Masters of Illusion Given the title of the new episode “The One With a Floating Orb and One Nasty Power Saw,” we strongly suspect that one or more of the acts feature ... oh, OK. We won’t repeat them. Nathan Burton, Jeki Yoo, Murray SawChuck, Michael Grandinett­i, RJ Cantu, Billy Kidd and Joseph Gabriel are the magicians introduced by host Dean Cain during this halfhour. Another episode follows.

The Killer Closer Among the Los Angeles Police Department detectives of the Foothill Homicide Unit, it was Lindy Gligorijev­ic who earned the moniker “the killer closer” for her determinat­ion to give her murder victims a voice. She revisits some of her most shocking cases from the 1990s in this new true-crime series, starting with “Roadside Homicide,” which begins as the body of a dead woman is found in the back seat of her burned-out car.

Henry Rollins: Keep Talking, Pal. Formerly best known as the lead singer of the punk rock group Black Flag, the sometime actor and author also flexes his muscles as a storytelle­r in occasional spokenword shows that find the outspoken Rollins, pictured, holding forth on a wide-ranging series of topics comprising everything from politics to American culture at large. Much of it is funny, while some bits seem designed to provoke a strong response, whatever it may be, from his avid audience. This new onehour special was filmed at one such event.

9 p.m. on DISN

Movie: Freaky Friday Told previously in a theatrical feature as well as a TV movie, the durable body-switch fantasy gets another workout in this new version, notable because it puts the stage-musical adaptation on film. Heidi Blickensta­ff and Cozi Zuehlsdorf­f now play the mother and daughter who occupy each other’s space — quite literally — for a day, thanks to the effects of a magical hourglass. The score includes two new songs.

10 p.m. on PBS

Great Performanc­es “Chicago Voices” is just what the title of this new episode indicates ... an array of vocal talents singing in tribute to the Windy City and its artistic culture at Lyric Opera, with renowned soprano Renee Fleming as host of the program. She also performs in the concert, as do Tonywinnin­g Broadway star Jessie Mueller (Waitress) and several Grammy winners: rapper Lupe Fiasco, folk icon John Prine, pop-gospel artist Michelle Williams (also of Destiny’s Child fame) and jazz staple Kurt Elling.
