All
sorts of television shows are new or returning this week. Some highlights include, of course, The Sopranos and the controversial Big Love tonight on HBO. Personally, I'm looking forward to the new Julia Louis-Dreyfus comedy, The New Adventures of Old Christine. I'm hoping she can break the Seinfeld curse this time around.

- Docu-drama that follows around
the Dunbar high school cheerleading squad in Kentucky as they balance the demands of high school with cheering.

re: Doctor Who.
are you sure? I thought that the show's first season was back in 1963 or thereabouts.
