1) “All Creatures Great and Small” season-opener, 9 p.m., PBS. The sweet, village-veterinarian life will be shaken in this excellent season. Tristan has left for World War II and James, who’s talking with Helen (they’re shown here) about having a baby, might be next. Siegfried will soon hire a bookkeeper and a young vet. Tonight brings gentler problems, including a stray dog and a sort-of-stray boy.
2) “Miss Scarlet and the Duke” season-opener and “Funny Woman” debut, 8 and 10 p.m., PBS. Usually a solid show, “Miss Scarlet” slips here. It reduces its brainy heroine to an inept boss and has a so-so mystery; next week is better. “Funny Woman” – based on a novel by Nick Hornby (“High Fidelity”) — traces a TV career starting in 1964. The opener is a bit broad, but it’s worth sticking with.
3) Golden Globe awards, 8-11 p.m., CBS. After some shaky years, this has a new host (Jo Koy), new network and new voters. This summer’s hits are separated by category: “Barbie” can dominate comedies; “Openheimer” is in a tough drama field with “Past Lives,: “Maestro,” “Anatomy of a Fall,” “Zone of Interest” and “Killers of the Flower Moon.” There’s much more, in TV categories.
4) “Grimsburg” debut, about 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT, after football). Jon Hamm is busy in law-enforcement. In “Fargo,” he’s a brutal sheriff; in this animated show, he’s an ex-cop, back for a tough case. He has a pot belly, a son he keeps forgetting and an ex-wife who is a TV reporter and was raised by bears (literally). The result is reasonably amusing.
5) ALSO: For now, two broadcast networks have Sunday-night movies. It’ s Jennifer Lopez’s “The Wedding Planner” (2001) at 7 p.m. on CW and the “Star Wars” prequel “Solo” (2018) at 8 on ABC. And “Grimsburg” (8:30 p.m. ET, Fox) introduces money to an ancient culture. The result is chaotic and fairly funny.
