Plus there's the marathon "reality" of "Duck Dynasty" (8 p.m.-4 a.m., A&amp;E) before Season 3 launches Wednesday night at 10 (following that day's 3-10 p.m. catch-up).

 TYPO ALERT The first time I typed the title of "<a href="/topics//Celebrity_Wife_Swap">Celebrity Wife Swap</a>" (Tuesday at 8 p.m., <a href="/topics//ABC">ABC</a>/7), the third word came out "Swamp."
