Sunday "The 64th Annual Tony Awards" (7 p.m., WCCO, Ch. 4) may get more attention than usual, thanks to such celeb nominees as Scarlett Johansson, Denzel Washington and Catherine Zeta-Jones, but the real reason to watch is the excerpts from Broadway's best new plays and musicals, a tradition that makes this the most entertaining of all the awards shows.
Monday Most caddies are about as famous as the dude who mows the greens, but then most caddies aren't Bruce Edwards. "Caddy for Life: The Bruce Edwards Story" (8 p.m., Golf Channel) looks at the 30-year relationship between Tom Watson and his friend that ended in 2004 when Edwards died of Lou Gehrig's disease.
Tuesday Liza Minnelli didn't get enough humiliation from her cameo in "Sex and the City 2." How else to explain her willingness to appear in the season premiere of "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List" (8 p.m., Bravo). Griffin seeks the Oscar winner's help when she's cast in an episode of "Law & Order: SVU." I've seen that episode. Liza wasn't much help.
Wednesday The new sitcom "Hot in Cleveland" (9 p.m., TV Land) has such an esteemed cast -- Valerie Bertinelli, Wendie Malick, Jane Leeves and Betty White -- you almost forget that you're watching a fairly pedestrian sitcom about single women trying to start over. Red-hot White may be the draw, but I got a particular kick out of the return of Bertinelli, who is as cute and affable as she was back on "One Day at a Time."
Thursday If "Better Off Ted" (7 p.m., KSTP, Ch. 5) had been launched alongside "Modern Family" and "The Middle," it may have had a chance. It certainly deserved one. Instead, it's been axed -- but not before ABC gets rid of its last surviving episodes. Savor it while you can.
