SUNDAY
What do fashion’s Tom Ford, pop music’s will.i.am, “Avatar’s” James Cameron and “Tyler Perry’s” Tyler Perry all have in common? They’re among the artistic types featured in the new series “Visionaries: Inside the Creative Mind.” (OWN, 8 p.m.)
Turner Field, Coca-Cola headquarters, zombies — yes, Atlanta has it all. Zombies?! Aargh!!! That must be why our band of survivors is so desperate to get the hell out of town on the return of last fall’s surprise hit “The Walking Dead.” (AMC, 9 p.m.)
MONDAY
Voices carry: Country music’s Martina McBride (above) performs an intimate show for her fans on a new “Invitation Only,” and singer-actor-activist Harry Belafonte is profiled in the new documentary “Sing Your Song.” (CMT, 10 p.m.; HBO, 10 p.m.)
TUESDAY
“Scream Awards 2011” is not an invitation to yell “Awards 2011!” at the top of your lungs but rather the latest edition of the ceremony saluting the best in horror, sci-fi and fantasy. Nicolas Cage, Robert Downey Jr. and the “Harry Potter” films receive special honors. (Spike, 9 p.m.)
WEDNESDAY
Football’s up and running, basketball’s still up in the air, and baseball’s all over but the “2011 World Series.” At press time, it’ll be the Detroit Tigers or the Texas Rangers versus the St. Louis Cardinals or the Milwaukee Brewers in the Fall Classic. (Fox, 4:30 p.m.)
THURSDAY
You’ve come a long way, baby… but you’re not there yet: Power players like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice discuss the media’s portrayal of women leaders in the documentary “Miss Representation.” (OWN, 9 p.m.)
FRIDAY
Meet the new “Boss.” Kelsey Grammer (below) plays a Chicago mayor — whose moral compass points more toward “The Simpsons’” villainous Sideshow Bob than to pompous radio shrink Frasier Crane — in this new drama. With Connie Nielsen. (Starz, 10 p.m.)
SATURDAY
Not too scary for children: The new made-for-cable movie “Oliver’s Ghost.” Too scary for children: The R-rated 2010 preteen-vampire fable “Let Me In” starring Chloë Grace Moretz. (Hallmark, 9 and 11 p.m.; Starz, 9 p.m.)
