This week’s TV Movies

The gang’s all here: The dapper Don Draper (Jon Hamm, below), plucky Peggy, sneaky Pete, pretty Betty, juicy Joan and all of your “Mad Men” favorites are back when the stylish 1960s-set drama finally — finally — returns for its fifth season.

(AMC, 9 and 11 p.m.)

If ever a media mogul there was, the mogul from Oz is one because … well, perhaps because of some less-than-wonderful things he does. Scandal-plagued Australian-born billionaire Rupert Murdoch is profiled on a new

“Frontline.” (KOCE, 10 p.m.)

(KOCE, 10 p.m.)

THURSDAY

With his latest gig on “Two and a Half Men,” Ashton Kutcher must be too busy to emcee new episodes of “Punk’d” himself. But he’s lined up a slew of celebs to serve as guest hosts when his hidden-camera show returns after a five-year layoff. (MTV, 10 p.m.)

FRIDAY

In a world he never made: There is only one man who can bring “True Justice” to the mean streets of Seattle, and his name is … Steven Seagal. The onetime big-screen action hero and sometime reality-TV star is back in this new cop drama.

(Reelz, 6 and 7 p.m.)

SATURDAY

If you’re gonna lose an Oscar, might as well be to a comedy legend. “Bridesmaids” co-star Kristen Wiig, below right, with Maya Rudolph, received a nomination for co-writing that off-color 2011 comedy, but it was Woody Allen who took home the original screenplay prize for his 2011 fantasy “Midnight in Paris.” (HBO, 8 p.m.; Starz, 9 p.m.)
