Hitching a ride

In the latest episode of "MasterChef," the top 20 cooks head to an amusement park to whip up burgers and fish-and-chips for thousands of tourists. The winner gets an unlimited pass to ride the Tilt-A-Whirl. 7 p.m. KMSP, Ch. 9

Déjà vu

Bill Murray seems to be everywhere these days, from the final "Late Show" episodes to the opener at the St. Paul Saints' new field. But the best way to appreciate the star is through classic films like "Groundhog Day," the inventive 1993 comedy that confirmed Murray's status as a major talent. 8:30 p.m. Logo

Golden girls

Well, here's gratitude for you. "Hot in Cleveland" was most responsible for moving TV Land from rerun heaven to a serious player in original programming. But in an effort to attract younger viewers, the channel has canceled the series after six seasons. This 90-minute finale takes place largely in Las Vegas, which is appropriate since the series went from boom to bust in the blink of an eye. 9 p.m. TV Land
