At a time when “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” has been revived, here’s a look at the British mania over the game show that led to a huge cheating scandal in the entertaining three-part limited series “Quiz” (AMC, 10 p.m.). Embodying this captivating episode that isn’t well remembered in the U.S. (since it happened right around 9/11) are two favorites from cable hits — Matthew Macfayden of “Succession” and Sian Clifford of “Fleabag.” And playing the host of the game show is a a barely recognizable Michael Sheen.
The new two part documentary “Laurel Canyon” (Epix, 9 p.m.) further excavates the musical history of the Los Angeles enclave that produced a lot of great music in the late 60s. Like Jakob Dylan’s film last year, this one begins with the Byrds, but makes room for women like Joni Mitchell and groups like Love and the Monkees. There’s still not much about Zappa, though, except that he signed Alice Cooper. The length (the two hour conclusion is next Sunday) means some extended music from Buffalo Springfield and others.
The series comes on a night when new seasons start for some other game shows, “Celebrity Family Feud” (ABC, 8 p.m.), hosted by Steve Harvey; “Press Your Luck” (ABC, 9 p.m.) hosted by Elizabeth Banks, and “Match Game” (ABC, 10 p.m.), hosted by Alec Baldwin.
