American Masters 9 p.m., Channel 2

They’re not almost famous. They’re extremely famous, and in “Pearl Jam Twenty,’’ director Cameron Crowe (“Jerry Maguire’’) pays them homage. The two-hour episode of “American Masters’’ looks at the seminal Seattle grunge band Pearl Jam - originally named Mookie Blaylock - two decades on, with never-before-seen footage of the band members when they were kids, recent band interviews, and lots of concert footage. Pictured: Eddie Vedder in “Pearl Jam Twenty.’’

My Extreme Animal Phobia 10 p.m., Animal Planet

We’re not only talking about snakes and spiders here, although they will be making appearances on this new Animal Planet series. Psychologist Robin Zasio also helps people who have paralyzing fears of more harmless creatures, including grasshoppers, moths, cockroaches, and puppies. I hope they do an episode on mice. I need help.

Ghost Adventures 9 p.m., Travel Channel

The Lizzie Borden house. Is that on Ch. 40? Or maybe 41.

Top Secret Recipe 9 p.m., CMT

Redoing Outback Steakhouse. But we go out to not cook, right?

Supernatural 9 p.m., Channel 56

Spike and Cordelia.
