“THE 62ND PRIMETIME EMMY AWARDS” (8 p.m., NBC): It’s television’s big night — a night when industry heavyweights babble on and on about the medium’s artistic merits, while conveniently overlooking debacles such as “Jersey Shore.” At least this year brings some fresh blood to the proceedings with newbies such as “Glee,” “Modern Family” and “The Good Wife” presenting legitimate threats to the old guard. Still, don’t be surprised if “The Amazing Race” — ho hum — picks up its eighth straight trophy in the reality competition category. Jimmy Fallon hosts the event from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.

“Drop Dead Diva” (9 p.m., Lifetime): Paula Abdul continues to find things to amuse herself post-“American Idol.” She guest-stars on “Drop Dead Diva” as the show wraps up its second season with a two-hour finale.

“Mad Men” (10 p.m., AMC): We’re enjoying the more adventurous and assertive Peggy (Elisabeth Moss) on “Mad Men.” Tonight she clashes with her new creative partner, and we’re guessing that she wins.
