Into the woods

"Dora the Explorer" escapes the California drought with a return to the magical rain forest in the first of three new animated adventures. In the first outing, our heroine must rescue Backpack and Map, which, coincidentally, are the next names of any kids to be adopted by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. 11:30 a.m. Friday, Nick

House hunting

Photographing houses may sound like a chore best reserved for real estate agents, but "American Masters: Pedro E. Guerrero: A Photographer's Journey" proves there's a real art to it when left in the hands of a genius such as Guerrero, who became a great confidante of Frank Lloyd Wright. The behind-the-lens commentary is top-notch. 9 p.m. Friday, TPT, Ch. 2

Totally tubular

Will Jon Hamm finally go home with hardware? Can "Modern Family" win six in a row? Will Viola Davis make history? Will presenter Ricky Gervais give the censors more headaches than Miley Cyrus? For some of the answers to these compelling questions at the heart of the 2015 Primetime Emmy Awards, see Sunday's Variety section. 7 p.m. Sunday, KMSP, Ch. 9

C'mon get happy

If his new single, "Trouble," is any indication, Keith Richards' long awaited return to solo work is reason to celebrate. Kick off the love fest with the documentary "Keith Richards: Under the Influence," now streaming on Netflix, and watch him trade comedy licks on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." 10:35 p.m. Friday, KARE, Ch. 11
