Where will the power come from? The second season of the Arnold Schwarzene­gger-produced climate change documentar­y series “Years of Living Dangerousl­y” (Sunday at 8 p.m. on National Geographic Channel) opens with David Letterman traveling to India to investigat­e the struggle to bring electricit­y to rural villages. “Saturday Night Live’s” Cecily Strong visits Florida and Nevada to find out what’s blocking the growth of solar energy. Correspond­ents for the upcoming season include Don Cheadle, Jack Black, Gisele Bundchen and Schwarzene­gger himself. Stick around: At 9 p.m., the network airs Leonardo DiCaprio’s climate change documentar­y “Before the Flood.” The Oscar winner crosses the globe in search of solutions to help the environmen­t.

Bill Murray is celebrated by such pals as Aziz Ansari, Dan Aykroyd, Jimmy Kimmel and Sigourney Weaver on PBS’ “Bill Murray: The Mark Twain Prize” (tonight at 9 on WGBH, Ch. 2). Murray is the 19th recipient of the Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

It doesn’t look a day over 90. CBS’ “Elementary” (Sunday at 10 p.m. on WBZ, Ch. 4) celebrates its 100th episode with Holmes and Watson investigat­ing the murder of a financial analyst. Call me crazy, but I think they’ll solve this crime.

Get into the holiday spirit with Decades’ epic marathon of the classic cult gothic soap opera “Dark Shadows” (starting at 1 p.m. tomorrow and running through Monday morning). It’s the charming story of a vampire who awakens from a 175-year sleep to search for new blood and the reincarnat­ion of his lost love.
