Jenna Elfman
Accidentally on PurposeBeginning her career in television in commercials, the lovely actress Jenna Elfman gained fame (and a few awards) for her work on hit comedy series "Dharma & Greg." But after a few years away making films, such as her role in the critically acclaimed Ed Norton, Ben Stiller movie "Keeping the Faith," Elfman has returned to the format that made her a star in the new CBS sitcom "Accidentally on Purpose." On the show, Jenna portrays "Billie" a film critic who finds herself "accidentally" pregnant after a one-night stand with a younger man. She then decides to keep the baby and begin a platonic relationship with her much younger father-to-be. But when his free-loading friends start coming around, she wonders how many "children" she's actually going to be raising. "Accidentally on Purpose" airs Mondays at 8:30 on CBS. Simon Helberg
Big Bang TheoryCBS Monday nights have become one of the biggest nights for comedies, and a lot of the credit for this sitcom revival has to go to the surprise hit "The Big Bang Theory." The show focus on a couple of socially awkward and nerdy roomates whose lives are turned upside down when they befriend the sexy new girl next door. Actor Simon Helberg portrays one of the boys equally nerdy friends and co-worker, "Howard Wolowitz" on the show. He and the others can be seen every Thursday night at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. Dr. Will Miller
Long time friend of the show, Dr. Will Miller, is an ordained minister, former standup comedian, keynote speaker, teacher and full-time therapist at a major University, yet somehow he still finds time to write books including Why We Watch and Refrigerator Rights (the latter of which has just recently been re-released with an all new chapter and updated research.) He's also the formorst expert on how classic television secretly revals the inner stuggles in all of us. Meaning, while you watch shows like "Mr. Ed" and "Bewitched" to get a few laughs, he's looking to find out what's going on in that messed up brain of yours. Follow Dr. Will on twitter. Don Schultz
It's a Wild WorldDon Schultz may seem crazy, but he's not, he's just a little wild. This trait comes in handy on his new Animal Planet program, "Wild Recon." The show is a 10-part series and focuses on a dangerous job no one else wants to do, go head-ti-head with some of the most dangerous creatures on the planet to study them for medical science. Shultz is just the man for the job as he specializes in venomous snakes, and is often the man sent in to collect deadly venom. Born in South Africa, he was not only the youngest person ever to give venomous snake demonstrations at the world-famous Fitzsimmons Snake Park, he also created and ran a company specializing in African reptiles. "Wild Recon" debuts on Animal Planet Tuesday night at 9 p.m. ET.
