TV picks for May 15: 'Hidden Potential,' 'New Girl,' 'Unearthed'

Kudos to Fox for giving "New Girl" a proper chance to say goodbye with an abbreviated but delightful seventh season that wraps up with this one-hour farewell party. Creator Elizabeth Meriwether and breakout star Zooey Deschanel may not have not lived up to their early promise of making this generation's "Mary Tyler Moore Show," but it was among the best of the "Friends" replacements, an impressive achievement in its own right.

"Unearthed" may not be able to explain why the Vikings stumbled on their way to the Super Bowl, but the documentary series does tackle Danish fortresses of the Viking Age in its Season 3 premiere. Future explorations look at the makings of the Titanic, the Statue of Liberty and the city of Pompeii.
