1) “61st Street” season-opener, 9 p.m., CW. AMC filmed two seasons of this deeply layered story, with Courtney B. Vance (above) as a Chicago lawyer – but only aired the first one. More than two years later, we see the second on a different network. It’s tough, with a brutal assault and emphasis on the attacker, propelling the lawyer down a lonely road.
2) “All American: Homecoming,” 8 p.m., CW. At a time when other broadcast networks avoid new, scripted shows in the summer, CW has two of them. Here, Simone pushes the tennis team too hard. Also, Amara and Nate clash over new campus safety measures.
3) “Bob Newhart: Legacy of Laughter,” 8-9 p.m., CBS. Here’s a late addition to the schedule. Newhart (see separate pieces here, under “stories” and “news and quick comments”) was one of the all-time comedy greats. This hour has clips and memories.
4) “My Life is Murder” season-finale, 10 and 11 p.m., BBC America. This low-key show – light, pleasant, kind of shallow – usually solves a mystery each episode. Now, however, it has a fairly good two-parter, as Alexa (Lucy Lawless) and friends probe country-club murder.
5) “History’s Greatest Escapes,” 9 p.m., History. Two-and-a-half years after the first season ended, a new one is here. Morgan Freeman hosts a look at a loner inmate who wanted to write crime novels and schemed an escape from a notorious Mississippi prison farm.
6) Spider-Man marathon, FX. This starts with “Into the Spider-Verse” (2018), which won an Oscar for best animated feature. Then it goes to live-action films starring Tom Holland – “Homecoming” (2017) at 2 p.m.; “Far From Home” (2019) at 5 (repeating at 11) and “No Way Home” (2021) at 8.
