The third-season winner of "So You Think You Can Dance," whom producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe likes to refer to as "America's Favorite Dancer," will be decided at 8 p.m. EDT on Fox. Could a female dancer -- like the awe-inspiring Sabra -- possibly win this year? Not a chance! Too many teen girls are voting for this thing. If you prefer your dancing a little bit more refined, then tune in for the Mark Morris Dance Group performing "Mozart Dances" on PBS's "Live From Lincoln Center" (8 p.m. EDT, check local listings).

Also…

The Oscar-nominated documentary "Recycled Life," about the "guajiros" and their families who live in the Guatemala City garbage dump, airs at 7 p.m. EDT on Cinemax. And TV Land marks the 30th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death with a look at the enduring mysteries that surround his life, "Myths & Legends: Elvis" (10 p.m. EDT).
