The devil inside

Before Sabrina, "Charmed" and "Wicked," there was 1987's "Witches of Eastwick" (7 p.m., Encore) in which Cher, Michelle Pfeiffer and Susan Sarandon try — unsuccessfully — to resist the devilish charms of Jack Nicholson. Good, sexy fun.

Get your motor runnin'

In "Let It Ride" (8 p.m., NGC), Zach Ness carries on the family tradition by bringing dead motorcycles to glorious life. If all goes well, maybe Ness can get a gig as Ghost Rider's ever reliable sidekick, the Fixer.

All in the family

The family that blows duck calls together stays together, which is why it makes perfect sense to kick off Season 4 of the runaway hit "Duck Dynasty" (9 p.m., A&E) with a 49th wedding anniversary and a renewal of vows.
