The latest network reboot digs back nearly 40 years to the mid-80s with a revived “Night Court” (NBC, 8 p.m.). This time it’s the popular Melissa Rauch of “Big Bang Theory” presiding, as she plays the daughter of the show’s original judge Harry Stone, once played by Harry Anderson. A long line of offenders appear before her, for comic effect, but it’s crucial that the even more dour John Larroquette returns in his character as Dan Fielding, this time a public defender rather than prosecutor.
The life of Zola Neale Hurston, author of “Their Eyes Were Watching God” but also a scientist, is the subject of a new “American Experience” (PBS, 9 p.m., check local listings).

A similar town hall in Spanish, “Foro contra el Racismo: Día de Sanción” (Telemundo, 7 p.m..) is hosted by Johana Suárez and Lori Montenegro.
Following Trevor Noah’s departure, “The Daily Show” (Comedy Central, 11 p.m.) begins slotting in guest hosts for a few weeks. First up: Leslie Jones.
