What's On Tonight (Sunday): The present-minded Professor

Professor T

Happy Labor Eve! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, September 3!

Our Top Pick tonight is the season premiere of the British crime import Professor T (PBS, 8 p.m.). Based on the Belgian series of the same name, the show centers on the Professor Jasper Tempest (Ben Miller), a genius criminologist who assists the police in crimes even though he's quite difficult to work with — he has OCD. Like most PBS dramas, the show airs weekly but the entire season will be available via PBS Passport.

Elsewhere, Sinéad Keenan is Unforgotten, Van Der Valk is back(!), Special Ops' mission ends, Jerry West isn't Winning, Bunk'd goes to Barb-aritaville, and tourists take over the Heart.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
