1) “Blue Bloods” season-opener, 10 p.m., CBS. This wraps up a packed week, with season-openers for virtually all CBS shows. It’s the final season for “Blue Bloods,” “Young Sheldon” and “Bob (Hearts) Abiishola,” but with a difference: The others will end in May; “Blue Bloods” will pause this summer, then wrap up in the fall. Tonight, Jamie goes undercover in a human-trafficking wing and his dad (Tom Selleck, shown here)m the police commissioner, again battles the mayor.
2) More season-openers, CBS. At 8 p.m., “SWAT” sends the team to Mexico City; in a story that continues next week, Hondo must bring back someone who eluded him a decade ago. And at 9, “Fire Country” finds Bode back in prison, while the others battle the effects of a massive earthquake.
3) “Oppenheimer,” Peacock. Three weeks before the Academy Awards, here’s the front-runner. Christopher Nolan transformed a dark and elusive subject – the creation of the atom bomb – into a richly human story. The result has 13 Oscar nominations, including star Cillian Murphy, co-stars Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr., and three for Nolan, as director, writer and producer.
4) More streaming. Two big-deal stars arrive today. On Hulu, it’s Amy Schumer with the second season of “Life & Beth”; in the first, Beth fled her heavy-drinking city life and met a quiet farmer (Michael Cera). And on Amazon Prime, it’s Jennifer Lopez and “This Is Me … Now,” which doubles as a concert film and a documentary profile.
5) “Great Performances,” 9-11 p.m., PBS. Back in October of 2003, the Los Angeles Philharmonic opened Disney Hall, a monolith (more than a quarter-billion dollars, countng the parking garage) from architect Frank Gehry. For its 20th anniversary, it honored Gehry, 94, wth this concert that includes jazzman Herbie Hancock, singer.H.E.R. and dancer/choreographer Lucinda Chllds.
