The season after the departure of “House,” TV writers are trying to reinvent the medical mystery procedural and, along the way, find a doctor character as mixed up and complicated as Gregory House.

So far, the results have been mixed. “Elementary” features a new Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) who is almost as cranky and cruel as House. But he’s not a doctor. Watson (Lucy Liu) is. And she’s a wounded soul. So between them, there’s some potential.

Two other new physicians are eccentric, but in a cute and wacky way. We’ve already met Mindy (Mindy Kaling) of “The Mindy Project,” a medical professional with the soul and insecurities of the fictional Bridget Jones. Tonight introduces “Emily Owens, M.D.” (8 p.m., CW), starring Mamie Gummer as a first-year surgical intern who combines brilliant competency with the emotional foibles of a trite, self-absorbed 13-year-old girl.

Driven by precious voice-overs, “Emily” cascades from locker room humiliation (somebody steals Emily’s pager) of the “Glee” variety to medical emergencies straight out of “ER.” It’s just too much to see the supercompetent Emily spit out orders and save a young patient in one scene and then listen to her whine in the next.

Emily has to contend with not only her mean-girl rival but also the heartless surgeons who run the hospital like a boot camp. And, of course, Emily has a 13-year-old’s talent for dealing with unrequited crushes. We hear a lot about them in voice-overs. A lot.

Tonight’s other highlights:

• Starz offers a marathon of “Boss” episodes (9 a.m.) in anticipation of the season two finale on Friday.

• The family seizes a chance to spring Maw Maw from the facility on “Raising Hope” (7 p.m., Fox).

• “Secrets of …” (9 p.m., Military) looks at the Navy SEALs.

• The Canadian cop drama “Flashpoint” (10 p.m., ION), formerly seen on CBS, enters its fifth season.
