‘MASTERPIECE CONTEMPORARY: PAGE EIGHT’
SUNDAY
’ello, guv’nor, fancy a bit of spy versus spy, do ya? Say no more. Rachel Weisz and Bill Nighy, above, star in “Page Eight,” a veddy British and oh-so-droll espionage thriller from across the pond, airing on “Masterpiece Contemporary.” (KOCE, 9 p.m.)
He’s been workin’ on the railroad, all the livelong day. He’s been workin’ on the railroad, just to track down and kill the Union soldiers who murdered his wife during the Civil War in the new period drama “Hell on Wheels.” Anson Mount stars. (AMC, 10 p.m.)
MONDAY
“The Witch Doctor Will See You Now” is either the worst healthcare plan ever or a new docu-series in which host Piers Gibbon travels around the world to test the efficacy of traditional medicine and folk remedies. (National Geographic, 7 and 10 p.m.)
TUESDAY
What happens when children with autism grow up and graduate from the programs designed to help them deal with that increasingly diagnosed developmental disorder? Answers are offered in the special “Autism: Coming of Age.” (KCET, 8 and 9:30 p.m.)
WEDNESDAY
A cavalcade of country music stars — including Kenny Chesney, Faith Hill, Miranda Lambert, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban and Lionel Richie(?!) — will be on hand for “The 45th Annual CMA Awards.” Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood host. (ABC, 8 p.m.)
THURSDAY
Thespis, what hath ye wrought? For one thing, this ancient Greek, acclaimed as the very first actor, begat “Thespians,” such as the high school drama students shown competing at a prestigious theater festival in this new documentary. (Showtime, 7:30 p.m.)
FRIDAY
So this summer’s big-screen comic-book adaptation starring Ryan Reynolds didn’t exactly light up the box office. Perhaps “Green Lantern: The Animated Series” can deliver all the superhero thrills your little nerd heart desires. (Cartoon Network, 7 p.m.)
SATURDAY
Revenge is a dish best served “Faster,” and Dwayne “the wrestler formerly known as the Rock” Johnson, below, gets his in this lean-and-mean 2010 thriller in the tradition of “Payback” and “Point Blank.” Billy Bob Thornton also stars. (Showtime, 10 p.m.)
‘FASTER’
