The N.B.A. hosts its 75th draft and Cesar Millan returns to TV with a new show focused on rescue dogs and their owners.
Between network, cable and streaming, the modern television landscape is a vast one. Here are some of the shows, specials and movies coming to TV this week, July 26-Aug. 1. Details and times are subject to change.
Monday
ANTIQUES ROADSHOW 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings). “Antiques Roadshow” has been a PBS staple since 1997, and while the show still airs its usual episodes, this week it is hosting its annual “Women’s Work” special. The show focuses on celebrating trailblazing women and sharing their stories through their objects and accomplishments. On Monday night, PBS will host two back-to-back episodes of the “Women’s Work” special featuring an archive from the Cherokee poet Ruth Muskrat Bronson, items of the pilot Jacqueline Cochran’s and more.
Tuesday
BUTTERFIELD 8 (1960) 8 p.m. on TCM. Elizabeth Taylor’s performance as Gloria Wandrous in “BUtterfield 8” earned her the first of two Academy Awards for best actress in a leading role — the second was for “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” (1966). This film follows the glamorous life of a New York City socialite and party girl. As she meets and falls for a married man, things quickly take a turn for the worse and the film finishes with a not-so-happy ending. The New York Times film critic Bosley Crowther wrote, “The ending is absurd.” He added: “It’s the living it up that gets you in this film.”
Wednesday
VICE VERSA: CRUSADERS 9 p.m. on VICE. This week, Vice is releasing a documentary focused on Jehovah’s Witnesses. The documentary will feature interviews with a member who left after seeing how his family covered up abuse within the congregation. Though the organization is typically guarded, Vice gets an inside look through whistle-blowers and leaked documents. The film is part of the network’s Vice Versa franchise, which produces independent documentaries.
Thursday
N.B.A. 2021 DRAFT 8 p.m. on ABC and ESPN. More than a week after the N.B.A. finals (the Milwaukee Bucks earned the title after beating the Phoenix Suns, four games to two), the N.B.A. is diving straight into its 2021 draft. The draft will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and will be broadcast live. Because of delays and restrictions during the season because of the pandemic, the draft and the official beginning of the off-season are starting later than usual. This also kicks off the N.B.A.’s 75th anniversary celebrations, including the unveiling of a logo in commemoration of the typical 75th anniversary symbol — a diamond.
OLYMPIC COVERAGE All day on NBC. Olympic coverage continues this week with archery, tennis, volleyball, judo, fencing and much more, available all throughout the day and night. Thursday night will be a big night for swimming as the women’s 100-meter freestyle and 200-meter breaststroke, and men’s 200-meter individual medley, 200-meter backstroke and 200-meter individual medley competitions that are held throughout the day culminate in awards ceremonies starting at 9:30 p.m. Find a guide to all the Tokyo Summer Olympics you can watch here.
Friday
CESAR MILLAN: BETTER HUMAN BETTER DOG 9 p.m. on the National Geographic Channel. The dog trainer Cesar Millan is back on the small screen this week with his new show, “Better Human Better Dog.” Millan first became known for “The Dog Whisperer,” which premiered in 2004. Since then, Millan has starred in another TV show, “Cesar 911,” and has grown his dog training business. His new show aims to help owners bridge the emotional gap with rescue dogs that are victims of a troubled past. The 10-part show will air on National Geographic and Nat Geo WILD.
BURDEN OF TRUTH 8 p.m. on the CW. “Burden of Truth” returns for its fourth and final season on the CW this week. The show, originally broadcast in Canada through CBC, is a Canadian legal drama that centers on one legal case each season with a focus on social justice. CBC announced in March that Season 4 would be the final one of the show. The CW picked up the show and has been airing it in the United States.
Saturday
THE LATE SHOW (1977) 6:15 p.m. on TCM. “The Late Show” stars Art Carney as Ira Wells, a detective who finds himself on an interesting journey while trying to solve the murder of his former partner — and meets some eccentric characters along the way. Vincent Canby, the New York Times critic, wrote that the film offered “a languid, fashionably disenchanted view of life and love in Los Angeles.”
Sunday
36TH ANNUAL STELLAR GOSPEL MUSIC AWARDS 8 p.m. on BET. On Sunday night, BET will broadcast the annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards. The awards show will feature performances by the Clark Sisters, Cece Winans and Kierra Sheard, and will be hosted by Jekalyn Carr and Tye Tribbett. It will be broadcast live from the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville.
