The 50th anniversary of the British Invasion is marked by Turner Classic Movies with a restored version of the Beatles’ classic “A Hard Day’s Night” (8 p.m.), the film that pretty much set the tone for British rock band movies to come (as well as the series “The Monkees”).
It’s followed by the more rare “Go Go Mania” (9:45 p.m.), a compilation of clips by the Beatles, Animals, Herman’s Hermits and Peter and Gordon. Then it’s Dave Clark 5 in “Having a Wild Weekend” (11:15 p.m. ), which turns out to be the same film as “Catch Us If You Can.” It’s also the first film directed by John Boorman. A Herman’s Hermits double bill follows, with “Hold On” (1 a.m.) and “Mrs. Brown You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter” (2:45 a.m.), listed by TCM as a “suspense” film for some reason.
It winds up with “Get Yourself a College Girl” (4:30 a.m.), which features appearances from the Dave Clark Five, the Animals, the Standells, the Jimmy Smith Trio and Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto doing “The Girl from Ipanema.”
A second season starts for the unfortunate retooled UK series “Mistresses” (ABC, 10 p.m.), a prime time soap whose dialog will at least probably be better than that on “The Bachelorette” (ABC, 8 p.m.), with which it is paired. On the latter, there is some big uproar about one of the guys who may or may not have a girlfriend back home. This outrage is coming from the girl who is dating 13 dudes simultaneously.
Perhaps TV’s most underrated show, the solid modern western “Longmire” (A&E, 10 p.m.) returns for a third season.
“Louie” (FX, 10 p.m.) wraps up the story about the Hungarian neighbor in his apartment building, and moves on in a second episode.
Jack works with the President to avert this hour’s catastrophe on “24: Live Another Day” (Fox, 9 p.m.).
Chilling that the bad behavior of American reality TV is now being exported with the premiere of the new “Ladies of London” (Bravo, 10 p.m.).
On a new “Years of Living Dangerously” (Showtime, 8 p.m.), Matt Damon looks at the health effects of rising temperatures and Michael C. Hall sees examples of rising seas in Bangladesh.
NFL’s Rob Gronkowski helps move “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” (The CW, 8 p.m.) to a new night.
It helps set up the return, after three months, of “Beauty and the Beast” (The CW, 9 p.m.).
Amid a trio of reruns from “2 Broke Girls” (CBS, 8 p.m.), “Mike & Molly” (CBS, 9 p.m.) and “Mom” (CBS, 9:30 p.m.), there is a new episode of the cancelled “Friends with Better Lives” (CBS, 8:30 p.m.).
A new “48 Hours” (CBS, 10 p.m.) takes on the case of a 20 year old University of Florida coed who went missing 25 years ago.
A good companion to HBO’s recent “The Normal Heart” (HBO, 3:45 p.m.) is a replay of David France’s documentary of the early AIDS era, “How to Survive a Plague,” on “Independent Lens” (PBS, 10 p.m., check local listings).
Talk about a show that should be left to the corners of cable: “American Ninja Warrior” (NBC, 9 p.m.), whose two hours are consumed by tryouts in Dallas. It’s accompanied by yet another rerun of “Last Comic Standing” (NBC, 8 p.m.).
A good fit for CNBC is the entertaining documentary “The Queen of Versailles” (CNBC, 8 p.m.), about the time share king’s quest to build the biggest private home in the U.S.
In a new episode of “Finding Bigfoot” (Animal Planiet, 8 p.m.), they don’t. It’s followed by a second episode of “Finding Bigfoot” (Animal Planet, 9 p.m.) in which they don’t either.
If you couldn’t watch all the good shows that are on Sunday nights, most of them are on again tonight: “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” (HBO, 9 p.m.), “Game of Thrones” (HBO2, 9 p.m.), “Penny Dreadful” (Showtime, 9 p.m.), “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey” (National Geographic, 9 p.m.), “Halt and Catch Fire” (AMC, 10 p.m.), “Veep” (HBO2, 10 p.m.), “Nurse Jackie” (Showtime, 10 p.m.), and “Silicon Valley” (HBO, 10:30 p.m.).
Contestants whip something up in 90 minutes on “MasterChef” (Fox, 9 p.m.).
Monday night baseball has Kansas City at St. Louis (ESPN, 8 p.m.).
