Sounds like...a very awkward game of 'charades'

MONDAY

JUNE 20

9-9:30PM Celebrity Charades (AMC, TV-PG) This spring hasn't been kind to celebrities on TV. Between Britney on UPN and Tom on Oprah, let's just say dignity and Hollywood are on a relationship hiatus. Now there's this five-night series that should humiliate all involved (a mix that includes Oksana Baiul, Jill Clayburgh, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and Isaac Mizrahi). Yet they refreshingly seem to care less about how they come across than your average Price Is Right contestant. ''It's like a Robert Altman film meets a Christopher Guest movie meets Annie Hall,'' says Chad Lowe, who executive-produces with wife Hilary Swank and Bob Balaban (A Mighty Wind) ''But not as good as those things.'' In other words, get ready for some awkward moments. B+ —Jessica Shaw

SERIES PREMIERE 8-10PM Wildfire (ABC Family) Genevieve Cortese stars as a troubled teen who comes out of juvie hall to join a poor ranch family, where she gets a new lease on life. Sounds like a subliminal message for us to watch ABC's upcoming reality show, Brat Camp.

9-11PM Cyber Seduction: His Secret Life (Lifetime) A 16-year-old (Jeremy Sumpter) gets hooked on Internet porn, almost destroying his quiet Middle American life, his academic standing, and his relationship with his girlfriend (Lyndsy Fonseca). Most shockingly, this Lifetime movie isn't based a true story that's every woman's nightmare.
