Sunday

Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez and John Legend are among the stars taking the stage for "Chime For Change" (8 p.m., KARE, Ch. 11), a London-based concert supporting Gucci's new global campaign for girls' and women's empowerment.

Monday

Lesbian moms (Teri Polo and Sherri Saum) raise a blended family of biological and foster kids in the new series "The Fosters" (8 p.m., ABC Family). Jennifer Lopez is one of the executive producers, which means there's a good chance the school principal will be played by Pitbull.

Tuesday

Tell me what you want, what you really, really want. Let's hope it's the return of Mel B, because the former Spice Girl is a new judge on "America's Got Talent" (8 p.m., KARE, Ch. 11). She's joined by Heidi Klum whose talent is, um, walking?

Wednesday

John Ford may be the director most associated with westerns, but who was the true master of the genre? My vote goes to Anthony Mann, best known for bringing out the tough guy in Jimmy Stewart. Check out an evening of Mann's finest, including "The Far Country" (7 p.m., AMC) and "Winchester '73" (8:45 p.m., AMC).

Thursday

Bloomington native Brandon Johnson, who has spent much of his career on the Disney Channel ("Shake it Up!," "Hannah Montana") and soap operas ("One Life to Live"), toughens up his image by hosting "72 Hours" (8 p.m., TNT), a new competition series in which contestants are left in the wilderness to find $100,000 in cash.
