SUNDAY

You got nuthin’ on me, “Copper.” Tom Weston-Jones, above, is the long arm of the law in this new police procedural set way back in 1860s New York City. “The Bourne Identity’s” Franka Potente also stars. (BBC America, 7, 8, 9 and 10 p.m.)

Gentlemen, start your ovens: Kicking off in Long Beach, and set to end 3,000-plus miles away in Maine, “The Great Food Truck Race” is on once again. Tyler Florence hosts a third season of this culinary competition. (Food, 10 p.m.)

MONDAY

Leo and Kate steaming up those windows in “Titanic,” Rachel and Ryan canoodling in “The Notebook” and George and J.Lo sharing trunk space in “Out of Sight” — see which ones made the list in the new special “Sexiest Movie Scenes.” (TV Guide, 9 p.m.)

WEDNESDAY

When life hands you Jack Lemmon… make movies! A daylong salute includes the late, great everyman actor in Billy Wilder’s 1960 satire “The Apartment” and Blake Edwards’ 1962 drama “Days of Wine and Roses.” (TCM, 2:45 and 11 p.m.)

THURSDAY

Student bodies: Fashionably clad undergrads vie to become “America’s Next Top Model” when the reality series returns with its first-ever “College Edition.” Supermodel Rob Evans joins Tyra Banks and Kelly Cutrone at the judges’ table. (KTLA, 8 p.m.)

First comes love, then comes marriage … then comes the “Fatal Honeymoon.” Billy Miller and Amber Clayton, below, star in this fact-based, made-for-cable 2012 thriller. Harvey Keitel (“Thelma & Louise”) also stars. (Lifetime, 8 p.m.)

Sardonic, much? In the new special “Larry Wilmore’s Race, Religion & Sex,” the “Daily Show” correspondent tackles that trio of oft-taboo topics in taped segments, street interviews and a good old-fashioned town-hall meeting. (Showtime, 11 p.m.)
