Trouble is that the old school show originator (Paul Reiser) is also on board. 

The inside-the-industry jokes mix easily with broader humor and a dash of sentiment. It’s a fun new show with a lot of smart commentary on where TV is going. Three episodes are available today; the rest of the eight-episode season will come on subsequent Tuesdays.

People say the FBI is out of control, and that’s certainly true in terms of TV shows, with all three of the Dick Wolf franchises “FBI” (CBS, 8 p.m.), “FBI International” (CBS, 9 p.m.) and “FBI: Most Wanted” (CBS, 10 p.m.) returning on the same night; the first for its fifth season, the second for its second, the third for its fourth.

“The Bachelorette” (ABC, 8 p.m.) comes to an end with at least one of the two bachelorettes still around to make a decision. But is it a law that there must be an engagement at the show’s end? It will be excruciating enough by clocking in at three hours.

His fourth stand up comedy special for the streaming service, “Patton Oswalt: We All Scream” (Netflix, streaming), was shot in Denver.

The State Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, 4 a.m.) is a big historic event, of interest for the amount of world leaders (and security) who will attend, as long with the usual pageantry and inane TV commentary. Many networks will be live until at least noon. PBS is repeating the whole thing at prime time (and bumping Ken Burns’ second installment of “The U.S. and the Holocaust” to tomorrow). More context on “Queen Elizabeth II: A Royal Life” (National Geographic, 8 p.m.) and “Being the Queen” (National Geographic, 10 p.m.). Elton John not expected to sing.

“Quantum Leap” (NBC, 10 p.m.) was always a series that jumps back in time. So NBC does the same, jumping back to the series from the late 80s and early 90s and placing it in a contemporary setting — though the new team led by Raymond Lee and Ernie Hudson, travels immediately back to 1985.

The new season is in many ways back on network TV so here’s the 20th season premiere of “NCIS” (CBS, 9 pm.), in a crossover episode with its last remaining spinoff, “NCIS: Hawai’i” (CBS, 10 p.m.), for its second season premiere.

Participants this time around include Cheryl Ladd, Jordin Sparks, Selma Blair, Wayne Brady, Teresa Giudice and Vinny Guadagnino, among lesser lights who don’t ring the faintest bell.

Though his projects take years to make, Ken Burns says he’s always confident that they’ll be “echoing in the present” upon their release. So it will be with the three- part “The U.S. and the Holocaust” (PBS, 8 p.m., check local listings) that begins tonight and continues Tuesday and Wednesday (it was originally going to air Monday and Tuesday, but will be bumped by planned coverage of the Queen’s funeral Monday).

The series, which Burns made with Lynn Novice and Sarah Botstein, takes a hard look at the United States’ shaky response to the Holocaust and its victims and will be “resonating in a very fraught and very fragile present moment,” Burns says. Tonight’s first chapter looks at hardline immigration laws implemented as Hitler began his repression.

Richard Engel’s new report, “Remembering Queen Elizabeth II: The Constant Queen” (MSNBC, 10 p.m.), runs opposite another Saturday night repeat of the 2020 series “The Windsors: Inside the Royal Dynasty” (CNN, 9 p.m.). 

In the made-for-TV romance “Wedding of a Lifetime” (Hallmark, 8 p.m.), an engaged couple hope to rekindle their flame by entering a national contest for an all-expenses paid ceremony. Brooke D’Orsay and Jonathan Bennett star.

“Masters of Illusion” (CW, 9 p.m.) has its eighth season finale.

Because crime doesn’t stop, neither do series who report on them. Hence, “48 Hours” (CBS, 10 p.m.) returns for its 35th (!) season.

Vince Gill is feted by fellow performers on “CMT Giants” (CMT, 9 p.m.).
