Entertainment Weekly's daily guide to notable shows:

9:30-10PM
WONDER SHOWZEN
(MTV2, TV-MA) Why does MTV bury this hilariously twisted "Sesame Street" parody on its bastard son of a network?

Because numbers and letters rumble while a Jewish J and an Arab 8 have puppet sex that would make Triumph the insult Comic Dog blush? Or because an angelic tot reporter asks Wall Streeters, "When the revolution comes, where will you hide?"

Sure, this show, as dark as the bottom of Oscar the Grouch's trash can, will give your inner child nightmares, but it's the only way he'll learn. -- Josh Wolk

EW Grade: B+

Best of the rest

8-8:30PM
ISAAC HAYES ALERT! THE BERNIE MAC SHOW
(Fox, TV-PG-L) Super! That's just two degrees of separation between Bernie and Big Gay Al.

9:30-10PM
NEW EPISODE ALERT! O'GRADY
(The N, TV-PG) "O'Grady" goes where all shows go with a parenting-the-artificial-baby-for-sex-ed ep, which joins locked-in-the-library-for-the-weekend and teach-the-nerd-to-box-the-bully as Stuff That Never Happens.

10-10:40PM
SEASON PREMIERE: DINNER FOR FIVE
(IFC, TV-14-L) If only we'd known that eating with famous people counted as a career path.
