Weekly Previews

1) “CMT Celebrates Our Heroes,” 8 p.m. Wednesday, CMT, rerunning at 10. Country stars were the first to switch to at-home music. When their April awards show was postponed, they filled a CBS special with songs from homes, porches, barns and beyond. Now they offer music plus tributes. The line-up includes Carrie Underwood, Thomas Rhett, Miranda Lambert, Darius Rucker, Kelsea Ballerini, Sam Hunt, Kristen Bell, Lauren Daigle, Brandi Carlisle, Lady Antebellum and (shown here in pre-distancing days) Little Big Town.

1) “Agents of SHIELD” season-opener, 10 p.m. Wednesday, ABC. In a summer devoid of new Marvel and DC movies, TV steps in. DC has the likable new “Stargirl” at 8 p.m. Tuesdays on CW; Marvel has this show’s seventh and final season. The team suddenly finds itself in 1931 New York City (shown here), with its ship ready to time-jump at any moment. It must figure out what happened, before the past, present and future face disaster. To lure us in, ABC has Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World” (2014), from 8-10 p.m. Read more…

1) “The Voice” finale, 8-10 p.m. today, 8-11 p.m. Tuesday, NBC. This year’s final five is a richly varied field. The young people are from Japan (Micah Iverson, 25), Hawaii (Thunderstorm Artis, 23) and South Carolina (CammWess, 21). And the others? Todd Tilghman – a Mississippi pastor and father of eight, some of them in this hectic screen shot – is 41; Toneisha Harris, of Georgia, is 44, resuming her career after her son recovered from leukemia. Tonight, they sing from home; performances rerun at 8 p.m. Tuesday, with the finale at 9. Read more…

1) “Asian Americans,” 8-10 p.m. today and 8-11 p.m. Tuesday, PBS. Spanning centuries, here is a richly researched story of pain and (eventually) triumph. Americans needed Chinese workers to build the Transcontinental Railroad in the 1860s, then hit them with the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882. In the 1940s, they sent 120,000 Japanese (the majority of them U.S. citizens) to internment camps. These stories are told vividly Monday. Tuesday includes triumphs and the rise of activist movements (shown here). Read more…

1) “American Experience: George W. Bush,” 9-11 p.m. today and Tuesday, PBS. Here is a beautifully balanced and detailed look at a surprisingly complex man. We see a young people-person, a college cheerleader with lots of friends and alcohol. After a heavy-drinking 40th birthday, he transformed. He was governor at 48, president (shown here) at 54. In Iraq, he soared with a military victory, sank with an agonizing peace, revived with a “surge” offensive. Hurricane Katrina and Wall Street also dealt fierce blows. Read more…

1) “Council of Dads” return, 9 p.m. Thursday, NBC. The debut saw a cancer-stricken dad ask three friends to help his kids if he died; he did. That aired after the “This Is Us” season-finale, which had similar warmth and passion; it reruns at 8 p.m., leading to the second episode, another good one. One “dad” tries too hard, another doesn’t try hard enough, the third feels guilty. Also, the eldest daughter (shown here) has married and plans to move to New York City. Stick around, there’s a sharp plot twist at the end. Read more…

1) “Let’s Go Crazy: The Grammy Salute to Prince,” 9-11 p.m. Tuesday, CBS. Yes, the at-home specials have been welcome. Still, here’s what we haven’t had lately – all-out, rock spectacle. Taped Jan. 26 in Los Angeles, this was stuffed with stars – Alicia Keys, Common (shown here), John Legend, Chris Martin, H.E.R., Beck. Usher, Juanes, Mavis Staples, Susanna Hoffs and Gary Clark Jr., plus the Foo Fighters and Earth, Wind & Fire. Performing together are Prince’s old colleagues – Sheila E, Morris Day, Time and Revolution. Read more…

1) “Baker and the Beauty” debut, 10 p.m. today, ABC. Viewers know the plot: A young Cinderella type – sweet-spirited, attractive, with modest means – meets a handsome prince or mogul or such. But now the genders switch: Daniel (Victor Rasuk) is in a hard-working Miami family that has a bakery; Noa (Nathalie Kelley, who was Cristal in the first year of the “Dynasty” reboot) is a Kardashian-type pop-culture star. They meet by (shown here) in an opener that’s beautifully filmed and charmingly played. Read more…

1) “Modern Family” (shown here) series finale, 9 and 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, ABC, with an overview at 8. One of TV’s great shows departs after 11 seasons and 22 Emmys, including five for best comedy. The finale finds Mitchell and Cam settling into their lives – a new house and a new baby they’ve adopted … just as they adopted Lily, 11 years earlier. Meanwhile, Phil and Claire decide that one of the kids must move out. Also, Gloria is successful at work, but frets that her husband and son don’t really need her. Read more…

1) “Hawaii Five-0” (shown here) series-finale, 9 p.m. Friday, CBS. This has been almost eternal – 12 years in the original series, 10 more for this reboot. Now it closes with flashbacks that include three deceased people – Steve McGarrett’s father, the man who killed him (Victor Hesse) and the man who ordered it (Wo Fat). There’s more: McGarrett finally solves the case that his father left him. Also, Wo Fat’s widow – desperate to get the coded message sent by McGarrett’s late mother – has kidnapped Danny. Read more…
