Delayed for more than a year, the 74th Annual Tony Awards (Paramount+, streaming, 7 p.m.) has a lot of ground to cover, though Broadway went dark for most of the last 18 months. To drum up excitement for its reopening, the network edition is titled “The Tony Awards Present Broadway’s Back!” (CBS, 9 p.m.), featuring big numbers and scenes from top candidates.
The new documentary series “Nuclear Family” (HBO, 10 p.m.) is a good example on why feature documentaries shouldn’t be stretched into series (in this case three episodes). It means it takes a long time before director Ry Russo-Young gets to her premise: explaining what happened when her sperm donor father tried to assert parenthood years later.
“BMF” (Starz, 9 p.m.), the newest series from Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, is a drama about the rise of a 1980s-era Detroit crime family (or Black Mafia Family, as it says in the title). It stars Da’Vinchi and Demetrius Flenory Jr. — son of one of the brothers depicted. The other Sunday night 50 Cent series? “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” (Starz, 8 p.m.).
The longest running prime time scripted show begins its 33rd season with Kristen Bell providing Marge’s singing voice on “The Simpsons” (Fox, 8 p.m.). It runs alongside the second season premiere of “The Great North” (Fox, 8:30 p.m.), the 12th season of “Bob’s Burgers” (Fox, 9 p.m.) and the 20th season of “Family Guy” (Fox, 9:30 p.m.).
“The Rookie” (ABC, 10 p.m.) returns for its fourth season, still awaiting the completion of Angela and Wesley’s wedding.
Sunday Night Football has Green Bay at San Francisco (NBC, 8:20 p.m.). Earlier NFL includes Washington at Buffalo (Fox, 1 p.m.), Baltimore at Detroit (CBS, 1 p.m.) and Tampa Bay at Rams (Fox, 4:25 p.m.).
