March 16: After re-launching "Dirt" last Sunday, FX network will debut season 2 of "The Riches" this Sunday night. (Minnie Driver got nommed for best drama actress last year.) That's the same date as the start of HBO's seven-part "John Adams," which is probably unbeatable in the best-miniseries category.

March 18: Debut of "Miss Guided," starring Judy Greer as a high-school guidance counselor. Produced by Ashton Kutcher for ABC.

March 30: Second season of "The Tudors" reigns on Showtime. First season won two Emmys: costumes and title theme music. Immediately afterward is Tracey Ullman's new Showtime series "State of the Union."

April 4: Season 4 (and probably the last?) of "Battlestar Galactica" soars off on the Sci Fi Channel. Last year the long-snubbed fave of TV critics was, amazingly, nominated for best writing and directing and won an Emmy for visual effects.
