8 p.m. on 7, ‘‘Pioneers of Television’’ — Crossing many eras — from ‘‘Adventures of Superman’’ in the 1950s and ‘‘Batman’’ in the ’60s to ‘‘Wonder Woman’’ and ‘‘The Incredible Hulk’’ in the ’70s and ‘‘The Greatest American Hero’’ in the ’80s — the new episode ‘‘Superheroes’’ features in-depth interviews with Adam West, Burt Ward, Lynda Carter, Lou Ferrigno, Robert Culp — recorded days before his passing — and more.

9 p.m. on 6, ‘‘NCIS: Los Angeles’’ — Chechen terrorists are recruiting foreign fighters to their cause and planning an attack in the U.S. In an effort to stop them, Callen (Chris O’Donnell) goes under cover to infiltrate the network in the new episode ‘‘The Chosen One.’’ LL Cool J, Linda Hunt, Daniela Ruah and Eric Christian Olsen also star.

9 p.m. on TRAV, ‘‘Edge of America’’ — Call him ‘‘Runs With Zombies.’’ The new episode ‘‘Edge of Pennsylvania’’ finds Geoff Edgers enjoying a variety of adventures in the Keystone State, including a zombie race and a demolition derby. The scariest, however, might be a haggis-eating contest.

10 p.m. on 6, ‘‘Vegas’’ — Savino (Michael Chiklis) and his crew are stranded overnight in the desert. Jack (Jason O’Mara) is taken aback when Mia’s (Sarah Jones) father (Michael Wiseman) grills him for information about her. Dixon (Taylor Handley) saves a girl from drowning and learns she’s been poisoned in the new episode ‘‘Road Trip.’’ Dennis Quaid and Carrie-Anne Moss also star.

10 p.m. on A&E, ‘‘Southie Rules’’ — South Boston — aka Southie — is a working-class neighborhood that’s being slowly transformed — as so many are — by the yuppie crowd. The family at the heart of this new series is determined to buck that trend. This multigenerational clan occupies a ‘‘triple-decker’’ house, operates a tattoo shop and clings fiercely to such Southie traditions as the annual New Year’s Day plunge into Boston Harbor. Can you say, ‘‘wicked cold’’?

10 p.m. on USA, ‘‘White Collar’’ — Peter and Neal (Tim DeKay, Matt Bomer) begin their investigation into Sen. Pratt’s (Titus Welliver) involvement with a ring of corrupt cops who framed Neal’s father (Treat Williams) and tore his family apart.
