"T.H.E.M." (8 p.m., NBC) stands for Totally Hidden Extreme Magic. Street magicians bewilder innocent bystanders, who are caught on hidden cameras for the amusement of viewers. The show has two episodes, but it's billed as a one-time special.
The personal and professional life of country music's first superstar is the focus of the new "American Masters" documentary "Hank Williams: Honky Tonk Blues" (8 p.m., PBS). Williams, who died in 1953, released 66 songs under his own name within a five-year period, including "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and "Your Cheatin' Heart." Half of the songs became hits and have been covered by artists across the musical spectrum. The program recounts how Williams' drinking problem created turmoil throughout his life. The broadcast includes the first-ever on-camera interview with Williams' widow, as well as conversations with original band members, his son and grandson.
The drama of the American Revolution is shown from the viewpoint of the losing side -- the British -- on "Rebels & amp; Redcoats: How Britain Lost America" (9 p.m., PBS). The program focuses on the military struggle and strategy, as well as the conflicts within the American people, as families were forced to choose between loyalists and rebels. It also explores the disappointments of black slaves in the South, who had been promised freedom by the British. The show is hosted by British military historian Richard Holmes. It concludes at 9 p.m. next Wednesday.
