Murdoch Mysteries


9 p.m., Citytv


Looking to add a little intrigue and mystery to your Sunday evening? The one-hour whodunit drama Murdoch Mysteries returns tonight for its third season, taking viewers back in time to Toronto in the late 1890s as Detective William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) solves crimes using his penchant for developing new — and, at the time, unheard of — forensic techniques. Tonight’s premiere kicks off at top speed, as Murdoch finds himself far from home and running for his life in Bristol, England, unsure of who he is and how he got there.


True Blood


7 p.m. & 10:30 p.m., Space


Did you miss the first two seasons of HBO’s biting vampire drama True Blood? Too cheap for digital cable? Whatever the case, Space is serving up a bloody-good chance to catch up by rebroadcasting the first two seasons of this intriguing drama in which vampires have come out of the coffin to live in the open alongside humans, starting with tonight’s reprise of the first episode.



Minute to Win It


7 p.m., NBC


Spiky-haired Food Network chef Guy Fieri tries his hand at game-show hosting in this silly competition that forces contestants to do wacky stunts within a 60-second time frame — everything from pulling tissues out of a box to stacking plastic cups. If you think that sounds pointless and stupid, well, we don’t necessarily disagree.



Hoarding: Buried Alive


7 p.m. & 10 p.m., TLC


Since A&E’s Hoarders has become a hit by exploiting the mental illness that afflicts real-life pack rats, TLC has decided to get in on the action with its own hoarder show, with each episode chronicling the sad life of a hoarder whose compulsion to throw nothing away has led to a life of squalor and weirdness.



Word Travels


7 p.m. & 11 p.m., OLN


There’s something to be said for living vicariously through others’ travels; it allows you to see a whole lot more for a lot less money! This week, the fast-paced travel series sees Robin Esrock fulfilling his dream of cat-boarding in the high Andes, while Julia Dimon takes us sea level to Chile’s cultural capital.



Abroad


8 p.m., CBC


This made-for-TV movie chronicles the adventures of a young Canadian journalist (Liane Balaban) who takes a job at a London newspaper. Far from the British gentility she imagined, she finds herself surrounded by the scoundrels, alcoholics and lowlifes who make the British press so scandalously salacious, including a loopy media baron (Maury Chaykin), her eccentric editor (Sean Cullen) and her gay Saudi landlord (Noam Jenkins).
