That's amore

"Andrea Bocelli: Love in Portofino" (7 p.m. TPT, Ch. 2) is the tenor's latest appearance on "Great Performances." This time, he's offering up such romantic classics as "Il Nostro Incontro," "La Vie en Rose," "When I Fall in Love," "Love Me Tender" and "Baby's Got Back."

No picnic

Kim Novak has pulled off a Hitchcockian disppearing act from Hollywood, but she's surprisingly open, sometimes angry and always emotional during "Kim Novak: Live From the TCM Classic Film Festival" (7 p.m. TCM), a one-hour interview skillfully managed by Robert Osborne. It's followed by 1958's "Bell, Book and Candle" (8 p.m. TCM), her very amusing collaboration with James Stewart.

Extreme games

"60 Minutes Sports" (8 p.m. Showtime) offers correspondents a chance to take a break from grilling politicians and let their hair down. In this outing, Anderson Cooper goes jet-skiing with big-wave surfer Garrett McNamara while Byron Pitts checks out what's considered to be the world's toughest obstacle
