The swamp thing

Shelby Stanga looks back at his stint on "Ax Men" in "Shelby's Greatest Hits, Vol. 1" (8 p.m., History), which ideally would be followed by "Don Shelby Teaches You How to Make an Ax." Instead, it leads into "The Legend of Shelby the Swamp Man" (9 p.m., History), in which our hero adapts to the fact that his houseboat has been destroyed.

Beauty and the brains

If you like game shows served with smarts and sarcasm, you'll pant over "The Chase" (8 p.m., GSN), the Brooke Burns-hosted program in which contestants try to outwit a 6-foot-7 British genius who flaunts his superiority at every opportunity. Winning big is tough — as it should be.

Miami heat

Former "Apprentice" Katrina Campins tries to show Donald Trump that she has learned a few things about real estate in "Hot Listings Miami" (8 p.m., Style), which revolves around a new construction project aimed at the rich and famous.
