The Office 9 p.m., Channel 7

This sitcom tends to revolve around parties and events, and this time it’s a big one. Pam (Jenna Fischer) and Jim (John Krasinski) are getting married, after all these years of courtship. What I admire about “The Office’’ (and, OK, NBC) is that the ceremony is not going to take place during a sweeps month. Also, the promotion has been fairly restrained, compared to the way NBC used to bombard us whenever a “Friends’’ pair hooked up. The hourlong “Office’’ wedding will take place in Niagara Falls.

The Mentalist 10 p.m., Channel 4

This is a Teresa Lisbon episode, in which the agent is suspected in the murder of a child molester. I’ve been pretty impressed with actress Robin Tunney in this series, as her flinty demeanor nicely complements Simon Baker’s elegance. She has made Lisbon into a forceful detective without overplaying the gruffness.

FlashForward 8 p.m., Channel 5

It’s all promotion for the 4/29 episode.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation 9 p.m., Channel 4
