What's new and/or interesting on TV this week.

Sex: The Revolution (Mon, 10PM-11PM, VH1)
Part one of a four-part series on sex! Hooray! This episode covers the repression of the early '50s, the publication of the Kinsey report, the launch of Playboy magazine, and the approval of oral contraceptives. The next episodes follow on succeeding nights, also at 10PM, with the last one airing Thursday night.

1000 Ways to Die (Wed, 11PM-11:30PM, Spike)
This is the first episode of a two-part miniseries that examines various causes of death, based on true cases, via computer-animated depictions and expert commentary. And they're not boring deaths, either; we're talking stuff like a gun owner versus a rattlesnake, and a bug collector versus a black widow.

Smallville (Thu, 8PM-9PM, The CW)
The seventh season finale sounds pretty crazy: Brainiac has imprisoned Kara in the Phantom Zone and is now impersonating her and taking Lex to the Fortress for a showdown with Clark. Meanwhile, Chloe gets arrested by the Department of Domestic Security, and Lana wakes up from her coma.

Lost (Thu, 10PM-11PM, ABC)
Part one of three? Really? Jeez. Anyway, it's time for the big showdown between the survivors and the freighter people.

Batman vs. Dracula (Fri, 8PM-10PM, Cartoon Network)
Dude. Just look at the title. Batman vs. Dracula. How can you not want to see that shit?

Mystery of the Crystal Skulls (Sun, 9PM-11PM, Sci Fi)
Sci Fi is airing this documentary special right after airing the first three Indiana Jones films, clearly as an attempt to steal some of the thunder of Indy 4. The show features an analysis of the myths surrounding the skulls, and commentary from scientists concerning their composition. There's even a jungle expedition to Belize. So apparently the whole crystal skull thing has a basis in fact. Who knew?

Indiana Jones and the Ultimate Quest (Sun, 8PM-10PM, History Channel)
Sci Fi isn't the only channel trying to grab some ratings with the help of Mr. Jones. The History Channel's special examines archaeology and the search for legendary artifacts in the context of Indy's fictional quests, and tries to separate fact from fiction.
