One of the great things about TV is the variety it affords viewers. As clearly demonstrated tonight.
On KUED, we've got "Nova" (8 p.m., PBS/Ch. 7) and an examination of how Albert Einstein developed the theory of general relativity, which reshaped the understanding of gravity, space and time.
On KSTU, we've got "Empire" (8 p.m., Fox/Ch. 13) and Cookie and Candace recruit an ex-con to help them rescue their sister.
It's hard to imagine two shows less alike.
