As the World Turns (CBS) Check local listings
As Oakdale gets ready for its first gay film festival, Luke decides that the event would be a good spot to promote his foundation ... which, of course, starts up another fight between him and Brian Wheatabull@#$%. This sounds like it'll need a liveblog to make it all go down with less cringing, so be sure to check back starting at 2PM Eastern.
Live with Regis and Kelly (Syndcated) Check local listings
In what seems to be an attempt by the Regis & Kelly producers to demonstrate the meaning of "mixed bag", today's show includes the Project Runway final four, The Starter Wife's Debra Messing and, uhm, Bill O'Reilly. Are they trying to punish us Project Runway and Debra Messing fans?
Bones (Fox) 8:00 PM EDT
The Jeffersonian team have another case where they have to figure out a victim's life and death from only a few body parts. Finding remnants of breast implants leads the team to presume the victim was female, but when they find the victim's hip bone, they realize they're trying to solve the murder of a transgender woman. Will this be Bones' "Forever Blue"?
Project Runway's last gay standing, Jerell
Project Runway (Bravo) 9:00 PM EDT
It's the start of fashion week and the beginning of what could be the series' finale on Bravo ... and with the original celebrity guest judge dropping out at the last minute, this season has the greatest possible guest judge for the finals: Tim Gunn. Isn't it about time we got to see Tim in the judge's chair? And isn't it a week early for me to start getting excited?
BBC America Reveals (BBC America) 9:00 PM EDT
The frequently sensationalistic-sounding documentary series takes a look at a veteran who begins the process of transitioning from male to female. Yeah, the title "Sex Change Soldier" has me a bit worried that they'll trivialize the issue for shock, but I've got my fingers crossed.
South Park (Comedy Central) 10:00 PM EDT
Comedy Central's crude and irreverent animated series returns for its twelfth season, and while the series had its gay-baiting moments ("Guitar Queero" anybody?), when it tackles gay issues directly it's usually sharp and gay-friendly. Hopefully, this new season will be tacking gay topics in the way that has earned it the respect of gay viewers.
South Park's "Guitar Queer-o" was easily one of the season's lower moments
Top Design (Bravo) 10:00 PM EDT
Okay, least week's "design triathlon" settled it for me: Nathan is easily my favorite competitor this season while Eddie is the new Miguel (which probably means we'll be stuck watching Eddie find ways to describe his work as perfection until the season finale). This week's challenge takes on the "green" theme Bravo's reality shows have been incorporating lately as the designers have to rework an office in an environmental consulting firm.
The Sarah Silverman Program (Comedy Central) 10:30 PM EDT
While I usually feel mixed about Silverman's comedy, I'm a big fan of her misanthropic sitcom which makes plain that you're not supposed to be laughing with Silverman in her most offensive moments. Of course, this comedy also features two of my favorite gay characters on TV, Brian and Steve, as Sarah's married stoner geek neighbors.

WHERE'S "SORDID LIVES"?
What? You've stopped listing new episodes of "Sordid Lives" under this heading? Hopefully it's just an oversight.
And BTW, tonight's "South Park" is the first episode of the SECOND HALF of season 12.
It's a conspiracy!
