8 p.m. A&E America’s Top Dog In the new “The Tall, the Brave and the Engaged,” a Frisbee-catching veteran challenges a resilient demo dog (a pooch that assists in training sessions), while a female K9 goes up against the tallest dog fea- tured on the show this season. Elsewhere, an en- gaged couple compete against each other with their terriers, who are siblings. By the end of the episode, only one dog will be sent on to the finale. 8 p.m. SHOW Movie: The Exception Best known for his work in the theater, David Le- veaux made his feature film directorial debut with this well-received 2016 wartime romance adapted from Alan Judd’s novel “The Kaiser’s Last Kiss.” The story is a fictionalized account of the latter days of exiled Kaiser Wilhelm II (Christopher Plummer, in another acclaimed performance). Jai Courtney (“Suicide Squad”) also stars as a Wehrmacht offi- cer dispatched to investigate concerns that a British spy has infiltrated the Kaiser’s residence in Holland and plans to assassinate him. Lily James and Janet McTeer also star. 9 p.m. PBS American Masters The series profiles a highly revered Chicago musi- cian who has been a major influence on many iconic guitarists in the new “Buddy Guy: The Blues Chase the Blues Away.” A pioneer of his hometown’s West Side sound, Guy was ranked 23rd in Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.” Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jeff Beck and John Mayer are among his musical acolytes. The program features new perfor- mances by and interviews with Mayer and Carlos Santana, among others. 9 p.m. MTV Catfish: The TV Show In the new episode “Zark & Roger,” Zark’s been dat- ing Roger remotely for two years now, but during their sessions on video chat, Roger will only show the bot- tom half of his face. He claims it’s because he’s sick, but it raises some red flags for the show’s hosts. Sure enough, a shocking Instagram discovery leads Nev and Kamie to question Roger’s true intentions. 10 p.m. Cheers to Batwoman Cheers to Dr. Death Jeers to The Blacklist Jeers to Fear Street: 1978 FREE for rising to the challenge.
