What really big events do you recall from 2015? BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer my year-end roundups to come after Christmas. There’s something comforting, if not fitting, about surveying the wreckage of torn packaging under the tree while looking forward to the new year and surveying the events of the past 365 days. But I’m not in charge of ABC News, so here comes “The Year: 2015” (9 p.m.), a two-hour survey that recalls some of the year’s really big events. They include the papal visit; the endless presidential contest and its focus on a “Celebrity Apprentice” host; last winter’s frigid conditions and the Supreme Court’s decision on marriage equality. Robin Roberts will anchor the proceedings with help from George Stephanopoulos, David Muir, Lara Spencer, Elizabeth Vargas, Amy Robach, Juju Chang, Dan Harris, Ginger Zee, Byron Pitts and Michael Strahan. As a blend of nighttime news and morning talk-show distraction, “The Year” will put plenty of focus on ephemeral celebrity gossip. Why focus on the biggest refugee crisis since the end of World War II when you can talk about the breakups of bold-faced names including Ben and Jen and Blake and Miranda — or the sports minutiae of “Deflate-gate”? I had already forgotten about the Ashley Madison scandal. But the folks hosting “The Year” haven’t! And, of course, there will be much discussion of Kaitlyn Jenner, an all-purpose celebrity story blending hot-button social issues and Kardashian chatter. Remember, every time you even think about The Kardashians, an angel loses its wings. • While we’re on the subject of slightly moldy stories, “Bizarre Foods” (9 p.m., Travel, TVPG) devotes an episode to foods that gain a certain special something with age, not to mention decay. You might want to hold off on the cookies and eggnog while watching gourmands sample 32-year-old Korean bean paste, very spoiled lamb and a cheese made from rotten potatoes. Bon appetit! Not quite moldy, but hardly new, a Christmas-themed helping of “Hollywood Game Night” (8 p.m., NBC, TV-14) from 2013 invites Ray Romano, Cheryl
Hines, Gavin DeGraw, Rachel Bilson, Andy Roddick and Brooklyn Decker to share wisecracks and party games.
TONIGHT’S OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • A biography shows Bart’s family ties on “The Simpsons” (8 p.m., Fox, r, TV-PG). • Children (Henry Thomas and Drew Barrymore) befriend a lost visitor in the 1982 fantasy “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” (8 p.m., WGN). • Felt creatures deliver their lists to the North Pole in the 2008 special “A Muppets Christmas: A Letter to Santa” (8 p.m., AMC). • Manny goes the distance to make sure he’s not on the naughty list on “Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas” (8:30 p.m., Fox, TV-PG), a special from 2011. • A frantic search for a stolen missile on “NCIS: New Orleans” (9 p.m., CBS, r, TV-14). • A train wreck fills the wards on “Chicago Med” (9 p.m., NBC, r, TV-14). • “Empire” stars host “Taraji and Terrence’s White Hot Holidays” (9 p.m., Fox, r, TV-14), featuring musical performances from Mary J. Blige, John Legend and Jamie Foxx. • A cartel exacts vengeance on “Limitless” (10 p.m., CBS, r, TV-14). • Evidence that may clear Boden cuts both ways on “Chicago Fire” (10 p.m., NBC, r, TV14). • “Booze Traveler” (10 p.m.,
