NBC on Thursday announced its schedule for first-quarter 2008, saying that "Medium" will have its fourth-season premiere Jan. 7, while new reality series "The Baby Borrowers" is set to debut Feb. 18.
In addition, the network announced two new series to air early next year: "The Guinness Book of World Records – Live!" on Jan. 27 and "Top 100 Most Outrageous Moments" on Feb. 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.
The fourth season of "Medium," airing at 10 p.m. Mondays, will find Allison (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.
"Baby Borrowers," airing at 8 p.m. Mondays, 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.
