“American Music Awards” (8 p.m., ABC): And now for the “2016 American Music Awards.” Why? Because the nation’s pop stars need even more shiny trophies to validate their greatness.

“Vikings” (8 p.m., History Channel): The historical saga “Vikings” returns with the promise of “calamity, revenge and death.” In other words, it’s the feel-good drama of the fall.

“The Affair” (10 p.m., Showtime): We’re told that Season 3 of the human demolition derby known as “The Affair” picks up three years after Noah’s murder trial and he’s “a ghost of his former self.” That’s fine with us. We didn’t really like the old Noah anyway.
