Best seat in the house
If you think the new Vikings stadium is a spectacle, wait until you visit "Colosseum: Roman Death Trap," a new "Nova" special that explores how the ancient Romans built this center so they could re-enact naval battles and stage spectacles involving hundreds of gladiators and wild animals. 7 p.m. TPT, Ch. 2
Role play
Clive and Juliana are back! Dedicated "Modern Family" fans will remember them as Phil and Claire's alter egos when they attempt a romantic night out on the town. This time out, Claire worries that her hubby may be a little too much into the game. 8 p.m. KSTP, Ch. 5
The other couple
Am I the first to notice that Phil and Claire are also the names of the couple in 2010's "Date Night" who take on alter egos when they attempt a romantic night out on the town? This is either a weird coincidence or Hollywood is running out of ideas — and names. 9 p.m. FXM
