The Big C (10:30 p.m Monday, Showtime) -- Showtime has managed to turn a serial killer into a hero in Dexter and make a warm domestic comedy about narcotraffickers with Weeds.

Weeds (10 p.m. Monday, Showtime) -- Speaking of warm, domestic narcotrafficers, Nancy Botwin and her household of dopers are back for a sixth season -- this time, on the run after a murder. A warm, domestic murder, though.
Lake Placid 3 (9 p.m. Saturday, Syfy) -- I swear to you, I didn't know there was a Lake Placid 2. Really, how many swimmers have to be eaten by giant crocodiles before people switch over to a pool? Colin Ferguson of Eureka is the latest yokel not to grasp the situation.
