What to watch: Sunday

Sundays aren't as exciting as they used to be when ABC had Alias anchoring its lineup -- you're actually better off on cable. There's still some new stuff this evening worth a watch, though you may be better off catching up on what you missed during the last week.

All of FOX's toon comedies are new, but I'll stick happily with FAMILY GUY and AMERICAN DAD (9 and 9:30 p.m. respectively). Imagine the hilarity as Brian sells Stewie's teddy bear, Rupert, and Stan opens a sweatshop. If you don't know what any of that means... On the complete other end of the spectrum is the much advertised THE VALLEY OF LIGHT (CBS 9 p.m.), a TV movie set in WWII starring Chris Klein and Gretchen Mol (who obviously can't come up with any better work at this point in their careers). If you're not the type to enjoy Family Guy or The Simpsons, this may be a better option.

Somewhere in the middle lands BROTHERS & SISTERS (ABC/10 p.m.). A cutesy drama that could be better than it is. It's a rerun, but the show's worth a look if you're into Men in Trees and Grey's Anatomy-type shows.

Also new: ABC's America's Funniest Home Videos; Cold Case on CBS; 7th Heaven on CW; NBC's Grease: You're the One That I Want, The Apprentice and Crossing Jordan; Rome and Extras on HBO; Dresden Files and Battlestar Galactica on SciFi; and The L Word on Showtime
