TV TOP PICKS

7 p.m. on CBS NCIS

Season 16 of this venerable procedural premieres with “Destiny’s Child,” which picks up the action a month after the kidnapping of NCIS Director Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll). With his boss’ whereabouts and fate unknown, Gibbs (Mark Harmon) is tapped to fill the role of acting director, while McGee, Bishop, Torres (Sean Murray, Emily Wickersham, Wilmer Valderrama) and the rest of his team conduct a frantic worldwide search.

8 p.m. on FOX Lethal Weapon

Murtaugh (Damon Wayans) gets a new partner in former CIA operative Wesley Cole (new series regular Seann William Scott) as this hit police drama returns for Season 3. The erstwhile agent returns from abroad to start his new duties with the Los Angeles Police Department, but in his own way, Cole is just as much a fish out of water as Murtaugh’s previous partner in the season premiere “In the Same Boat.”

8 p.m. on PBS The Mayo Clinic: Faith — Hope — Science

Ken Burns is an executive producer and director on this new two-hour documentary, which chronicles the history of the storied Minnesota medical facility that grew out of the private 19th-century medical practice of William Worrall Mayo, an English immigrant. Blending an account of the hospital’s history with contemporary patient stories, the film explores how this facility has adapted to the changing demands of health care for 150 years. Tom Hanks, Sam Waterston, Blythe Danner and Josh Lucas lend their voices to the narration.

8 p.m. on CBS FBI

CBS certainly knows how to do crime procedurals, as does Law & Order mentor Dick Wolf, so this new teaming seems like a match made in series heaven. L&O veteran Jeremy Sisto and Rookie Blue alum Missy Peregrym return to ... well, law and order as New York-based federal agents trying to protect a city and country facing modern threats from every angle. Interestingly, this was conceived as an L&O spinoff series, but NBC passed on it. Sela Ward joins the show in Episode 2.

9 p.m. on NBC New Amsterdam

Just because an actor is “killed off” a show doesn’t mean he can’t resurface in another, as The Blacklist alum Ryan Eggold, pictured, proves by assuming the lead in this new drama. He plays the medical director of the title hospital — based on the famous Bellevue facility — and as he assumes the job, he challenges conventional thinking about delivering the best-possible patient care despite gaps in staffing and funding. Co-stars include Freema Agyeman, Janet Montgomery and Tyler Labine.
