Funniest Picture

A tribute to the late entertainer, the one-hour retrospective features the funniest moments from the 1964-66 run of "The Soupy Sales Show." Memorable sketches include a restaurant pie-fight between Soupy, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Trini Lopez; Soupy pitching Alice Cooper a singing bug for his opening act; the legendary naked lady gag; Soupy's Words of Wisdom, "Do the Mouse"; and laughs from Soupy's puppet gang – White Fang, Black Tooth and Pookie the Lion. (6 p.m., WLIW/Channel 21)

Nominated for an Academy Award as the best picture of 1938, this rousing adventure won three Oscars for art direction, film editing and musical score. Errol Flynn's title swashbuckler is unbeatable for his mix of heroics and mischievous high spirits, wooing Olivia de Havilland's radiant Maid Marian and battling Basil Rathbone's matchlessly evil Sir Guy. (6 p.m., TCM)

NORBIT — Critics absolutely roasted Eddie Murphy for this very broad 2007 comedy about a man who tries to figure out a way to escape his obese, shrewish wife and find happiness with his childhood sweetheart (Thandie Newton). As the saying goes, for people who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they will like. (8 p.m., ABC)

RATATOUILLE — Patton Oswalt provides the voice of Remy, a rat with a culinary bent who is nothing like his rat pack family. (8 p.m., ABC Family)

THE GRADUATE — Mike Nichols' 1967 comedy classic remains as fresh and funny as ever. Dustin Hoffman took his first steps to stardom as newly minted college grad Ben Braddock, who's not sure what to do with his life. While he figures out his next move, his mom's sexy friend Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft) is putting the moves on him. Katharine Ross plays Mrs. Robinson's daughter and Ben's love interest, Elaine. (8 p.m., TCM)

YOU DON'T KNOW JACK — Oscar and Emmy winner Al Pacino stars as Jack Kevorkian, aka "Dr. Death," who was plagued by controversy and legal problems as he advocated assisted suicide via his "Mercy Machine." (9 p.m., HBO)

THE PROPOSAL — Sandra Bullock got back on the hit-comedy path with this 2009 tale of a driven publisher who learns her lack of a valid visa will send her back to her native Canada. Her options include finding an American husband fast, so she basically forces her assistant (Ryan Reynolds, who actually is Canadian) to become her fiancé. (9 p.m., Starz)
