TONIGHT’S BEST

-

Supermarke­t Sweep

6 p.m. on (84); 9 p.m. on (69)

“Saturday Night Live” alumna Leslie Jones is both host and executive producer of this classic, fastpaced game show in which each episode features three teams of two battling it out to prove their supermarke­t skills and general knowledge of merchandis­e to win big cash prizes. The team that manages to rack up the biggest grocery bill during their timed race around the store can win $100,000. Jones says she has an emotional stake in the game: She unsuccessf­ully auditioned to be a contestant on an earlier version of the show.

Who Wants to Be a Millionair­e

7 p.m. on (84); 10 p.m. on (69)

Actress Tiffany Haddish is in the hot seat as this game show reboot returns for Season 2. In addition to “regular” contestant­s, this season also features celebritie­s like Haddish playing for a favorite charity. Along with the familiar lifelines, “Ask the Host,” “50/50” and “Phone a Friend,” contestant­s now may invite an expert guest to help them answer questions. Tonight’s other contestant, firefighte­r Oliver Fry, tries his luck at climbing to the $1 million prize.

The Trouble With Maggie Cole

8 p.m. on (14)

Beloved British comedy actress Dawn French (“The Vicar of Dibley”) returns to series television in this new dramedy set in Thurlbury, a quaint coastal village. As the show opens, shop owner and busybody Maggie Cole (French), who presents herself as a local historian, stirs up life in the village during a tipsy interview on a radio show, when she makes some indiscreet revelation­s about several of her neighbors. Mark Heap, Julie Hesmondhal­gh and Vicki Pepperdine also star.
