v 93,000: Number of patrons who bought tickets

“MasterChef” (9 p.m., Fox): You’ve gotta break a few eggs — then fry them — to regain your spot in this season’s competition.
“Million Dollar Listing: LOS ANGELES” (9 P.M., BRAVO): The new season of “Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles” should be a major thrill. That’s if you get a kick out of watching people haggle over exorbitant, overpriced homes few of us could afford.
“Broadchurch” (10 p.m., BBC America): “Broadchurch” is a thrilling whodunit that focuses on the murder of a young boy in a quiet seaside town, where the suspects are many. David Tennant (“Doctor Who”) and Olivia Colman play detectives trying to crack the case.

PBS sticking with ‘Downton’ schedule
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.
PBS’ chief executive says she’s sticking with airing “Downton Abbey” after it shows in Britain, spoilers or not. Paula Kerger said Tuesday the period drama has drawn record ratings for PBS, and the public TV service doesn’t want to tinker with success. The new season begins Jan. 5.
“Downton Abbey,” which will be entering its fourth season, has been airing in the United States after its U.K. season concludes, allowing plot twists to spill online. But Kerger says word-of-mouth from the British airing helps create buzz for the U.S. airing.
