“American Experience: American Oz,” 9-11 p.m., PBS. After a blissful childhood, Frank Baum dreamed big, often with his dad’s financial backing. He raised thoroughbred chickens; he wrote, produced and starred in a touring musical. In South Dakota, he tried a high-end store and then a newspaper that went from feminism to proposing Indian annihilation. He failed often and then, in his 40s, succeeded with children’s short tales … a window-dressers’ magazine … and “The Wizard of Oz.”
“9-1-1” and “9-1-1: Lone Star” return, 8 and 9 p.m., Fox. After five-week breaks, the shows deal with horrific car accidents. In “9-1-1,” the team races to the rescue, amid other key moments: Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) goes into labor; the devastated Hen and Karen prepare their foster daughter to be reunited with her birth mother. In “Lone Star,” Judd (a firefighter) and his wife Grace (a 9-1-1 operator) linger near death, as flashbacks show how they met and fell in love.
