TV Top Picks This Week
Don’t Miss: “America’s Got Talent” — The summer’s hottest reality series returns for its 12th season and, as usual, you never really know what you’re going to see up on that stage (a pianoplaying chicken?).

The charismatic former model will usher us through all the stupendous — and ridiculous — acts as judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Mel B and Howie Mandel render their verdicts. 8 p.m. Tuesday, NBC.
