“History Detectives” (7 p.m., WKNO-TV Channel 10; WMAV-TV Channel 18) returns with a Western theme. After buying a Kit Carson biography for cheap, Charles Burns discovers some papers hidden between the covers that could be linked to the frontiersman’s family. Another investigation explores some secrets behind the lyrics to the popular song “Tumbling Tumbleweeds,” a 1930s cowboy number composed by Bob Nolan, popularized by The Sons of the Pioneers in 1946 and reintroduced to listeners in 1998 as part of the soundtrack to “The Big Lebowski.”
The modern- day Western “Justified” (9 p.m., FX) ends its fourth season as Raylan has a showdown with the Detroit mob while Boyd and Ava struggle to keep a secret well hidden.
David and Bryan want to make it legal on the twopart season finale of “The New Normal” (8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., WMC-TV Channel 5). Chances seem slim that this sitcom will return next season.
The 2009 documen- “The Agony and the Ecstasy of Phil Spector” examines the life and career of the acclaimed music producer turned convicted murderer. tary “The Agony and the Ecstasy of Phil Spector” (8 p.m., BBC America) examines the life and career of the acclaimed music producer from the time Tom Wolfe described him as “The First Tycoon of Teen” to his days as the accused murderer of actress Lana Clarkson, a period explored in the recent HBO movie “Phil Spector.”
Baseball season is upon us, and so are repeats of the 1984 sports fantasy “The Natural” (7 p.m., Reelz), starring Robert Redford and directed by Barry Levinson. “The Natural” is based on a story by Bernard Malamud that was in turn inspired by the real story of Phillies star Eddie Waitkus, who was shot by a delusional female fan. His assailant, Ruth Ann Steinhagen, died last December, but this remained unmentioned in the press until last month.
