Truth and Lies: Monica and Bill (9 p.m., ABC) - This documentary looks at the hours of surreptitiously recorded conversations between White House intern Monica Lewinsky and her confidante, Linda Tripp, which Tripp used as evidence of President Bill Clinton’s wrongdoings. It includes interviews with special prosecutor Kenneth Starr and rarely seen evidence assembled by the Special Counsel.

Roswell: Mysteries Decoded (9 p.m., The CW) - This special looks into the case of an unexplained crash in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. Some say it’s one of the greatest government coverups of the 20th century. The new CW scripted drama “Roswell, New Mexico” premieres Tuesday, Jan. 15.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine (9 p.m., NBC) - This very funny sitcom was canceled by Fox last year after five seasons. It starts its sixth season tonight on NBC and picks up with Jake and Amy’s honeymoon.
