Imus In the Morning 6 a.m., Fox Business Network

Quack! Quack! Don Imus has been back on talk radio after CBS Radio fired him in 2007 for his offensive comments about the Rutgers women’s basketball team. Now he’ll be back on TV, too, as FBN begins airing the simulcast of Imus’s radio show. FBN picks up where MSNBC left off in 2007, after the Rutgers controversy. I’m sure Imus has learned his lesson and will never say ridiculously offensive things ever, ever again.

Sherri 7 p.m., Lifetime

Sherri Shepherd of “The View’’ plays a pre-“View’’ version of herself in this new sitcom. She’s a working single mom who’s dealing with the dating world and trying to be an actress.

But the material here is chock-full o’ clichéd sass.
