How the West was won
"Tin Star" isn't an old-fashioned western, but leading man Tim Roth might as well be sporting a 10-gallon hat and riding a horse named Trigger. The Oscar-nominated actor plays a new police chief in the Canadian Rockies who channels the raging alcoholic within when tragedy strikes his family. The cast, which includes Christina Hendricks, is impressive, but it's dwarfed by the majestic scenery and dusty cliches.

Close quarters
"9JKL" is based on star Mark Feuerstein's real-life headaches from living too close to his nosy family, which would be fine if Ray Romano hadn't already beaten him to the punch. Redundancy is the least of this sitcom's problems, which include wasting the talents of Linda Lavin, Elliott Gould, David Walton and Liza Lapira.

We are family
Almost every superhero saga involves misfits searching for family. "The Gifted" goes one step further by focusing on actual blood-related good guys on the run after their children are exposed as mutants. The family-friendly theme continues with less gore than usual, but the PG label doesn't take away the Bryan Singer-directed action, including a chase scene featuring sinister robot spiders.
8 p.m., KMSP, Ch. 9
