TV This Week

SUNDAY

Party over here! Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown, Alicia Keys and Lil Wayne are among the performers slated for “The BET Awards 2011.” Comic Steve Harvey and R&B legend Patti LaBelle receive special honors; Kevin Hart hosts. (BET, 8 p.m.)

Whither Sookie? Our favorite semi-fairy (Anna Paquin) vanished in a flash of light in last season’s finale of “True Blood.” But she’ll be back, along with all the vampires and other groovy ghoulies, when the super-sexy supernatural drama returns. (HBO, 9 p.m.)

MONDAY

When last we left “Weeds,” marijuana mama Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) had surrendered to the authorities — but don’t think for a moment that she’s given up. The cannabis-themed comedy sparks up a seventh season. (Showtime, 10:05 p.m.)

TUESDAY

One singer each from Team Cee Lo, Team Christina, Team Blake and Team that-guy-from-Maroon-5 will go tonsils to tonsils when the hit reality competition “The Voice” ends its freshman season with a two-night event. (NBC, 9 p.m.; also Wed., 8 p.m.)

WEDNESDAY

High in a remote Himalayan mountain kingdom, the locals speak in whispers of monks schooled in the dark arts — real magic, not the Las Vegas kind. Illusionist Dan White investigates such tales in the special “The Supernaturalist.” (Discovery, 10 p.m.)

THURSDAY

Lady Gaga’s riotous red-carpet fashion statements, Christina Aguilera’s fumbling of the national anthem at the Super Bowl and Will & Kate’s Westminster wedding are just some of the “50 Super Epic TV Moments” enumerated in this new special. (E!, 9 p.m.)

FRIDAY

Start with some Bill & Ted, add a smidgeon of Jeff Spicoli, top it off with a dollop of tween, and you’ve got something like “Bucket & Skinner’s Epic Adventures.” Taylor Gray and Dillon Lane play the titular dudes in this new surf-com. (Nickelodeon, 8 p.m.)

SATURDAY

Cher and Cher-alike: The Oscar-, Emmy- and Grammy-winning entertainment icon and the aforementioned Miss Aguilera team for a lot of song and dance, and a little bump and grind, in the insta-camp 2010 tale “Burlesque.” (Starz, 9 p.m.)
