By one count, Keith (shown here) had 20 No. 1 country songs, starting with his debut, “Should’ve Been a Cowboy.” He died of cancer at 62; now his music is sung by Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Eric Church, Lainey Wilson, Darius Rucker, Trace Adkins, Ashley McBryde and more.

2) “American Masters,” 8 p.m. Tuesday, PBS. The opening credits ripple with fun, in the “Pink Panther” style. We can tell this portrait of writer-director Blake Edwards will be special. It views his light gems (“Pink Panther,” etc.), plus his heftier films, his personal depression and his warm, 41-year marriage to Julie Andrews.

3) “The Chosen” season-opener, 8 p.m. Sunday, CW. It’s the fourth of seven seasons, tracing Jesus and the people nearby. Starting as a modest online show, “Chosen” has found popularity, with excellent acting and filming offsetting any stiff dialog. Now the eight-episode season reaches CW, starting with the death of John the Baptist.

4) “Only Murders in the Building” season-opener, Tuesday, Hulu. Each season has been nominated for the best-comedy Emmy, but this may be the best one yet. It cleverly entwines past stories and stars (Meryl Streep, Paul Rudd, etc.), while launching a new tale: Charles’ body-double was killed, but he may have been the target.

5) “Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power,” Thursday, Amazon Prime. This epic’s second season opens with three of its eight episodes. That leads a huge streaming week. Hulu has “Only Murders” Tuesday and “After Baywatch” Wednesday. Friday adds “The Deliverance” horror film on Netflix and the terrific “Fall Guy” on Peacock.

6) “The Bachelorette,” 8-10 p.m. today and Tuesday. ABC. Jenn Tran is in Hawaii with her final three guys (Devin Strader, Marcus Shoberg, Jonathon Johnson). After dates via boat, Jeep and helicopter, she invites them for overnight stays. Tuesday brings the “Men Tell All” episode, setting up next week’s two-night finale.

7) “Counting the Votes,” 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, PBS. How secure are our votes? Margaret Hoover (great-granddaughter of Herbert Hoover) has a national tour, viewing the machines and meeting the people. She starts with a fellow Republican, Jeb Bush: After the chaos of 2000, he pushed Florida reforms that passed unanimously.

8) Football. At 9 p.m. Friday, CW’s “Inside the NFL” previews the pro season, which starts Sept. 5. On Saturday, the first full day of college football starts with the two top-ranked teams: Georgia hosts Clemson (noon ET, ABC ) and Ohio State hosts Akron (3:30 p.m., CBS). There’s more, including UCLA-Hawaii (7:30, CBS).

9) “Snowpiercer,” 9 p.m. Sunday, AMC. Three weeks from the series finale, this is stuffed with huge moments. Villains are slain and a new one emerges, alongside fresh obstacles. Melanie returns, unaware of the death of her loved one (Ben) and the crises of her daughter. Epic characters come face-to-face, with the world at risk.

10) ALSO: Bumped by last week’s convention, shows are back with new episodes. NBC has The Wall” at 10 p.m. today … ABC has double “Lucky 13” (10 p.m. Tuesday, 9 Thursday) and “Claim to Fame” (9-11 p.m. Wednesday) … Also on Wednesday, CBS has double “Big Brother” at 8 and “The Real CSI Miami” at 10.
