Porn: Business of Pleasure – 9/8c on CNBC (Re-Airs at 10/9c)
CNBC’s Melissa Lee examines the multibillion-dollar porn industry from the, uh, inside out, including the roles women play behind the scenes and the threat posed by piracy. (How long until a porn version of iTunes becomes the only solution?) Crossover star Sasha Grey (pictured above) is interviewed along with porn A-listers like Jesse Jane and Max Hardcore, whose name is about as real as any porn star’s face or body.

Wipeout – 8/7c on ABC
Ever wanted to see a 58-year-old granny wipe out? Well, tonight’s the night, as a quinquagenarian (which is apparently the term for a person in her fifties) tries to survive Sweeper Trees, the Slippery Swing and the Scary Go Round. So … are we ageists if we don’t think her outlook on the show is very good?
Ted Williams – 9:30/8:30c on HBO
It’s our last time mentioning baseball-related programming (until the playoffs start). Promise! A night after the All-Star Game, HBO airs this doc about one of the game’s all-time greats to mark the 70th anniversary of his rookie season. Former President Bush (don’t worry, it’s H.W.) and legendary baseball players Bob Feller and Johnny Pesky are among those commenting on Williams’ life and times, which, aside from being arguably the best hitter ever, included stints in the Korean and Second World wars.
