SEASON PREMIERE: Last year, Amy Schumer burst out of the blocks with a season premiere that was one comic triumph after another. After a long break, during which she made the movie Trainwreck, Schumer and her Comedy Central show are back. After the year she had last year, expect another big burst of comedy – and confidence. Here, she plays “The World’s Most Interesting Woman in the World.”

CONCLUSION: This is Part 3 of 3 of British naturalist David Attenborough’s latest nature documentary series, a study of flying creatures that covers everything from pterodactyls to dragonflies. Tonight’s final episode is called “Triumph of the Skies,” and is about the most dominant creatures occupying the air. Spoiler Alert: Expect some good footage, and insight, on eagles.

German cinema continues to be saluted Wednesdays on TCM this month, and tonight the lineup begins with a rare, long German film I don’t think has ever being televised in the U.S. prior to tonight: 1922’s Dr. Mabuse (pictured), director Fritz Lang’s mammoth movie divided into two 2.5-hour chunks, The Gambler and Inferno. Rudolf Klein-Rogge stars in the title role. And after the two 1922 films comes a sequel (at 12:45 a.m. ET), filmed 11 years later, with the same director, star

This new Nova examines an interesting subject, which I first encountered about 15 years ago when visiting Banff, Canada for a TV festival. Above the highways of that rugged northern landscape, every so often, were overpasses leading not to other highways, but allowing migrating and grazing animals to cross safely without being hit by moving vehicles. Who came up with ideas like this, and how are they implemented successfully? Welcome to another informative Nova. Check local listings.

The dangers of spying, and lying, get even more evident tonight, as Martha learns enough of the truth to be dangerously unpredictable.
