SHAQ LIFE 9 p.m. on TNT. “Look, I’m not one to be narrating TV shows,” Samuel L. Jackson says while narrating this TV show. “But when Shaq calls, I answer.” See Shaquille O’Neal sniff a scented candle, toss pizza dough, buy shoes, D.J. and more in this new reality series, which gives Shaq’s admirers a window into his remarkably busy life as a retired professional basketball player — and an opportunity to live vicariously through him. Sprinkled throughout are pieces of insight from Shaq, who in the first episode gives a young man advice on attending an eighth-grade dance. “Listen,” he says. “If the dance starts at 8, show up at 8:15.”

ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP (2019) 7:20 p.m. on Starz. Rotten flesh and nostalgia fly across the screen in “Zombieland: Double Tap,” the latecomer sequel to 2009’s “Zombieland.” Like the first movie, this violent comedy sees Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Abigail Breslin and Emma Stone butchering the undead in creative ways — this time with the help of Rosario Dawson, Luke Wilson, Zoey Deutch and other newcomers. “The whole movie is very 2009,” A.O. Scott wrote in his review for The Times, “which is amusing and puzzling and possibly kind of a relief, given what ‘very 2019’ might look like.”
