Between the war and the networks' boring attitude towards original programming in between February and May Sweeps, there's not much exciting on this week, but Dawson's Creek does start new episodes and South Park continues with new episodes, as does Queer As Folk, Six Feet Under and Oliver Beene. Be sure to set your VCR for Madonna on a late-night-only airing of Entertainment Tonight Friday. And it seems like the world still can't get enough of the possibly fake Russian lesbian teen duo t.a.T.u.: NBC repeats their appearance on Carson Daly on Monday night.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26

DAWSON'S CREEK (WB, 9 p.m.) New: The countdown to the May 14 Series Finale begins ... what will become of Jack (Kerr Smith) and boyfriend David (Greg Rikaart)?

SOUTH PARK (COM, 9 p.m.) New: 'Krazy Kripples' Jimmy is offended when a recently disabled cele sweeps through town and steals the limelight from his stand-up act. Jimmy convinces Timmy to help him form a club made up of other kids who were handicapped from birth. They find out a group exists, and Jimmy and Timmy are livin' large when they hook up with the notorious Denver 'Crips.'

FRIDAY, MARCH 28

SHORTS OUT LOUD (Sundance, 8:05 a.m., 6:30 p.m.) Short films with gay and lesbian themes: Tom Donaghy's The Dadshuttle. Lisa Cholodenko's The Dinner Party. Tom DeCerchio's Nunzio's Second Cousin. Nicholas Perry's Must Be the Music.

MADONNA ON ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT (CBS, 1:30 a.m.) Madonna discusses the April release of her new album American Life and her upcoming guest appearance on Will & Grace. (Usually would have aired Friday night at 6:30 p.m., but was pre-empted for basketball!)

Montel Williams (WCIU, 2 a.m.) 'My Parents Are Gay'

SUNDAY, MARCH 30

OLIVER BEENE (FOX, 7:30 p.m.) New series set in 1962 Queens. Taylor Emerson plays 11-year-old Oliver's gay best friend and classmate Michael, 'the most fabulous kid in class.' Tonight, when Oliver is briefly held in a jail cell, Michael asks, 'The other bad boys in there ... did they get rough? And how rough: scary rough or fun rough?' When friend Joyce says Oliver is threatening to kill himself, Michael tells him, 'I know how you feel ... did you forget to watch the Miss America pageant, too??'

SIX FEET UNDER (HBO, 8 p.m.) David meets an old acquaintance at a Gay Men's Chorus rehearsal.

QUEER AS FOLK (SHO, 9 p.m.) Lindsay and Melanie ask Michael to father their second child. Brian's accused of molesting his nephew. Ted loves having Emmett in his heart but not in his condo.

t.a.T.u ON CARSON DALY (12:35 a.m.) Repeat: The Russian teen lesbian pop duo (rumored to really be straight) have now been named Russia's entry into the annual EUROVISION SONG CONTEST, widely followed throught Europe.
