“American Masters: SALINGER” (9 P.M., PBS): “American Masters: Salinger” recalls the life of J.D. Salinger, the enigmatic author who stepped away from the spotlight after the success of “The Catcher in the Rye.” This version of Shane Salerno’s film contains 15 minutes of material not seen in theaters.

“Opposite Worlds” (10 p.m., Syfy): Reality TV gets even weirder with “Opposite Worlds.” It’s a competition in which opposing teams live in a house separated into two distinctly different worlds: one past and one future, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
