1) “The Sting” (1973) and “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” (1969), 8 and 10:15 p.m. ET., Turner Classic Movies. Thiswas the perfect blend — top stars (Paul Newman and Robert Redford), talented director (George Roy Hill), jaunty music and fresh takes on cowboys and con men. Both won Oscars for their scripts and music; “Sting” (shown here) won for best picture.
3) More movies. It’s a great film night, led by Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-winning “The Departed” (2006), 6 p.m., Paramount Network; “Marty Supreme” (2025), 6:25, HBO; and two on AMC: At 2 p.m. is the witty “Knives Out” (2019); at 7 is Steven Spielberg’s “Jurassic Park” (1993).
3) Sports rush. For pro basketball, it’s time to reload. Thre first round of the draft is 8-11 p.m. ET on ABC and ESPN. (Also, ESPN has a preview at 7 p.m. and, on Wednesday, has the secodn round.) And Fox remains consumed with soccer: It has World Cup games at 1, 4 and 7 p.m. ET, with a 10 p.m. one on Fox Sports1; they’re also on Peacock and Fox One.
4) “Lucy Worsley Investigates,” 9 p.m., PBS. As the 250th birthday nears on July 4, PBS reruns key documentaries. This is the first half (concluding next week) of a fairly good one in which Worsley ponders her country’s hesitant fight against the Americans, in a war it didn’t understand and couldn’t afford.
5) ALSO: NBC has “America’s Got Talent” auditions at 8 p.m. and a new “Password” (with wrestler Mike “The Miz” Mizanin) at 10. And at 8, CBS reruns its “NCIS” season-finale: There’s a new blast, on the anniversary of the deadly coffee-shop bombing.
