1) “Great Performances,” 9 p.m., PBS. A dancer since she was 2, Tiler Peck (shown here) became the New York City Ballet’s prima ballerina. Then came a divorce, an injury and her father’s death. Filmed over six years, this sees Peck, now 36, rebuild her life. It closes with gorgeous excerpts from her choreography debut, an NYCB piece set to a Poulenc concerto.
2) “Stumble” debut, 8:30 p.m., NBC. As the cheer-team coach at Sammy Davis Senior Junior College, Courteney won national titles. Then she was fired and started over in a team-less school. At its best, this comedy feels like the start of “Glee”; at its worst, it tries too hard. There’s strong work from Jenn Lyon as the coach and Taran Killam as her husband.
3) “Happy’s Place,” 8 p.m., NBC. In its first season, this was fairly pleasant. Now, oddly, the second starts with an awful episode. The best characters — Reba McEntire and Rex Linn (her real-life fiance) — lean toward a romance; both are promptly reduced to absurd and humorless actions.
4) “Sheriff Country,” 8 p.m., CBS. The good news is that the show finally wraps its story about the sheriff’s daughter as a murder suspect. In other storylines, “Sheriff Country” has sharp characters and interesting stories. But this one demands wildly overwrought moves on all sides.
5) “The Wizard of Oz,” 8 p.m. ET, Turner Classic Movies. “Wicked” has been getting all the attention. But now, two weeks before its second movie opens, we can revisit the story that started this. This movie is terrific, with great music, a good story and Judy Garland. It’s followed at 10 by a very different gem, “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”
