Keeping the faith

Roma Downey serves as executive producer for "The Dovekeepers," a two-part miniseries about how Jewish women in Masada fought back after Romans took over Jerusalem in 80 A.D. The cast includes Cote de Pablo and Sam Neill. The film concludes Wednesday. 8 p.m. WCCO, Ch. 4

Only the lonely

"Weird Loners" is a new sitcom that could go either way. You don't believe for a minute that these thirty-something friends would really be socially awkward, but the foursome has good chemistry and fairly decent material to work with. Give this one a chance. 8:30 p.m. KMSP, Ch. 9

Age is just a number

"Sex and the City" creator Darren Star is the producer behind "Younger," a series about a 40-year-old woman (Sutton Foster) who pretends to be 26 in order to increase her odds in the job market and the dating pool. 9 p.m. TV Land
