The girls are back in town. The fun soap with Mia Kirshner returns for its fifth season tomorrow night, with lots of the melodrama, comedy, hot sexuality, and preposterous plot twists that have become the show's trademark. Look for lesbian oil wrestling, Helena in prison, a pot-brownie party, and, of course, Jenny. Pressing question: Will Bette and Tina get back together?

Tomorrow at 8 p.m., Flix
This is your life. This is your life on TV.

Tomorrow at midnight, Channel 2
The conclusion you've been waiting for all week long.

Comcast
Christopher Guest and his repertory company do for dog shows what they did for community theater in "Waiting for Guffman," though less uproariously. There's less individualized eccentricity and more caricature as the owners project their various neuroses onto the animals. Worth seeing mostly for Fred Willard's hilariously inane TV color commentator. (PG-13; runs on HBO through Jan. 6)
