Survivor: Philippines 8 p.m., Channel 4
This season, all of the players will be wearing full bodysuits, so none of them will appear half-naked. Kidding! Half-naked people running around and losing weight is what “Survivor” is all about. Tonight is the start of the show’s 25th edition, which is a little shocking. Ratings have subsided over the years, which has led producer Mark Burnett to tweak the show with gimmicks. This season, the contestants include three returning castaways who had to leave for medical reasons their first time around: Michael Skupin (burns), Russell Swan (dehydration), and Jonathan Penner (knee infection).
Revolution 10 p.m., Channel 7
NBC is re-airing the premiere of this new J.J. Abrams series, in case you missed it on Monday night. For networks, this type of mythology drama is tricky, because they need to find an audience right away. Otherwise, it’s an uphill battle because most viewers don’t like to jump into the middle of a serial story line. I was very meh about this show, which catches up with the world 15 years after electricity has disappeared. What think you? Pictured: Giancarlo Esposito.
