“THE 64TH PRIMETIME EMMY AWARDS” (7 p.m., ABC): Jimmy Kimmel is on a roll these days. Not only is the late-night jokester hosting TV’s big bash for the first time, he could take home his first Emmy. While he works to keep the telecast from being its usual snoozefest, much of our focus will be on the best-drama category, where “Mad Men” tries for its record fifth trophy against some stiff competition that includes “Downton Abbey,” “Homeland,” “Breaking Bad,” “Game of Thrones” and “Boardwalk Empire.”
“treme” (10 p.m., hbo): Most of you probably didn’t notice, but, “Treme” is indeed still airing. The New Orleans-set drama returns for its third season of jazzy tunes and post- Katrina angst.
