1) “Secrets of Penthouse,” 9-11 p.m., A&E; rerunning 7-9 p.m. Tuesday, with the second half 9-11. Bob Guccione (shown here) was an American artist, living in London with his wife and four kids, when he launched the explicit Penthouse magazine. It reportedly made him worth $300 million … which he promptly blew on bad investments. This intriguing (if repetitive) film has some people who praise his charm and others who discuss a bad dad and runaway ego.
2) Football, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN. The pro season starts Thursday; that means there’s this one Monday-night football slot that can be used for a college game. Duke, 9-4 last season, hosts Clemson, which was 11-3 last season (including an Orange Bowl loss) and is now ranked No. 9 in the nation.
3) “American Dad,” 10 p.m., TBS. After a three-month pause, this animated show resumes its 18th season. A new episode has Stan going to extremes to keep his wife away from his work friend.
That’s followed by reruns until 4 a.m.
4) “Breeders,” 10 p.m., FX. What was intended as a family vacation in Malta has dwindled into just the mom and dad – who haven’t had sex in five months – in a gorgeous suite. There are amusing moments … and then a cliffhanger that will bring us back next week.
3) “The Chelsea Detective,” www.acorn.tv. Here’s the second of four movie-length mysteries this season. Like last week’s opener, it’s a cleverly complicated tale. At a retirement home – or a “high-end lifestyle choice” – a murder casts suspicion on workers and others. Max ponders the case, while two assistants (well-played by Lucy Phelps and Vanessa Emme) improvise and ignore his instructions.
