even Lloyd (Rex Lee) the doormat assistant to high-powered agent Ari (Jeremy Piven) has decided to stand up for himself.

I’ve always been rather ambivalent about this series. The guys have a breezy camaraderie, but at the end of the day, their arrested development and vulgar, idea-free banter grows tiresome, even in half-hour helpings.

Unlike traditional sitcoms, “Entourage” seems to exult in pricey location shots. You get the sense that the producers spent a fortune to create the party for the opening of the ersatz “Gatsby.” And to what end?

On the other hand this is a show about Hollywood and Hollywood is a place where people regularly spend a fortune on the banal, the adolescent and the forgettable. How else do you explain the “Transformers” movie franchise?
