Disengaged

Forgive Jim Jones for not making much of a splash lately in the hip-hop world. He's too busy trying to convince viewers he wants to get married. "Jim & Chrissy: Vow or Never" is the latest incarnation of an ongoing hustle in which his engagement to girlfriend Chrissy Lampkin is used as fodder for a reality series. It doesn't take more than 20 minutes before Jones has hit the strip club — and you're reminded that he and Lampkin aren't the most worthwhile couple to root for.

9 p.m. We TV

Genie in a bottle

"Tracks" is the latest attempt to modernize "Name That Tune," with host Bow Wow challenging contestants to pinpoint a song title with the aid only of instrumental tracks. Executive producer Christina Aguilera pops by to give her lungs a workout.

9:30 p.m. Spike

Grub to swear by

Action Bronson (no relation to Action Jackson or Charles Bronson) continues to fill every one of his non-rapping moments by sampling fine cuisine, wine and weed around the world. The latest season of "#@$% That's Delicious" includes stops in Australia, Denmark and Italy. The travel agent who bypassed Amsterdam should be canned.

9 p.m. Viceland
