According to their press release, executive producers are looking for "characters from real life; people with strong personalities who are unafraid to speak their minds."

Army Wives (9pm, Lifetime) - Emmalin and Michael's disagreement about their futures puts Claudia Joy in the middle.

MTV may not sound like a place you'd find teen country heartthrob Scotty McCreery, but that's exactly where he'll be this afternoon.

Scotty and "American Idol" runner-up Lauren Alaina will be guests on "MTV's The Seven" on Tuesday (May 31) at 5 p.m. 

"MTV's The Seven" is a half-hour show that presents seven important bits of pop culture news in each episode. It's hosted by Kevin Manno and is broadcast from the middle of Times Square in New York City in front of a live audience. It airs Monday through Friday at 5 p.m. (ET).

Scotty also appeared on "Live with Regis & Kelly" this morning.

Before I got a chance to screen episodes of "Skins" (MTV, 10 tonight) I got an email press release from the Parents Television Council proclaiming that based on the MTV's marketing of the show, "Skins may well be the most dangerous television show for children that we have ever seen."

Just the kind of endorsement to ensure your kids tune in.  

While I do think it's overstatement, I can see why the PTC is concerned. I'll acknowledge that there are teens that do drugs, drink heavily, have casual sex, and treat authority with disrespect. That doesn't make it any easier to watch, especially when, at least in the first episode, the show goes out of its way to throw those acts in your face. And makes the kids seem cool.

But I've had the benefit of watching four episodes of "Skins" and I can tell you that while you may not like the way these kids behave, the show gets more nuanced, giving context to the why they act the way they do, shows consequences for their acts, and delves nicely into the messy, confusing time that is the teen years.

The Perfect Teacher (8pm, Lifetime Movie) - David Charvet plays a teacher who is stalked by an amorous student (Megan Park) who is used to getting what she wants and refuses to accept his disinterest.

This also airs on VH1.

Great Food Truck Race (9pm, Food) - The remaining teams go to Jonesboro, Tennessee, population 5000, where they must cook a five-course meal in the style of a pioneer-era chuck wagon. I'm already missing the shaggy Jimmy Fallon look-alike from Austin Daily Press.

True Blood (9pm, HBO) - In the third season finale, Eric's overwhelming thirst for revenge against Russell presents a moral dilemma (does that mean they both didn't fry and die in the previous episode?). Meanwhile, a frustrated Sookie gives serious consideration to a life without vampires, and Jason thinks about yet another new career.

My Boys (10pm, TBS) - Back-to-back new episodes end out the season. In the first, PJ and her crew consider finding a new bar when irritating college grads overrun their favorite one, and Mike's courtship with Marcia blossoms. In the finale episode, Mike plans a birthday party for Marcia and gets the gang to help, but PJ may miss party prep because of work. Also, London is calling for Stephanie and Brandon must make a game-changing decision. Rachel Harris guest stars in both episodes.

Mad Men (10pm, AMC) - Peggy and Joan are forced to deal with rambunctious office shenanigans.

Hung (10pm, HBO) - Also season finales tonight for the HBO series "Hung" and "Entourage" (10:30). On "Hung," Ray thinks he may have a shot at reconciling with Jessica, but Lenore isn't ready to give up her star employee. On "Entourage," Ari's emotional outburst threatens to undermine his wife's surprise birthday party, and the guys worry that Vince's behavior has reached the point of no return.

The teen years can be a treacherous time, and high school can be Ground Zero for all the pain, confusion, anger, joy, vice and struggle of those years.

That's why there's real value in "If You Really Knew Me," (MTV, 11 tonight), a compelling docu-series that visits high school as they go through the one-day Challenge Day program, and shows what happens when kids are challenged to open up and be themselves.

In the first episode, the Challenge Day program comes to Freedom High, a Northern California school that has been transformed in the last decade, growing from a mostly white 500-student body to a diverse school of 2,400. That's led to deep division at the school, and it's not just racial. Jocks and cheerleaders hang out on one side of the campus, the outcasts on another.

There will be no shortage of television specials to mark Friday's first anniversary of the sudden tragic death of pop king Michael Jackson.

Jersey Shore (10pm, MTV) - It's the new reality show that has Italian Americans up in arms. But I'm not sure if making threats against MTV staff is the most effective way to argue that Italian Americans in New Jersey aren't all just a bunch of guidos. The show is pretty awful and advertisers are already bailing, so if you're curious, you better watch it while you can.
