Monday, June 6

“American Ninja Warrior” season opener, 8-10 p.m., NBC. Here’s half of the one-two punch that gives NBC strong summer ratings. “America’s Got Talent” has already started its season on Tuesdays; now “Ninja Warrior” takes over on Mondays. Adapted from a Japanese competition, it has people tackle obstacle courses, with a chance for $1 million if they fully conquer the finals. (Only three people have done it in 13 editions.) The season starts with tryouts in San Antonio and Los Angeles.

“Roswell, New Mexico” season opener, 8 p.m., CW. Could there really be domestic bliss for three people whose family roots are in outer space? Max is ready to propose to Liz … Michael might move in with Tyler … And Isobel might profess her love for Anatsa. All is serene (sort of). But Max, the acting sheriff, is investigating some imposing bank robberies. Also, a mega-storm is coming, literally and figuratively. It’s a powerful way to start the season..

“In the Dark” season opener, 9 p.m., CW. Murphy has never been a jolly person. Blind since she was 14, she has a dark, cynical shell. Things got worse after she got wrapped up in drug deals; now she’s in prison, where dangers loom. Meanwhile, Felix (her former colleague at the guide dog center) and his sister have an interesting visit with their grandmother.

“Breeders,” 10 p.m., FX. “It was the worst day of my life,” Paul groans. That’s saying a lot, because he’s had a long string of awful days; what began as a comedy has settled into being a dark drama (albeit a well-made one), with occasional laughs. Paul has survived a rough time with his son (with his wife and daughter becoming collateral damage) and now has a new boss who is ditching his best projects. One thing more: Some worse moments promptly follow.

“Brave” (2012), 8-10 p.m., ABC. Before it was fashionable, Disney gave us a cartoon heroine who was more interested in shooting her bow-and-arrow than in meeting a suitor. The result won an Oscar for best animated feature; it’s part of a fun movie night that includes the “Ghostbusters” reboot (2016), from 7-10 p.m. on FX, and animated “Hotel Transylvania” (2012) and its sequel (2015), at 7 and 9 p.m. on Freeform.
