The great, untold story of Native American pioneers of rock ‘n’ roll should be shown to every misguided MAGA-hat wearing student at Covington Catholic High School. “Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World,” making its debut on “Independent Lens” (PBS, 10 p.m., check local listings) is named after the signature song of guitarist Link Wray and includes contributions from artists from Charley Patton to Jimi Hendrix and Jesse Ed Davis. Robbie Robertson narrates.

Instead of Omarosa, the ex-Trump representation is from Anthony Scaramucci, who usually never stops talking (and never listens). Others include disgraced Olympian swimmer Ryan Lochte, who made up a story about a robbery in Brazil, and O.J. Simpson case nonentity Kato Kaelin and Lindsay Lohan’s mother Dina Lohan. There are minor TV actors Joey Lawrence and Jonathan Bennett, former WWE wrestler Natalie Eva Marie, ex-NFL player Ricky Williams; reality stars Tamar Braxton and Kandi Burruss; that weird Canadian comic Tom Green, and Olympian Lolo Jones. And while her husband has been cut from the corporate office, Julie Chen continues on as host. Additional episodes this week air Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. “Big Brother After Dark” begins running late Tuesday night on Pop. The whole thing will be over by Feb. 13.
