The Great Food Truck Race Cooking Channel, 7 p.m.
In “Burger Brawl,” Tyler Florence gives the five remaining food truck teams a terrifying gator challenge in Fort Myers, Florida. They have to step up their game with a burger that takes creative risks and face a secret chef judge.

AMC, 7 p.m.
Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray and Ted Knight headline this still highly quotable 1980 comedy classic directed by Harold Ramis that pits “slobs versus snobs” at an elite country club. It’s a tossup between whether it’s Dangerfield’s hilariously boorish nouveau riche businessman Al Czervik, who is armed with a steady stream of uproarious one-liners to accompany his obnoxious behavior, or Murray’s unhinged groundskeeper Carl Spackler, who wages an increasingly insane war against a gopher, who steals the show. But watching them, and everyone else, in action is a comedy hole-in-one.
Battlestar Galactica Comet, 7 p.m.
Is 2005’s “Pegasus” one of the Syfy reboot’s best hours? So say we all, and so will you after seeing Adama (Edward James Olmos) take on a brutal admiral (Michelle Forbes) leading a ship long thought destroyed.
Masters of Illusion The CW, 7 p.m.
In “Crossbow Roulette and Magic Just for the Funovits,” oooh and ahhh from your couch as magicians wow a studio audience. (The episode was shot pre-stay-at-home orders.) The six performers include illusionist Michael Turco with cocktail trickery, mentalist (and dermatologist!) Angela Funovits and Ben “OK, Shoot That Crossbow at Me” Blaque.
Ringside Showtime, 7:30 p.m.
This documentary, filmed over nine years, chronicles the dramatic upbringing of boxing prodigies Kenneth Sims Jr. and Destyne Butler Jr. and follows the divergent paths they take as they navigate life’s uncertainties on the South Side of Chicago. Filmmakers captured pivotal moments as the young men’s choices and circumstances changed, leading one toward a promising boxing career and the other through the prison system.
Prideland PBS, 8 p.m.
Follow queer actor Dyllon Burnside on a journey to discover how LGBTQ Americans are finding ways to live authentically and with pride in the modern South.
