TV HIGHLIGHTS

Celebrity Escape Room, 8 PM on Ch. 2 and Ch. 5: Kicking off a full night of programming devoted to Red Nose Day, an annual fundraising event to end child poverty, this new one-hour special taps into a current pop culture party phenomenon, in which a group of people work together to successfully escape from a locked room. Host Jack Black “traps” guests Ben Stiller, Adam Scott and former “Friends” co-stars Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow in a series of surprising puzzle rooms. Immediately following, the two-hour “Red Nose Day Special” features an all-star cast doing their bit for the cause.

Burden of Truth, 8 PM on Ch. 26: Season 3 of this legal drama, which opens a year after the events of Season 2, finds Joanna Chang (Kristin Kreuk) and Billy Crawford (Peter Mooney) working together in Crawford Chang, their boutique law firm. While she’s back home in Millwood for a class reunion, Joanna is approached by an old friend, Kodie Chartrand (Sera-Lys McArthur), who desperately needs her help: Kodie’s children have been removed from her home by the local family services department, the result of a dark conspiracy, she claims.

To Tell the Truth, 10 PM on Ch. 22 and Ch. 9: Host Anthony Anderson (“blackish”) returns for the Season 5 premiere of this witty reimagining of a vintage game show from the golden age of television. In each round, the celebrity panel will confront three people, all of whom claim to be the same person with some incredible talent, job or achievement. One of them is sworn to tell the truth, but the other two use every trick they can to deceive the panel as to which of them is the truth-teller. Mother Doris, Anderson’s real-life mom, also appears.
