IFC, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

Two of Bill Murray’s early film showcases are presented tonight on IFC. At 8 p.m. ET, there’s 1979’s Meatballs, in which he stars as a loose camp counselor – followed at 10 ET by 1980’s Caddyshack, in which Murray has a small (but scene-stealing and pivotal) supporting role as a golf-course groundskeeper bedeviled by a gopher. Chevy Chase was the star here, and Murray the third banana, so think of how satisfying it must be for Murray to compare their subsequent film-career trajectories. I'm just saying.
