Emotional rescue

"The Ronnie Wood Show" is just a taping of a radio program, but the season premiere will still feel like an elegant affair for Beatles fans as Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones guitarist spin their favorite oldies and swap backstage tales. Future guest DJs include Alice Cooper, Steve Cropper and Slash.

7 p.m. AXS TV

Rocky mountain high

"Kingdoms of the Sky," a three-part series aimed at getting viewers high, has the obligatory amount of nature porn — the first installment on the Rockies opens with a bit on aggressive mating rituals — but the photography is out of this world. The trilogy continues with hikes up the Himalayas and the Andes.

8 p.m. TPT, Ch. 2

Tales of the unexpected

The new anthology series "Bobcat Goldthwait's Misfits & Monsters" won't make you forget "The Twilight Zone" or even "Black Mirror," but the comic behind the camera has a special brand of dark comedy that makes him a terrific campfire storyteller, particularly in the opener in which Seth Green is haunted by the character he voices in cartoons. Next week's episode, featuring Dave Foley, should speak to viewers who are terrified by the current state of politics.
