“Chuck” (7 p.m., NBC) returns to the schedule in 3-D. Viewers can watch with plastic glasses that have been distributed in grocery, drug and discount stores.

After watching with my 3-D glasses over my regular glasses, I’m happy to report that I did not get a headache or feel nauseated. That’s a start. But I was not blown away by the added dimension. This “Chuck” plays a few visual gags with doughnuts and a submarine sandwich, but for the most part it seems like just an ordinary “Chuck” sprinkled with gimmick dust.

Look for former NFL star Jerome Bettis in a guest stint. Dominic Monaghan (“Lost,” “Lord of the Rings”) also appears as a rock star who becomes the target of foreign terrorists.

• Another sweeps staple is the arrival of the milestone episode, a programming tradition that seems more important to TV producers than viewers. Tonight marks the 100th episode of “House” (7 p.m., Fox), which continues stories and themes found in the previous 99.

A scientist abandons her career to find happiness only to become gravely ill. The Cuddy-House love-hate thing continues, and Thirteen reacts badly to Foreman’s experimental treatment.

Like any show that has lasted as long as “House,” this series is both addictive and nearly ubiquitous. It has become so widely syndicated that it ends up competing with itself. How many episodes of “House” can even the most ardent “House” fan watch? The answer is probably a whole lot. That’s why I won’t be surprised to see this series reach the 200 milestone.

• “Medium” (9 p.m., NBC) returns with a typically far-fetched story of a wife who believes that her second husband channels the soul and essence of her first husband, a rich author who died in a car crash.

For all of its spiritualist malarkey, “Medium” is well-grounded by its star (Emmy winner Patricia Arquette), who does a great job of playing a wife and mother by affecting a look and style more normal than glamorous. “Medium” also stands out with kids who seem as eccentric and imperfect as mom. In tonight’s episode, the always-awkward Bridgette (Maria Lark) makes life difficult by doodling rather revealing drawings of her art teacher.

Cult choice

A wrinkle in time helps an obnoxious weatherman (Bill Murray) find contentment and get the girl (Andie MacDowell) in the 1993 romantic fantasy “Groundhog Day” (5 p.m., FX). A perfect little movie.
