"Temptation Island" premiere, 8 p.m., Fox. Here’s the start of another "Survivor"-type reality show with a seedy Fox twist. Four close couples are sent to a beautiful setting in Belize. Once there, 26 pretty people try to break them up.

"The West Wing," 8 p.m., NBC. Felicity Huffman, who co-starred in "Sports Night," shows up as chief of staff for an ambitious Senate Majority Leader.

"Jack & Jill" season-opener, 8 p.m., WB. "Jack & Jill" returns as "Felicity" takes a break until spring. Tonight, "Jack & Jill" centers on a friend’s wedding. People fret and drink; there are some funny moments, then a strong finish.
