“FALLING SKIES” (9 p.m., TNT): Prepare yourself for some close encounters of the eerie kind. This rollicking new sci-fi drama series from executive producer Steven Spielberg imagines a nation that has been devastated by a brutal alien invasion. Now, as the spidery extraterrestrials occupy city ruins and enslave American youths, a ragtag group of survivors is doing its best to battle back. Among the resistance fighters is history professor — and big war buff — Tom Mason (Noah Wyle). “Falling Skies” is TV’s version of a big-screen summer adventure saga.
“The 38th DAYTIME EMMY AWARDS” (8 p.m., CBS): The show figures to have a bittersweet feel to them considering that two more long-running soap operas — “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” — will expire soon. Wayne Brady is your host for the festivities.
“The KILLING” (9 p.m., AMC): The saga has both thrilled us and annoyed us over its uneven 13-episode run. Now, it’s finally time to wrap up the Rosie Larsen murder case. (We think.)
“DROP DEAD DIVA” (9 p.m., Lifetime): LeAnn Rimes does a guest gig on the season premiere of playing a celebrity charged in a hit-and-run accident. But the real highlight could be the cast’s campy musical take on Thelma Houston’s “Don’t Leave Me This Way.”
“The 2011 MISS USA PAGEANT” (9 p.m., NBC): Break out the swimsuits and the sashes. We just hope the winner can actually speak in complete sentences.
