1) “Opry 100,” 8-11 p.m. Wednesday, NBC and Peacock. The Grand Ole Opry will turn 100 on Nov. 28. Now (eight months early), Blake Shelton hosts a live mega-concert. Performers include Carrie Underwood, Garth Brooks (shown here), Trisha Yearwood, Clint Black, Reba McEntire, Brad Paisley, Kelsea Ballerini, Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Jelly Roll and more.
2) Basketball. The NCAA tournament begins with the “play in” games, at 6:30 and 9 p.m. ET Tuesday and Wednesday on TruTV. Then things move to CBS, TBS, TNT and TruTV. CBS has games at noon, 2:30, 7 and 9:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday, wiping out soaps and comedies. Then it’s noon, 2:30, 5 and 7:30 Saturday; Sunday’s the same, but no 7:30 game.
3) “Doc” season-finale, 9 p.m. Tuesday, Fox. A great season ends powerfully. After losing eight years of memories, Dr. Amy Larsen has learned she mis-treated other doctors, including TJ. Now his military background makes him vital during a mass casualty. Meanwhile, Richard has saddled her with guilt over a fatal error he made years ago. That story peaks.
4) “Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light” opener, 9 p.m. Sunday, PBS. “Wolf Hall” was the potent story of Henry VIII (Damian Lewis) and Thomas Cromwell, an ex-blacksmith who was his fixer. A decade latter, this excellent sequel wraps Cromwell’s story. After executing Anne Boleyn, Henry wants to smooth his marriage to Jane Seymour (Kate Phillips).
5) “iHeartRadio Music Awards,” 8-10 p.m. today, Fox. LL Cool J hosts and Billie Eilish (one of the artist-of-the-year nominees) performs. So do Bad Bunny, Gracie Abrams, Kenny Chesney, GloRilla, Muni Long and more – including Nelly, who gets a special award. Also honored will be Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey and the Los Angeles firefighters.
6) “Good American Family,” Wednesday, Hulu; “Happy Face,” Thursday, Paramount+. Real people are played by TV stars, in two eight-part series. One (played by Ellen Pompeo of “Grey’s Anatomy”) thought she’d adopted an 8-year-old, then felt this was a fierce adult. Another (Annaleigh Ashford of “B Positive”) learned her dad was the “happy face killer.”
7) “Doctor Odyssey,” 9 p.m. Thursday, ABC. The last time Athena Grant (Oscar-nominee Angela Bassett) took a cruise, it didn’t go well; there were robbers, an explosion and a sinking ship. That was on “9-1-1”; now she tests fate by being on another cruise. It’s Casino Week and she suspects that two passengers are scheming to grab the money.
8) “Farmer Wants a Wife” opener, 9 p.m. Thursday, Fox. Four farmers each meet eight women. Overall, the show has four nurses and a radiology tech, three hairstylists and an eyelash tech. It also has at least six women in sales or marketing, plus a model, a musician, a barista, a dance coach, a zoo employee and more, including a criminal defense paralegal.
9) “Happy’s Place” season-finale, 8 p.m. Friday, NBC. This started shakily, due to dumbing down Gabby and Isabella. But it has improved and will be back next season. The finale focuses on a romance between Bobbie and Emmett. That’s might seem like a mismatch, but the actors (Reba McEntire and Rex Linn) have been a couple for several years.
10) “Marie Antoinette” season-opener, 10 p.m. Sunday, PBS. After two years, this is back for a second season. Marie remains good-hearted, but frilly; Louis has become a diligent king, surrounded by schemers. And a new, real-life character sparks the season. She’s a pickpocket and scam artist who has a fringe claim to noble status and a false claim she knows the queen.
