To watch

SERIES PREMIERE: Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann, 8 p.m., WFTS-Ch. 28: Dancing With the Stars judges Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba coach two teams of dancers and singers who aren't stars, and then watch them battle it out in a series of live performances. Viewers vote for their favorites, losers get eliminated, and it all ends in six weeks with enough people left for one team that will end up like that kid group from American Juniors. (Have no idea what that refers to, right? That's our point.)

SERIES RETURN: Medium, 10 p.m., WFLA-Ch. 8: Oscar winner Anjelica Huston joins for a six-episode story arc. She plays a private investigator who strikes up an unusual bargain with Allison, whose life has turned upside down now that her psychic abilities have become public.

SEASON PREMIERE: The National Body Challenge, 8 p.m., Discovery Heath: Because it's not enough to have one weight-loss reality show with a pairs gimmick, Discovery Health's fifth annual weight loss and wellness campaign focuses on four sets of identical twins.

SEASON PREMIERE: Antiques Roadshow Baltimore, 8 p.m., WEDU-Ch. 3: The 12th season begins with the first of three installments from Baltimore taped in June. It includes appraisals of American Indian artifacts and an angelfish pin Mark Twain gave to one of his female proteges.
