Snap! Crackle!

The TV Guide Network officially switches to Pop with the premiere of "Rock This Boat: New Kids on the Block," a perfect example of the kind of inexpensive programming executives hope will draw viewers in their 30s and 40s who haven't completely grown up. 7 p.m. Pop

Philadelphia freedom

After nine seasons, it's easy to take "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" for granted. It would also be a mistake. The show continues to find new taboos to explore, starting with a ridiculous attempt to break Wade Boggs' drinking record during a plane trip. Future episodes have the gang joining a cult and competing on "Family Feud." 9 p.m. FXX

The dating game

Josh Greenberg is having a bad breakup. His sister has set him up on a rebound date — with a troll. His ex is dating Adolf Hitler. He needs the president's cabinet for advice on how to ask out a potential love interest. Welcome to the weird world of "Man Seeking Woman," a clever new sitcom starring Jay Baruchel ("This Is the End") as a cursed single. 9:30 p.m. FXX
