What to watch this week
More News
MONDAY
“The Jay Leno Show” (9 p.m., KSHB). Perhaps you heard about a slight change to NBC’s schedule this fall. As I wrote in my fall preview two weeks ago, “There will be higher-rated and higher-profile new shows this season. But none stands to have a greater impact.” Leno welcomes Jerry Seinfeld to the first show in his new, earlier time slot every weekday.
If you’d rather have fewer laughs and more music at night, England’s best live-music showcase, “Later With Jools Holland,” has started airing at 6 p.m. and 1 a.m. weeknights on Ovation (digital cable).
THURSDAY
“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” (9 p.m., FX) returns with Dee (Kaitlin Olson) planning to become pregnant for money, while Frank (Danny DeVito) schemes to get rich off the cratering mortgage market by buying a foreclosure. What could possibly go wrong with either of these?
FRIDAY
“Crash” (9 p.m., Starz) returns for a second season somewhat retooled from the first, which got initial favorable notices but quickly fell out of the crosshairs of most critics and viewers. Dennis Hopper still holds center stage as the addiction-crazed music producer Ben Cendars, but look for support from the likes of Keith Carradine and Peggy Lipton, grown-up flower children who knew Ben way back when.
SATURDAY
“Georgia O’Keeffe” (8 p.m., Lifetime) marks a substantial upgrade in the usual women’s-channel movie fare, as Joan Allen plays the fabled painter of the Southwest and Jeremy Irons plays her estranged husband turned stalker — just kidding! Irons plays her husband, photographer Alfred Stieglitz, though if you know anything about this relationship, you can see why Lifetime went with it.
