The performances came in the June festival in Nashville.

The thing that surprises me about “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” (The CW, 8 p.m.) is the sheer number of magicians in the world.
The series “Botched” is usually about repairing bad plastic surgery; the new “Botched by Nature” (E!, 9 p.m.) treats naturally occurring physical aberrations.
