MONDAY (6/22)
- Jon & Kate Plus Eight (TLC, 9pm): Jon & Kate make some life-changing decisions. Well, Kate technically made the decision; Jon just didn’t want to argue.
- Charm School (VH1, 9pm): Season premiere. “Former contestants from VH1 reality shows work for charity (and a chance to win $100,000).” No good deed comes without incentives.
- Make It or Break It (ABC Family, 9pm): Series premiere. “In this drama focusing on the lives of teen gymnasts who strive to make it to the Olympics, new girl Emily Kmetko begins training alongside veterans who are both impressed with and threatened by her.” This could bring a whole new definition to the term “punch front.”
- Run’s House (MTV, 10pm): “The family rallies around JoJo after he’s charged with marijuana possession.” This whole time they had a connection within the home.

MONDAY (6/15)
- Greek (ABC Family, 8pm): Season finale. “Casey struggles with conflicting feelings she has for Max and Cappie.” Given how nauseating “Casey and Cappie” sounds, I’d think the obvious choice would be Max.
- The Closer (TNT, 9pm): “Brenda snoops into the abduction of a greedy financier being investigated for investment fraud, but she soon suspects that he may have staged the kidnapping.” Later, it’s discovered the investor was less than six degrees way from Kevin Bacon.
- Raising the Bar (TNT, 10pm): “Michelle then falls for a sightly cop who may be committing perjury.” So much for making him swear on the Bible before the first date.
- Here Comes the Newlyweds (ABC, 10pm): “The husbands try to guess what their wives think are their shortcomings when it comes to intimacy.” It’s not that they don’t already know—it’s just that they forgot.

- I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! (NBC, 8pm): Series premiere. “In the opener, 10 celebrities are dropped into the heart of the jungle to begin competing in various challenges that test their survival skills.” The first victim? Sanjaya Malakar‘s hair.
- Jon & Kate Plus Eight (TLC, 9pm): “The kids team up with professional baker Duff Goldman (Ace of Cakes) to create a special surprise for Kate on her birthday.” Kate, having been left all alone, will be forced to stuff her own pinatas.
- Unwrapped (Food, 9pm): “Fried foods are featured. Included: Ian’s organic chicken nuggets.” As if an organic version would make them less wrong.
- The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien (NBC, 11:30pm): The return of Andy Richter? Say no more!
