Back to Stars Hollow

If the "Gilmore Girls" reunion left you less than giddy, you can relish all seven seasons of the show's original run during a weeklong marathon featuring all 153 episodes in order. The last time UP pulled this stunt, 6.1 million viewers tuned in.

9 a.m., UP

Dave's world

Plenty of comics weighed in during the ceremony for "David Letterman: The Mark Twain Prize," but because the event took place in Washington, D.C., there had to be a political bent. Look for a tribute from former First Lady Michelle Obama, as well as notes from Letterman's psychiatrist.

7 p.m., TPT, Ch. 2

Building a bridge

If "The Wire" didn't make your heart go out to Charm City, then "Baltimore Rising" should do the trick. This thorough documentary spells out the city's racial problems, but still finds plenty to be optimistic about, as an attentive police commissioner and a former gang leader both struggle to encourage the city they love to find peaceful ways to ease tension.

7 p.m., HBO
