On the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the airwaves will be jammed with news coverage of the day's events, as well as in-depth commemorative programs: "9/11: 10 Years Later" on CBS, "Making the 9/11 Memorial" on History, "The Twins of the Twin Towers" on OWN and "Remembrance and Renewal: 10 Years After the 9/11 Attacks" on ABC.
Not to be overlooked tonight is "The Space Between" (USA), a powerful film starring Oscar winner Melissa Leo. She's a flight attendant who suddenly finds herself serving as guardian to a 10-year-old Pakistani-American boy after their plane is grounded in Texas the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.
When she discovers that his father works in the World Trade Center, they travel to New York City, learning lessons about tolerance, redemption and hope along the way. (For other 9/11 programming, consult your listings).
Tonight

Monday
- All you Little Monsters will love "Gaga by Gaultier." It's a special that has Lady Gaga sitting down with famed designer Jean Paul Gaultier in Paris for a meeting of the minds. The result is a spirited discussion about fashion, art, fame, sex and more. The CW.
- Bust out the swimsuits, sashes and fake smiles -- it's time once again for the "2011 Miss Universe Pageant." Natalie Morales and Andy Cohen host the festivities from Sao Paulo, Brazil. NBC.
Tuesday
- New show alert: Sarah Michelle Gellar makes a rousing television comeback in a suspenseful thriller called "Ringer." She plays identical twin sisters, each of whom is flirting with danger. Neither, however, is a vampire. The CW.

- After suffering through what seemed to be an endless parade of freakish acts (a typewriter orchestra?), we finally learn tonight who nabs the grand prize on "America's Got Talent." But not before a horrendously bloated two-hour season finale. NBC.
- Ozzy Lusth and Benjamin "Coach" Wade go for the three-peat on "Survivor: South Pacific" as they each are granted their third opportunity to outwit, outplay and outlast a fresh batch of contestants. We say, three strikes and you're out. CBS.

Thursday
- "The Secret Circle" is an enticing new supernatural drama about a teen orphan (Britt Robertson) who moves to a small Northwestern town, where she learns that she's a witch with amazing powers.

Friday
- The good news concerning Season 4 of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars"? The battles are bigger and more visually stunning than ever. The sort of bad news? Goofy Jar Jar Binks shows up again. Cartoon Network.
Saturday

- "Love Begins" is a syrupy TV movie about an adventure-seeker (Wes Brown) who pays off a debt by working a farm owned by a young single woman (Julie Mond). If you can't figure out where things go from there, you haven't watched enough syrupy TV movies. Hallmark
