What do you get when Gene Simmons of Kiss joins forces with Fabio, the face and body that has graced the covers of more than 1,000 romance novels? You get “Mr. Romance” (9 p.m., Oxygen), a cheeky reality competition out to find the next beefy guy to sell a million bodice rippers.

Produced by Simmons with Fabio as host, “Mr. Romance” follows 12 sculpted worthies as they sweat their way through something called a “romance boot camp” and prepare for a “Mr. Romance” man-pageant in the hopes of landing a deal to appear on the covers of Harlequin novels and win a $50,000 prize.

Just in case you didn’t know you were supposed to watch this with your tongue firmly in cheek, Fred Willard of “Best in Show” fame shows up to offer colorful commentary at the pageant finale.

• Michelle Dessler (Reiko Aylesworth) returns to “24” (8 p.m., Fox) as the head of the Counter Terrorist Unit. She replaces Tony (Carlos Bernard), who just happens to be her ex-husband and who risked everything to save her life last season. So I guess they have some “issues.” Why should they be any different?

Just this season, we’ve seen Jack torture the husband of his girlfriend, Audrey (Kim Raver). And Audrey’s dad, Secretary of Defense Heller (William Devane), ordered the torture of his own son. Former CTU chief Erin ordered the torture of CTU employee Sarah (Lana Parrilla), but Sarah was such a good sport about it.

And those are the good guys!
