THE RETURN OF QUEER AS FOLK
Sunday, March 2, SHO, 9pm.
It's back! All new episodes for a 14-week run. Justin moves in with cute street violinist Ethan (Fabrizio Filippo)—my favorite storyline of the series so far. Brian, of course, pretends not to care. Angry at Michael, Justin quits the comic book RAGE. Melanie and Lindsay have a party to celebrate the eight-year anniversary of when they got together, Brian corrals them into talking china patterns with two Leather Bears soon to be going down to the aisle. The girls' party inspires Ted and Emmett to explore the possibility of a relationship. Repeats Tues at 10 p.m.
SIX FEET UNDER, Sun., March 2, HBO, 9pm.
When it rains, it pours—SIX FEET UNDER begins its new season with a shocker you won't believe (and that some may think risks the show's Jumping The Shark). David and Keith also try couples therapy this week. Repeats Wed at 10 p.m. and Thur at 8 p.m.
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 26

THE DISCO BALL (VH1, 11 a.m., 9 p.m.) A repeat of the mediocre (and straight-sanitized) ABC celebration of disco.
