Be our guest

Minnesota native Steve Zahn didn't have much success with his last series, "Mind Games," but he's bound to have a massive audience when he guest stars as a potentially annoying neighbor on "Modern Family." And that's not the only very special guest star: Emmy winner Tyne Daly shakes things up as Lily's stern teacher. 8 p.m. KSTP, Ch. 5

Wild ride

Ice Cube and Kevin Hart make a likable odd couple in 2014's "Ride Along," in which a veteran cop takes his sister's boyfriend on a wild ride through the streets of Atlanta. Guess who plays who? Yes, it's predictable stuff, but the pair bounce off each other nicely. 8 p.m. HBO

The counselor is in

Lisa Kudrow is keeping busy with the long-awaited return of "The Comeback" in November, as well as a new season of "Web Therapy," the largely improvised sitcom about an egocentric therapist. Her latest client: Gwyneth Paltrow as a not-so-calm spiritual guide. Sounds like someone could use conscious uncoupling. 10 p.m. Showtime
