OK, the show is called "Ben and Kate" but let's be honest, the big draw is the squabbling duo's pair of sidekicks — Tommy and BJ. Can Echo Kellum's Tommy be more adorable? Tonight, Tommy introduces his new girlfriend to the gang and Ben goes forward with his business plan. (City, Fox)

A third instalment of the reality spoof "The Joe Schmo Show," is underway with a whole new "Truman Show"-style premise. As in the earlier takes, everyone except one person is an actor playing a role on a supposed reality show — this time the faux show is all about becoming a bounty hunter. The first three episodes air back-to-back-to-back for initiates looking to dive in quick. Episode 2 features an insane eviction ceremony with flame throwers and wild animals. (Spike)
