TV Notes: Not quite the end of ‘Revolution’

Chuck Barney Mcclatchy-Tribune

Don’t miss

“REVOLUTION” FINALE – It’s lights-out for Season 1 of this intense post-apocalyptic drama – one of the few new shows to make a strong impression on viewers. As the rebels infiltrate the Tower, fans may be on the edge of their seats wondering if the world is coming to an end. Of course not: The show has been renewed for a second season. 10:01 p.m. Monday, NBC.

Other bets

SUNDAY: “The Killing” just refuses to die. After AMC canceled it last year, the network reversed course and brought the moody crime show back for a third season and brand new case. Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman return in the lead roles. 8 p.m., AMC.

SUNDAY: Don’t snicker. “Top Hooker” isn’t what you think it is. It’s a new reality series about fishing, which, according to the title of Episode 1, really is “The Oldest Profession.” 10 p.m., Animal Planet.

SUNDAY: “Princesses: Long Island” is a new reality series that focuses on six college-educated young women who live pampered lifestyles in the comfort of their parents’ posh homes. And for that, they get their own show? 9 p.m., Bravo.

MONDAY: Will “Mistresses” be our new summer crush – or a silly, sudsy dud? It’s a drama about the “scandalous lives of a sexy and sassy group of four girlfriends,” each on her own path to self-discovery. Alyssa Milano, Yunjin Kim, Rochelle Aytes and Jes Macallan star. 10:01 p.m., ABC.

TUESDAY: Supermodel Heidi Klum and former Spice Girl Mel B join the judges panel for Season 8 of “America’s Got Talent.” Their first assignment: Separate the kooks from the legitimate contenders. 9:01 p.m., NBC.

WEDNESDAY: Jason Aldean and Kristen Bell are our hosts for the “CMT Music Awards 2013,” in which winners are chosen by the fans. Among the scheduled performers: The Pistol Annies, Hunter Hayes, Little Big Town, Luke Bryan and Taylor Swift. 8 p.m., CMT.

THURSDAY: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson takes a break from pummeling bad guys to host “The Hero.” It’s an amped-up reality competition series that puts contestants through extreme challenges to test their mental and physical fortitude. 8 p.m., TNT.

THURSDAY: Daniel Sunjata of “Rescue Me” fame exchanges his fire hose for a gun in “Graceland.” It’s about undercover agents living in a beachfront California home, not Elvis’ estate. Go figure. 10 p.m., USA.

FRIDAY: The stealthy operatives of “Mystery Diners” head to a seafood eatery in New Orleans, where the manager is an aspiring comedian, but the antics of another employee prove to be no laughing matter. 10 p.m., Food Network.

SATURDAY: The best thing we can say about the new adventure series “Primeval: New World” is that it contains dinosaurs. Lots of them! Maybe they will help to divert attention from the bad plot. 10 p.m., Syfy.
