2) “Schitt’s Creek,” 11 a.m. to midnight. It’s time to relive a little comedy gem. This starts with a rich guy (Eugene Levy) losing everything and moving his family to a tiny town that he bought because of its silly name. The first two seasons run in order today, with two each on Sunday and Monday — ending with the final season that swept the Emmys.

3) “Yellowstone,” 11 a.m. to 3:55 a.m., Paramount Network. Here’s another terrific series being repeated over the Labor Day weekend. These reruns started Friday, continue Sunday (11 a.m. to 4:45 a.m.) and conclude Monday (11 a.m. to 12:15 a.m.).

4) “Harlan Coben’s Final Twist,” 8 p.m., CBS. This true-crime series had a brief mid-season run, did well, and landed a prime Monday spot for this fall. Its new season starts Oct. 5, but first here’s a rerun: A woman wakes up to find her husband has been shot in the head while they were sleeping.

5) ALSO: Some excellent Harrison Ford movies overlap. It’s “The Fugitive” at 5 p.m. on AMC and the first two “Star Wars” films at 6 and 9 on FX. Other top films include “Titanic” (7 p.m., Bravo), “Beauty and the Beast” (7:50 p.m., Freeform) and a music double-feature on CMT, with — “Dirty Dancing” at 7 p.m. and “Grease” at 9:30.
