1) “Rainmaker” season-opener, 10 p.m., USA Network. The first season (shown here) had quick appeal, with Rudy jumping from law school to a ragged little firm, battling the giants. Now that he’s won a big case? The firm is still an underdog, Rudy isn’t and his ex-girlfriend is floundering. A new case is coming, but it doesn’t quite gel in this first hour.
2) “Fire Country,” 9 p.m., CBS. Last week we met a new firefighter, a Philadelphian unaccustomed to wildfires. She may learn quickly, as one builds. That’s surrounded by “Sheriff Country” (a 30-year cold case re-opened) and “Blue Bloods” (probing the attack on Detective Roberts).
3) “Line of Fire,” 8 p.m., NBC. Next week, two comedies — “Happy’s Place” and the new “Newlyweds” — will finally arrive, taking this spot. For now, there’s a quick “Fire” rerun: Clare, an FBI agent, probes a bomb threat at a wedding … until her dad, a Secret Service agent, takes over.
4) “Great Musicians of Our Time,” 10 p.m., PBS. The son of Holocaust survivors, Pinchas Zukerman was 14 when Isaac Stern discovered him in Israel. Soon, he was in New York, a violin star who won an international prize — but said he preferred chamber music, not soloing. This odd film from the 1970s catches glimpse of a master in transition.
5) Tim Burton marathon, Freeform If you had to choose a designated director for Halloween, it would be Burton. This starts with his “Sweeney Todd” (not the musical) at 11 a.m., then has the brilliant “Edward Scissorhands” at 1:40; “Dark Shadows,” 4:10; “Nightmare Before Christmas,” 6:50; and “Sleepy Hollow,” 8:30. And that’s without his “Beetlejuice” films.
