On the season 12 opener of South Park, Eric Cartman is afflicted with HIV after a routine tonsillectomy went horribly wrong. The doctors advise the boys, consisting of Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Butters, to treat Cartman normally, although when an AIDS benefit was held for Cartman, hardly anyone attends. Cartman berates Kyle, Stan and Kenny for not coming to his benefit and decides to teach Kyle a lesson by injecting Kyle with some of his HIV infected blood. Following their squabble, Cartman and Kyle take matters into their own hands hoping to find a possible cure with the help of Magic Johnson, who's been living with HIV for about “50 years.” At the end of the episode, they come up with a theory that sleeping with money every night might just be the cure. They distill Magic's cash down into a concentrated form, inject it into their bodies and the boys are cured.
Expect another round of laughs and antics in tonight's episode called "Britney's New Look." Read on for a preview.

It's been nearly three months since Comedy Central aired a new episode of South Park, but fans of the animated comedy series only have to wait for a couple more weeks until the brand new season of the show premieres.
Early last week, Comedy Central announced that South Park's 12th season will begin on Wednesday, March 12, at 10/9c. It will be succeeded by the premiere of Lewis Black's Root of All Evil, a show that features Black presiding over comedians like Greg Giraldo, Paul F. Tompkins and Patton Oswalt as they debate over who is more evil. The show's “cases” include Oprah vs. The Catholic Church and Paris Hilton vs. Dick Cheney.

On television, there appears to be a gender bias when it comes to the portrayal of homosexuality. While gay men are catty best friends and deeply dramatic teens, lesbians are much rarer, unless you only count Showtime's The L Word. Why this is we're not quite sure, all we know is this: we love lesbians.
Going back through the years, we put together a list of our five favorite TV lesbians. These aren't the most socially important or famous like Ellen DeGeneres. Instead, we thought long and hard about the TV lesbians we loved to watch, the ones we fell in love with, and the ones who made us laugh out loud.

Check out all our lists for BuddyTV's Top 7 of '07 to relive the best and the worst of the year in television.
Don Williams ranked South Park 3rd. He says...
It's unfathomable to me that, after being on the air for 11 seasons, South Park is still able to make me cry from laughter almost every week. This year, Trey Parker and Matt Stone ruthlessly skewered the Easter holiday, The Da Vinci Code, Tourette's syndrome, Guitar Hero, 300, Hillary Clinton, and Bono, amongst other things. The series is still as cutting edge, topical, and hilarious as it was back in 1997.
