1) Dolly Parton tribute, 9-11 p.m., ABC. There have been lots of tributes since Parton (shown here) died Aug. 25, at 80. But this is a huge one, organized by the Country Music Association. It has the Dolly-ish divas, older (Reba McEntire, Carrie Underwood) and newer (Ella Langley, Lainey Wilson). It also has Brad Paisley, Kelsea Ballerini, Vince Gill and more.
2) “Secrets of the Dead,” 10 p.m., PBS. Next Wednesday, the Statue of Liberty turns 140; first, here’s a fascinating portrait of its creation: Frederic Bartholdi had spent a decade sculpting a 150-foot colossus; now it waited in 20 crates in a French warehouse: Americans hadn’t built the pedestal. Then a newspaper’s fundraiser rescued the project.
3) More documentaries, PBS. At 8 p.m., “Nature” starts its two-week “Tiger Island”; using drones and heat-image cameras, scientists study a Nepal island full of tigers. And at 9, “Nova” has the second part of its four-week “Evolution,” This hour looks at how food and eating have evolved.
4) “Chicago P.D.,” 10 p.m., NBC. This dead-serious show becomes even more so: There’s a gruesome discovery; also, Voight is skeptical of Charlie’s motives. Earlier, “Chicago Med” (8 p.m.) includes help for a woman who’s pregnant and homeless; “Chicago Fire” (9) sees a firefighter hospitalized.
5) Baseball films, Turner Classic Movies. Two days before the World Series, TCM has vintage films. It includes serious portraits of Lou Gehrig (1942, 11:45 a.m. ET) and Jackie Robinson (1950, 8 p.m.), plus fun with Bugs Bunny (7:50 p.m.) and the “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” musical (1949, 6 p.m.), with Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly and Esther Williams.
