I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here, Janice Dickenson

I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!
8 pm/ET NBC 
Do you ever wish some "celebrities," like Spencer Pratt, Heidi Montag and Janice Dickinson, would just go away? Well now they are. Sort of. In this reincarnation of the 2003 series that aired on ABC, 10 shameless famous people are dropped in the heart of the Costa Rican rain forest to have their survival skills tested in a series of challenges voted on by viewers. The C-listers featured on the previous version included Cris Judd (J.Lo's ex), Bruce Jenner and Melissa Rivers. And hey, we haven't seen much of Cris Judd lately, so maybe one day "Speidi" really will go away. We can only hope!&

CBS announced eight brand-new series for the 2009-10 TV season, including ones starring Chris O'Donnell, LL Cool J, Julianna Margulies and Alex O'Loughlin, and swooped in and picked up NBC's castoff Medium.

The Eye ordered a full 22-episode season of Medium, slotting it after Ghost Whisperer on Fridays. As CBS entertainment boss Nina Tassler says, "If Ghost Whisperer and Numbers had an offspring, Medium would be it."

CBS also has tinkered with its Monday lineup in unexpected ways. How I Met Your Mother will now ... read more

Fall TV: NBC's "Split" Sked Offers Surprises for Fans of Chuck, FNL & Medium

Chuck, Friday Night Lights and Medium

NBC's 2009-10 schedule effectively cleaves the TV season in half, meaning that some shows will premiere in the fall and then vanish, while others will not return or premiere until midseason.

That means that recent flourishes of good news for Chuck and Friday Night Lights have been tempered by news likely to disappoint the shows' fans.

How so? Though Chuck was picked up for a third season, the action-comedy's fervent fans will have to wait until midseason (after the Winter Olympics, specifically) to get their fix. NBC boss Ben Silverman said in a Tuesday conference call, however, that Chuck's cast will not be whittled down.

And while NBC recently trumpeted news of Friday Night Lights' two-season renewal, Coach Taylor won't call another play until ... read more

As if a regular one-hour episode of Medium doesn't pack enough of a wallop, tonight's two-hour special was filled to the rim with deliciously brewed plot twists and tangy story lines. Three incredible guest actors graced us with their presence and made this episode truly star-studded.
