“The Pacific” (9 p.m., HBO): In 2001, executive producers Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks presented “Band of Brothers,” a World War II colossus that, arguably, ranks as the best miniseries ever made. But it told only part of the story. While “Brothers” focused on the battles in Europe, this 10-part, Emmy-worthy companion piece follows three real-life Marines involved in the brutal conflict with Japan, beginning shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Like its predecessor, “The Pacific” is epic in sprawl and spectacle, but also has an intimacy that allows viewers to get up close and personal with its young American heroes. The series airs every Sunday through May 16.

“Minute to Win It” (7 p.m., NBC): “Minute to Win It” is a new game show that pits contestants against the clock in a series of simple, yet nerve-racking challenges. As payback, we’re giving the show exactly one minute to win us over.

“Celebrity Apprentice” (9 p.m., NBC): Season 9 of “Celebrity Apprentice” launches with a battle of the sexes. Get set to see the likes of Cyndi Lauper and Sharon Osbourne taking on a crew that includes Bret Michaels, Darryl Strawberry and former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich.

“Sons of Tucson” (9:30 p.m., Fox): And now for a different kind of family sitcom: “Sons of Tucson” is about three young brothers who hire a scruffy slacker (Tyler Labine) to pose as their father while their real dad is in prison. What would Fred MacMurray think?
