This week brings South Park back on the air, along with the popular Top Chef. There are also a couple of premieres that may be interesting. The Pac-10 tournament begins on Wednesday, putting college basketball fanatics out of commission for a few days. This and more in this week’s TV picks.
What to Watch Live
South Park (Wednesday, Comedy Central, 10 PM)
Defying all predictions made at its debut, Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s oft-criticized but much-beloved show has managed to make it to its twelfth season, which premieres on Wednesday night. Join Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman for what promises to be another exciting season.
Canterbury’s Law (Monday, FOX, 8 PM)
Fox’s new lawyer show premieres this week with an explanation of the lead character, Elizabeth Canterbury’s, motivation for cracking down on crime as a no-nonsense district attorney. Her son will disappear and the result will harden her against criminals for the rest of her days, but you’ll have to watch to find out exactly what happens in between.
What to DVR
Top Chef (Wednesday, Bravo, 10 PM)
The show that made cooking cool starts its fourth season this week. The wannabe chefs will go to Chicago to have their food judged by the show’s esteemed panel. Bravo has added no gimmicks to the show’s extremely successful formula for the new season. DVR it because it’s on at the same time as South Park.
The Return of Jezebel James (Friday, FOX, 8 PM)
Parker Posey stars in this new show created by Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palldino. Posey’s character must turn to her estranged younger sister for help after finding out that she can’t conceive. DVR it because it’s on Friday night.

Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao (Saturday, HBO PPV, 6 PM)
