Today's (double) giveaway could be your guilty pleasure

Television is a tough business, and so, history is strewn with failed series.

Some failed because they were bad; others because they were before their time.

Today, we offer two giveaway 2-packs that offer the shows' full first seasons AKA the complete series.

First up, "Sherri," the short-lived Lifetime sitcom based on the life of "The View" host Sherri Shepherd. The two-DVD set includes 13 episodes plus bonus webisodes featuring Ms. Shepherd's standup comedy.

We've paired that with "Huge," an acclaimed ABC Family show that starred Nikki Blonsky as a girl who attends fat camp and her relationships and adventures there.

The second package features "Off the Map," the ABC show from the preoducers of "Grey's Anatomy." You'll get more than 500 minutes of the show about young hot doctors in the South American jungle, plus bonus features like the cast discussing jungle medicine and cures.

That comes with the complete series of "Outsourced," the NBC sitcom about an American working at a call center in India. More than 7 hours of viewing with this one, plus a gag reel.

Want in? Just email here for the first package; and here for the second. We'll take entries until 7 tonight (12/20). We'll have a random drawing.

And we won't judge.

What to Watch on Monday: Bristol Palin makes acting debut

The Bachelorette (8pm, ABC) - Ali falls hard for Frank, but it looks like he breaks her heart. Four guys win roses for hometown dates. At the end of this episode, last year's bachelor Jake Pavelka and his ex-fiance Vienna sit down with Chris Harrison to discuss their breakup.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager (8pm, ABC Family) - Amy runs into Bristol Palin in her dorm room (hey, who hasn't?) and realizes the music program is for teen moms. Palin told E! online that she felt obligated to take this role: "I feel obligated [to speak out] because I've lived through this experience ... the more I talk about it and the more I can be hands on about it, the better I feel about myself." Here's a sneak peek of her skills. Meanwhile, Ruben is not happy about Adrian's choice regarding her pregnancy.

Huge (9pm, ABC Family) - Will struggles to compose a letter to her family and develops a crush on a fellow camper.
