Drama queens
"Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" once again manages to bring together desperate recording artists who have more social meltdowns than Billboard hits. Keyshia Cole has joined the cast, but she barely registers in a season premiere in which the largely female cast is too busy stroking their egos to work on their material.
7 p.m., VH1
False blood
Those who find "Twin Peaks" a little too strange may want to visit "Midnight, Texas," a refuge for mutants who bond following the murder of a mysterious troublemaker. The series, based on the novels of "True Blood" creator Charlaine Harris, has plenty of the author's sexy beasts, but it moves so quickly and with a matter-of-fact acceptance of the wacky residents that you might as well be stopping by small-town Wisconsin.
9 p.m., KARE, Ch. 11
New girl in town
Nasim Pedrad was never used to her full potential on "Saturday Night Live," a wrong that prime-time TV seems determined to correct. After a very funny arc on "New Girl," Pedrad is front and center in the second season of "People of Earth," playing an eager-to-please FBI agent who stumbles into the world of alien abductees. The series may not be out-of-the-world brilliant, but it has its moments, especially now that Pedrad is on board.
9:30 p.m., TBS
