Around the remote: Kimmel hosts 68th Emmys
DON’T MISS: The 68th Emmy Awards – Jimmy Kimmel is our host for TV’s biggest bash – a time when the industry celebrates its “art” while conveniently overlooking the fact that it subjected us to clunkers like “Heroes Reborn.” It’s always tough to predict the whims of Emmy, but it’s a pretty safe bet that the night will feature several wins for “The People v. O.J. Simpson” and at least a couple of long-winded acceptance speeches that will put us on edge. 5 p.m. Sunday, ABC.
Other bets
SUNDAY: True crime is like catnip to TV programmers these days. Now comes “The Case Of: JonBenet Ramsey.” It’s a six-hour two-part documentary series that has a “dream team” of investigators uniting to re-examine one of the most puzzling unsolved murders in recent history. 8 p.m., CBS.
MONDAY: As “Gotham” returns with new episodes, Gordon (Ben McKenzie) is working as a bounty hunter while seeking to find answers about the Indian Hill escapees. Elsewhere, Bruce’s (David Mazouz) doppelganger roams the streets. 8 p.m., Fox.
MONDAY: Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys join Adam Levine and Blake Shelton in the spinning red chairs as “The Voice” launches its 11th season. Together, maybe they’ll finally discover a breakout star. 8 p.m., NBC.
MONDAY: “The Good Place” is an offbeat new comedy that gets a two-episode preview tonight. It stars Kristen Bell as a selfish, potty-mouthed woman who, upon dying, winds up in a heaven-like realm by accident. Ted Danson is there to guide her. 10 p.m., NBC.
TUESDAY: Michael Weatherly may have departed “NCIS,” but TV’s most popular drama moves on with a couple of new faces. Wilmer Valderrama and Jennifer Esposito join the show for its 14th season. 8 p.m., CBS.
TUESDAY: The shrieks come out at night as “Scream Queens” kicks off Season 2. The comedic thriller jumps ahead three years and shifts its sights to a hospital where a masked killer is on the loose. John Stamos and Tyler Lautner join the cast. 9 p.m., Fox.
WEDNESDAY: “Survivor,” the granddaddy of network reality shows, chugs into its 33rd season. The theme this time has Gen-Xers facing off against Millennials in Fiji. 8 p.m., CBS.
WEDNESDAY: Season 3 of “Empire” picks up exactly where we left off, with Anika (Grace Byers) and Rhonda (Kaitlin Doubleday) brawling on the roof. So which one of them took a plunge? 9 p.m., Fox.
THURSDAY: In the Season 13 opener of “Grey’s Anatomy,” one of Grey Sloan Memorial’s own lands in the hospital. Bailey (Chandra Wilson) tries to figure out what happened while the rest of the doctors jump in to help. 8 p.m., ABC.
FRIDAY: Reboots and remakes are all the rage these days, so it should surprise no one that “MacGyver” is back. Lucas Till takes on the resourceful character who can wriggle out of a jam with little more than some bubble gum and a paper clip. 8 p.m., CBS.
SATURDAY: “Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee,” is a compelling documentary about the computer antivirus software tycoon who relocated to a jungle compound in Belize, where his increasingly bizarre behavior led to allegations of murder and other crimes that were never prosecuted. 9 p.m., Showtime.
