'Famous Crime Scene' (9PM, VH1)
Okay, so it's not exactly where we'd expect to find the most scintillating true crime drama -- well, save for those 'Behind the Music' episodes -- but VH1's new series that examines the famous deaths of rock stars delivers an especially timely episode, as tonight's installment goes back to June 25, 2009, the day Michael Jackson died. The Grammy-winning legend's cardiac arrest death is the subject of an ongoing investigation, as the VH1 series unravels, which largely revolves around Dr. Conrad Murray, Jackson's personal physician, and the man charged with involuntary manslaughter in the singer's death. Drugs, family squabbles, alleged attempts at interventions, Jackson's unusual lifestyle, his children and his planned comeback concerts in London also factor into his death ... consider 'Famous Crime Scene' an up-to-date primer on the complicated investigation.'Famous Crime Scene' (9PM, VH1)
