What’s on TV

CHERISH THE DAY 10 p.m. on OWN. After creating the OWN family drama “Queen Sugar,” Ava DuVernay was invited to bring another show to the network. The result is this new anthology series. The season follows the relationship of a single couple, each episode focusing on a momentous, single day they share together. The premiere stars Xosha Roquemore (“The Mindy Project”) and Alano Miller (“Underground”) as a couple in Los Angeles who, over the course of several years, forge a deep connection and face hurdles that challenge their relationship.

ALI & CAVETT: THE TALE OF THE TAPES (2020) 9 p.m. on HBO; stream on HBO platforms. Some might say Muhammad Ali was made for prime-time television. In the 1960s and ’70s, the boxer made more than a dozen appearances on “The Dick Cavett Show.” He was charismatic, witty and, at times, provocative. But as a guest on the show, he also brought light to social injustices against black people at a time when the United States was convulsed by racial tension. This new documentary offers a window into Ali’s mind through clips of those appearances — in which he thoughtfully shared his political, social and religious views — and provides context using interviews with authors, civil rights activists, sports commentators and Cavett himself.
