With the new comedy “Atlanta” (9 p.m., FX), Donald Glover (“Community”) gets his own show and a whole city to call his own. He stars as Earnest, a young man trying to improve his lot in life by managing the rap talents of his cousin, Alfred (Brian Tyree Henry), who performs under the name “Paper Boi.” The fact that Alfred does not want or think he needs Earnest’s help is just the beginning of this rather loosely structured look at a music scene and a particular slice of life in Georgia’s big city.

At its best, “Atlanta” features quotably cracked dialogue and narrative misdirecti­on that make movies like “Pulp Fiction” so memorable. Gritty realism and the pervading presence of potential violence give way to intimate comedic moments that, in turn, evaporate into dreamlike reverie. It’s clear that the makers of “Atlanta” don’t want you to think of it as just another television comedy.

Crackle, the Sonyowned ad-supported streaming service best known for Jerry Seinfeld’s “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” launches “StartUp.” This ambitious new series stars Martin Freeman (“Fargo,” “Sherlock,” “The Office”) as a less-than-straight-arrow FBI agent out to infiltrate a band of tech innovators trying to revolution­ize the world of digital currency.

Dear Reader: To help answer your question, I turned to my colleague Dr. Uma Naidoo. She is a psychiatri­st at Harvardaff­iliated Massachuse­tts General Hospital and a profession­al chef. She noted that the relationsh­ip between food, mood and anxiety is garnering more and more attention.

When thinking about dietary strategies to help relieve anxiety, start with the basics: a balanced diet, drinking enough water, and limiting or avoiding alcohol and caffeine.

Many other dietary considerat­ions can also help relieve anxiety. For example, complex carbohydra­tes are metabolize­d more slowly and therefore help maintain a more even blood sugar level.

Why is that important? When blood sugar levels swing from high to low, the heart begins to beat Unfortunat­ely for them, their seed money comes from Miami’s drug and gang underworld. Despite its techie title, “StartUp” is closer to “Narcos” than “The Social Network.”

“9/11 Inside the Pentagon” (7 p.m., WKNO-TV Channel 10) recalls the day of terror that killed 184.

One survivor can still barely compose herself as she recalls her departure for a staff meeting that spared her and left her colleague to die. An intelligen­ce officer working that day in the massive building remembers hearing about a rogue aircraft bound for Washington and realizing that, from the point of view of a jet traveling 500 mph, the Pentagon made the biggest and most potent target. It took less than five minutes for him to realize that he had been correct.

TCM dedicates Tuesday and Wednesday nights in September to slapstick comedies. Pratfalls begin with “The Golden Age of Comedy” (7 p.m.), a 1957 compilatio­n of silent comedy scenes and shorts. Tuesday, Sept. 27, will include “Young Frankenste­in” and “The Frisco Kid,” two comedies starring Gene Wilder, who died on Aug. 29.

One football documentar­y series concludes as another begins. The guys featured on “Hard Knocks: Training Camp With the Los Angeles Rams” (9 p.m., HBO) depart to play out their NFL season. “A Season With Florida State Football” (9 p.m., Showtime) begins with coach Jimbo Fisher and the Florida State Seminoles preparing for a game against the Ole Miss Rebels.

TV-themed DVDs available today include “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story” and “Star Trek: 50th Anniversar­y TV and Movie Collection.”

TONIGHT’S SEASON FINALES

“Bachelor in Paradise” (7 p.m., WATN-TV Channel 24) and “Bachelor in Paradise: After Paradise” (8 p.m., WATN-TV Channel 24) close up for the season.

A cure is near on a two-hour “Zoo” (8 p.m., WREG-TV Channel 3). This series will return for a third season next summer.

Partners decouple, regroup and form new family units as “Mistresses” (9 p.m., WATN-TV Channel 24) wraps up season four.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

The second round of semifinals unfolds on “America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., WMC-TV Channel 5).

Ironic air quotes hover over the notion of a “pleasure cruise” as “Below Deck” (8 p.m., Bravo) returns for its fourth season.

“Inside the NFL” (8 p.m., Showtime) enters its 38th season.

“From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series” (8 p.m., El Rey) comes back for its third season.

Fun, games and teamwork building on “Halt and Catch Fire” (8 p.m., AMC).
