Early to rise

Kelly O'Connell joins the early shift in the Twin Cities as an anchor for Fox 9 Morning News and "The Buzz." The St. Paul native previously worked in Seattle, which means she's probably extra particular about her coffee. 4:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. KMSP, Ch. 9

Up close and personal

Minnesota's own Suzanne Sinclair, a close-up magician who has performed at Spring Park's Lord Fletcher's and Long Lake's Birch's on the Lake, gets the national spotlight in the season finale of "Penn & Teller: Fool Us," the show in which top performers try to stump the seen-it-all duo. 7 p.m. WUCW, Ch. 23

Order in the court

Supreme Court proceedings aren't televised, but you can get the next best thing to going behind its doors in "Landmark Cases: Historic Supreme Court Decisions," a 12-part weekly series that will dive deep into rulings handed down since 1973. Brown v. Board of Education and Miranda v. Arizona are among the cases that somehow never ended up on Judge Judy's docket. 8 p.m. C-Span
