‘America’s Got Talent’ kicks off 10th season BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH It’s summer vacation in network land. Before “The Voice” and Sunday night NFL coverage revived NBC’s fortunes, “America’s Got Talent” (8 p.m., TV-PG) was the network’s only hit show. It was the perfect diversion for viewers still jingling from the excitement of the just concluded season of “American Idol.” That was some time ago. As with any series in its 10th season, familiar faces abound. Nick Cannon returns as host, joining judges Howie Mandel, Mel B, Heidi Klum and Howard Stern. If “Talent” celebrates the talents of perfect strangers, the new series “I Can Do That” (10 p.m., NBC, TV-PG) showcases the stranger talents of celebrities. Marlon Wayans hosts this celebration of the already known. “I Can Do That” may remind some of Jimmy Fallon’s penchant for getting the famous and semi-famous to perform YouTube-worthy song parodies and other performances we generally associate with the undiscovered. It’s also a fairly benign (if not banal) variety show airing at 10 p.m., an hour generally associated with more grownup dramas. This seems like a perfect show for 8 p.m., a time once known as the “family hour.” But we now live in an age when content is saved for later and streamed on demand. For a growing audience, there is no “now” now and 10 p.m. is just a state of mind. All that said, I don’t think there are enough hours in the day to interest me in watching this. • Jeff Foxworthy returns to host the fourth season of the family-friendly quiz show “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-PG). • “Extreme Weight Loss” (9 p.m., ABC, TV-PG) returns for its fifth season. This summer it features twin “stars.” Robert
p.m., TV-PG) to be entering its third season?
TONIGHT’S OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • Col. Fanin suffers a serious setback on “Texas Rising” (9 p.m., History, TV-14), part two of five. • Major’s close friend appears to have taken his own life on “iZombie” (9 p.m., CW, TV-14). • Reese reaches out to vulnerable siblings whose number came up on “Person of Interest” (10 p.m., CBS, r, TV-14).
CULT CHOICE Questionable talents (Brendan Fraser, Adam Sandler and Steve Buscemi) want to break in to the music industry in the worst way in the 1994 comedy “Airheads” (8 p.m., VH1 Classic).
SERIES NOTES ANDREW ECCLES / NBC
Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Howard Stern, Mel B and Nick Cannon return for a new season of “America’s Got Talent” premiering at 8 p.m. today on NBC.
and Raymond both tip the scales at roughly 380 pounds. They share a hardluck story behind their search for too much “comfort food.” Apparently, their mother went to prison when the boys were in grade school and their father wasn’t in the picture, leaving them to fend for themselves and their younger sisters. This season will not only document their “journey” back to a healthy diet and weight but allow the two former high school basketball stars to shoot a little hoops with their favorite NBA luminaries, including Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Byron Scott and James
Worthy. • A timely examination of a subject certain to loom large in the coming presidential election, the “Frontline” (10 p.m., PBS, check local listings) feature “Obama at War” examines the president’s options as he attempts to stem the rise of ISIS and quell the ongoing civil war in Syria without embroiling the U.S. military in a wider war involving ground troops. • Seasons come and go so quickly on cable.

LATE NIGHT Anna Kendrick, Gabrielle Union and Lee Ann Womack appear on “Conan” (11 p.m., TBS, r) * Jimmy Fallon welcomes Michelle Obama, Matthew Morrison and Smashing Pumpkins on “The Tonight Show” (11:35 p.m., NBC, r) * Chelsea Handler, John Slattery and Shakey Graves visit “Late Night With Seth Meyers” (12:35 a.m., NBC, r).

Whitesnake delves deep into Purple past on new album BY WAYNE PARRY The Associated Press Who says you can’t go home? David Coverdale delves deep into his Deep Purple background on the new Whitesnake album, which redoes songs from his tenure fronting the legendary classic rock outfit. “The Purple Album” begins with a more bottom-heavy version of the classic rock anthem “Burn,” which Coverdale shared lead vocals with Glenn Hughes on the original track. And while the remake misses
Hughes’ high notes, the current Whitesnake lineup that includes guitarists Reb Beach and Joel Hoekstra, bassist Michael Devin and metal drum legend Tommy Aldridge, provides a chunky underpinning to the familiar melodies and riffs. “Mistreated” is actually much better known as a Rainbow show-stopper from the days when Ronnie James Dio fronted Ritchie Blackmore’s post-Purple solo band. Dio’s soaring high notes took the song to places Coverdale never imagines, but Dave valiantly
tries to reclaim it as his own. “You Fool No One” sounds fresh and new here, and “Stormbringer” is more pounding and forceful than the original. Time has roughened Coverdale’s voice, and there are few of the high notes that put him on top in the late 1980s with tracks like “Still of the Night.” But with Blackmore continuing to waste away with a medieval-themed solo band that no one is listening to, it’s good to hear someone dust off these tracks and breathe some life into them.
Whitesnake remakes Deep Purple songs on the new CD “The Purple Album,” released by Frontiers Records. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
