The fall TV season isn’t here for another week, but a few shows are trickling out, such as two of the better network sitcoms, “New Girl” (Fox, 9 p.m.) and “The Mindy Project” (Fox, 9:30 p.m.). On the former, the romance that carried the previous season seems to be over for good as Zoe Deschanel and Jessica Biel vie for a guy’s attention at a wedding, and the guy is Reid Scott of “Veep.” On the latter, Mindy’s romance with Danny only seems to be progressing, in its way, but they have to figure out its parameters.
Already someone has to go on “Dancing with the Stars” (ABC, 8 p.m.). It’s usually one of the septuagenarians or comedians, and Tommy Chong fills both categories. But it was the designer Betsey Johnson, with solid 5s for her cha-cha, who got the lowest judges scores by far. Smokey Robinson will also stop by, to sing a duet of “My Girl” with Aloe Blacc.
The final six acts perform in Radio City Music Hall for their last votes on a two hour “America’s Got Talent” (NBC, 9 p.m.). Which means that the each act should be about 20 minutes long. Which will not be the case.
The next celebrity with a home renovation show is one from “Beverly Hills 90210,” “The Jennie Garth Project” (HGTV, 9 p.m.). First looking to improve her living room, she is soon embarking on a full gutting of her 1970s ranch house in the Hollywood Hills.
In the special “Alan Alda and the Actor Within You: A YoungArts Masterclass” (HBO, 7:30 p.m.), the actor leads a young class in the art of improvisation.
Returning for its inexplicable third season is one of the worst shows on Comedy Central, a cartoon that brings out the worst and most childish aspects of Daniel Tosh, “Brickleberry” (Comedy Central, 10:30 p.m.). “Tosh 2.0” (Comedy Central, 10 p.m.) seems sophisticated by comparison.
“The Roosevelts: An Intimate History” (PBS, 8 and 10 p.m., check local listings) has been improving night by night because the amount of footage grows with each decade of the family’s fame. Tonight, ex-President Teddy can’t help but get back involved in politics, while Franklin is assistant secretary of the Navy and already fooling around on Eleanor. We’re not even halfway through this yet.
It’s eviction night on “Big Brother” (CBS, 8 p.m.), which has been killing “Utopia” (Fox, 8 p.m.) in face-to-face ratings.
One of the summer’s most audacious dating shows, at least among the ones with clothes, was “Married at First Sight,” which was just what it sounded like. Now, six months after their impulse betrothals, we learn how they’re doing, and hear from the experts that paired them, on “Married at First Sight: Six Months Later” (FYI, 9 p.m.).
Carter waits for the season one finale of “Finding Carter” (MTV, 10 p.m.) to reveal some secrets.
“Abby’s Studio Rescue” (Lifetime, 8 p.m.) enlists some of the characters from “Dance Moms” (Lifetime, 9 p.m.) to convince a dance studio in Shelton, Conn., that it needs to change.
G.I. Joe is the inspiration of the makeup artists on “Face Off” (Syfy, 9 p.m.).
“Kim of Queens” (Lifetime, 10 p.m.) begins a second season.
No surprise to see LA Kiss losing on “4th and Loud” (AMC, 10 p.m.).
They’re getting close to the ultimate champion on “Chopped” (Food, 10 p.m.), where celebrity chefs include Laila Ali, Brandi Chastain and Carnie Wilson.
The Tuesday night showcase of the Jewish experience in film continues on Turner Classic Movies with “Hill 24 Doesn’t Answer” (8 p.m.), “Saliah” (10 p.m.), “Sword in the Desert” (12:15 a.m.) and “Exodus” (2:15 a.m.).
Baseball tonight includes Brewers at Cardinals (ESPN, 8 p.m.). And the Triple-A championship game pits Omaha vs. Pawtucket (NBC Sports, 7 p.m.) in Charlotte, N.C.
