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.
