“Supermarket Sweep” (7 p.m., ABC): “Saturday Night Live” alumna Leslie Jones is both host and executive producer of this classic, fast-paced game show in which each episode features three teams of two battling it out to prove their supermarket skills and general knowledge of merchandise to win big cash prizes. The team that manages to rack up the biggest grocery bill during their timed race around the store can win $100,000. Jones says she has an emotional stake in the game: She unsuccessfully auditioned to be a contestant on an earlier version of the show.
“Pandora” (7 p.m., CW): Jax (Priscilla Quintana) and her team visit the remote planet where Professor Osborn (Noah Huntley) first found her as an infant during the Earth-Zatarian War in the new episode “Gates of Eden.” The expedition hopes to find the Ancients and persuade them to save the universe, but Ralen (Ben Radcliffe) suffers a loss that will change him forever.
(7 p.m., BBCA): A new season of this long-running automotive series finally premieres, after production was forced to shut down last March due to the coronavirus pandemic. Filming resumed in June, under new health constraints which saw the “studio” segments moved from their familiar hangar to a racecourse, where hosts Paddy McGuinness, Freddie Flintoff and Chris Harris appeared before a socially-distanced drive-in crowd of 500. Among the new season’s highlights, hosts McGuinness, Flintoff and Harris tackle a giant carnival-inspired Wall of Death, driving old insurance write-offs.

(8 p.m., ABC): Actress Tiffany Haddish is in the hot seat as this game show reboot returns for Season 2. In addition to “regular” contestants, this season also features celebrities like Haddish playing for a favorite charity.

Tonight’s other contestant, firefighter Oliver Fry, tries his luck at climbing to the $1 million prize.
