1) “A Grammy Salute to Earth, Wind & Fire: The 21at Night of September,” 8-10 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS. In 1978, an EWF song began “Do you remember the 21st night of September?” It hit No. 8 on the charts, one of the band’s seven singles (and seven albums) in the top-10. Now Sept. 21 is the night for a concert tribute to a rousing sound, with horns (shown here) guitars and more, bursting loose.
2) “MasterChef” finale, 8-10 p.m. Wednesday, Fox. Three duos go for the $250,00. Julio Figuerdo and Rachel Sanchez, married for three years, left their jobs and took out a loan to try the show. Jessica Bosworth and Jesse Rosenwald have been together for eight years. Aivan Tran is cooking with her aunt, Tina Duong, a Vietnam native.
3) “Opry 100,” 8-11 p.m. today, NBC. This rerun celebrates 100 years of the Grand Ole Opry. A busy night has longtime stars — Blake Shelton (who hosts), Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, Carrie Underwood, Clint Black, Alan Jackson. Keith Urban, Vince Gill, Dierks Bentley — plus newer voices: Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson and more.
4) “Name That Tune” and “Celebrity Weakest Link” openers, 8 and 9 p.m. today, Fox. The TV season gets an advance start with “Tune” and a slightly altered “Link.” Jane Lynch still hosts, but now there are celebrities (starting with her old “Glee” colleagues), which deflates the tension. She has some fun with them, but much of it feels forced.
5) “Dancing With the Stars” opener, 8-10 p.m. Tuesday, ABC and Disney+. Here are 16 stars (or semi-, sorta-, pseudo-stars). There are the brothers of Bindi Irwin (the 2015 winner) and Zac Efron. There are athletes (gymnast Jordan Chiles, basketball’s Baron Davis) and former child stars (Corey Feldman, Danielle Fishel), plus “influencers” and more.
6) “High Potential” season-opener, 10 p.m. Tuesday, ABC. A big hit its first season, this is the only scripted, broadcast show starting its season this week. Kaitlin Olson play Morgan, a cleaning lady with a knack for crime-solving. The Game Maker may be targeting her family, so she burrows away with her three children … but keeps being tugged toward new cases.
7) “America’s Got Talent,” 8-10 p.m. Tuesday, NBC. Four acts — two rappers, a singer and a dance group — are already in next week’s finals. Now a dozen more compete for the last six spots (with results at 8 p.m. Wednesday). There are two magicians, two dance groups and two choirs, plus acrobats, a trapeze act, a rapper, two singers and a young guitarist.
8) “The Morning Show” season-opener, Wednesday, Apple TV+. This lush, star-stuffed show (including Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon) jumps ahead two years. Networks have merged and crises range from AI to the environment. Also streaming are “Gen V” (Amazon Prime, Wednesday) and Jason Bateman’s new “Black Rabbit” (Netflix, Thursday).
9) CBS fall preview, 8 p.m. Friday, CBS. This is the week networks tout their fall line-ups; NBC is 10 p.m. Tuesday, Fox is 9 Sunday. Those two, alas, have little new to boost: Combined, NBC and Fox have three new shows, none scripted. But CBS has a lively comedy (“DMV”), two dramas (“Boston Blue” and “Sheriff Country”) and the country-music “The Road.”
10) “99 to Beat,” 8 p.m. ET Sunday, Fox. And here’s Fox’s other new fall show, with 100 people competing in basic games. The last one will be eliminated each time, until there’s a million-dollar winner. Erin Andrews and Ken Jeong host the show, which next week will take its spot at 9 p.m. Wednesdays, after the season-opener of “The Floor.”
