The police are at Riley’s house as the second season starts for “The Client List” (Lifetime, 10 p.m.). So maybe the season won’t last too long for Jennifer Love Hewitt about a mom who turns trick at the massage parlor to help her household income.
Actually lots of things happen in the season premiere that may change the show, which is paced as a soap opera, except with the occasional blue joke (and next to no sex).

And if you wanted to sit through last week’s premiere you’d be tuning in at 7 and watching four hours!

Stars from all different sports are considered to determine the best one overall on “ESPN Sport Science: Greatest Athlete of All Time” (ESPN, 3:30 p.m.), hosted by John Brenkus.
“CMT News Presents: Mindy McCready Fallen Angel” (CMT, 8 p.m.) recounts the troubled life of the late country star.
A happier story is told in the series “Song by Song: Dolly Parton” (Ovation, 8 p.m.), the series that tells a biography through the best known songs, a process first used on Johnny Cash. Parton’s tale begins with her biggest songs, “I Will Always Love You” and “9 to 5.”
The special “Myth, Lies and Complete Stupidity” (Fox News, 8 p.m.) indicates that the network may just now be starting to accurately title its product.
