1) “Dolly Parton – From Rhinestones to Rock & Roll,” 10 p.m., ABC. On the eve of the Country Music Association awards, Robin Roberts interviews Parton (shown here). She ranges from Parton’s early years to her new album, linking with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Pat Benatar, Steven Tyler and more.
2) “FBI True,” 9 p.m., CBS. Here are two stories from opposite coasts: A Los Angeles suburb was battered by a gang that dealt drugs, extorted and did hate attacks. The FBI flooded 40 state and federal officers into a town of 14,000. And in New York in 2010, a T-shirt vendor spotted someone setting his truck on fire in Times Square. The FBI rushed to immobilize the bomb, then searched for the bomber.
3) “Welcome to Wrexham,” 10 and 10:30 p.m., FX. Fueled by millions from its new owners (actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney), this small-town Welsh team nears its goal – getting promoted out of the lowest soccer league. In next week’s season-finale, we’ll learn how that goes. For now, this starts with charming half-hour talking about fathers – especially the dads of Reynolds and one of his stars. The second half-hour has a key game.
4) “Native America,” 9 p.m., PBS. Media images of natives seem to be overwhelmingly male. Now this show – which has featured some women in other episodes – offers fascinating profiles. Jamie Okuma is a fashion designer, Betty Osceola is an environment activist and Arigon Starr is a singer-songwriter whose work mixes country, rock and whimsy.
5) “Dancing With the Stars,” 8-10 p.m., ABC and Disney+. This is the week to celebrate the music of past videos. Paula Abdul is a guest judge and the group dances are to the sounds of the Backstreet Boys and Psy. Individuals dance to Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, Shakira, Elton John and more.
