Today on TV

Published: Monday, June 1 2009 12:06 a.m. MDT

I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here (7 p.m., Ch. 5): NBC tells us this show is "groundbreaking," but not only is it a British import, it's not new to American TV. It bombed on ABC six years ago. This is sort of a celebrity version of "Survivor," but the alleged "celebrities" are hardly on the A-list: Patti Blagojevich, Kevin Federline, Kato Kaelin, Heidi Montag, Janice Dickinson, John Salley, Sanjaya Malakar, Spencer Pratt, Stephen Baldwin and Torie Wilson. They're dropped into a jungle, where they face "comedic challenges" to win food, supplies and luxury items. Viewers will vote on those challenges and on who gets voted off each week. The winner donates the winnings to charity. It's allegedly live — taped-delayed in this time zone — so you're on your own with this once.

Here Come the Newlyweds (9:02 p.m., Ch. 4): Utahns Jed and Sarin Hinkins are still in the running on this goofy reality show.

Medium (9 p.m., Ch. 5): Allison dreams of a future where she loses her entire family. NBC has canceled this show, but CBS — which produces it — has picked it up for next season.

Jon & Kate Plus 8 (10 and 10:30 p.m., TLC): After last week's incredibly awkward episode, this week the kids work on a surprise for Kate's birthday; one of the kids has to make a quick trip to the doctor.

Kathy Griffin: The Footage You Weren't Meant to See (11 p.m., Bravo): Outtakes from the first four seasons of "My Life on the D-List." (Season 5 begins next week.)
