NBC's Emmy-winning drama "Medium" will kick off its fourth season on January 7, one of a number of first-quarter scheduling announcements
unveiled by the network on Thursday.
"Deal or No Deal" returns to Mondays (9 p.m.) starting January 7 in addition to its 8 p.m. Wednesday telecast. It's taking over the time slot of "Heroes," which wrapped its second "volume" this week. Production on "Heroes" was suspended because of the writers strike. "Deal" also had been airing at 8 p.m. Fridays, but "1 vs. 100" is taking over that slot.
"Medium," airing at 10 p.m. Mondays, will find Allison (Emmy winner Patricia Arquette) and her family's world turned upside down after her abilities are publicly exposed. Anjelica Huston is set to appear in six episodes.
Additionally, NBC will premiere the reality series "The Baby Borrowers" on February 18. Airing at 8 p.m. Mondays, the show is based on a British format that puts five teenage couples on a "fast track to adulthood" as they set up a home, get a job and become parents over the course of three weeks.
The network also said "The
Guinness Book of World Records -- Live!" will air on January 27, and "Top 100 Most Outrageous Moments" on February 10.
"The Guinness Book of World Records - Live!" special will feature a countdown of world records leading up to a live "death-defying stunt never seen before on television."
"Top 100 Most Outrageous Moments" counts down clips including viewer submissions, TV show bloopers, games show flubs and other new and classic clips. The special is part of NBC's "Outrageous Moments"
franchise.
