1) “The Wall” season-opener, 10 p.m., NBC. After gobbling up most of NBC’s schedule for 16 days, the Olympic trials finally ended Sunday. That lets this show go ahead … for a few weeks, until the Olympics begin July 26. Tonight (shown here), host Chris Hardwick has a dad-daughter duo.

2) “America’s Got Talent,” 8-10 p.m., NBC. It’s been a stop-and-go season – two episodes on, two weeks of being bumped by the Olympic trials. Now the qualifying round resumes, with a rerun set for 9 p.m. Sunday.

3) “All American,” 8 and 9 p.m., CW. This is saving a couple new episodes for when its spin-off (“All American: Homecoming”) starts its season next week. For now, it reruns the previous episodes, as people fret about Spencer’s draft day, Olivia’s book-signing and Jordan-and-Layla’s wedding.

4) “My Life is Murder,” 10 p.m., BBC America; also, www.acorn.tv. Just before he marries into a rich family, a man is poisoned to death. That’s bad news for the chef (a friend of Alexa’s friend), who made the fatal meal. As usual, the setting is bright; the solution and confession arrive way too easily.

5) MORE: There’s a surplus of best-pictre Oscar-winners. AMC had two of them back-to-back – Martin Scorsese’s “The Departed” (2006) at 4 p.m. and James Cameron’s “Titanic” (1997) at 7:30. The Paramount Network adds Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator” at 8. Also, Sunday’s “BET Awards” rerun, from 8 to 11:30 p.m. on BET.
