Swap meet

The new reality series “Family Trade” (7 p.m., GSN) takes us to Middlebury, Vt., where the Stones sell cars for coffins, balloons, maple syrup — anything they think they can barter for a profit. The toughest sell of all: Convincing me to watch more than one episode.

Asian invasion

“19 Kids and Counting: Duggars Do Asia” (8 p.m., TLC) follows our oversized family as they (and their 40 suitcases) head to Japan and China for this three-part special. See whether the Arkansas parents can safely make it back to the United States without leaving one of their children behind.

Jimmy eat (golf) world

“In Play With Jimmy Roberts” (9:30 p.m., Golf) is not about to knock “Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel” off its perch as best sports documentary series, but the veteran broadcaster and his team turn in some nice, albeit too short, feature stories, including one on Arnold Palmer’s massive collection of memorabilia and another on struggling golfer Christina Kim.
