TV HIGHLIGHTS

Movie: Carrie, 8 PM on AMC: Stephen King’s horror tale had been remade before — for TV in 2002 — but this 2013 version adds very contemporary themes to the story of the telekinetic teenager, played here by Chloe Grace Moretz, who makes others regret being so mean to her. As usual, things reach their peak at a school prom no attendee ever will forget ... provided he or she survives it. Director Kimberly Peirce (“Boys Don’t Cry”) also casts Julianne Moore as Carrie’s possessive mother.

American Veteran, 9 PM on Ch. 16 and Ch. 48; 1 AM on Ch. 16 and Ch. 48: This new four-part docuseries, which airs weekly, explores the breadth of the Veteran Experience across U.S. history via interviews with dozens of veterans from all branches of the service. The United States is home to nearly 18 million military veterans, from the “Greatest Generation” to the men and women currently coming home from recent tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq. Drew Carey hosts the premiere, “The Crossing,” which follows new recruits as they take the oath to serve, then begin their transition from the civilian world to become soldiers, sailors, Marines and air personnel.

The Last O.G., 10 PM on TBS; 11:01 PM on TBS: The season three finale saw Tray Barker (Tracy Morgan) become the victim of a violent attack, and as Season 4 returns tonight with two new back-to-back episodes, the character experiences a personal reawakening that includes new perspectives on his community, his life goals and the challenges he confronts. Finally accepting the unpleasant reality that his world is changing, Tray realizes he must adapt to help the Brooklyn he loves. Da’Vine Joy Randolph (“People of Earth”) joins an ensemble that also includes Ryan Gaul, Taylor Mosby, Dante Hoagland and Anna Maria Horsford.
