Hello there! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, December 2!

Top Pick goes to the sketch comedy ladies of Canada, who nearly wrap up their CBC series Baroness von Sketch Show tonight on IFC (winter finale with the final few episodes early next year). Like any sketch show, there are duds, but Carolyn Taylor, Meredith MacNeill, Aurora Browne, and Jennifer Whalen have a good record in their five seasons on the air. The "Bangs" skit is hilarious.

Elsewhere, the SEALs are back in action, ABC's comedy lineup says goodbye until next year, aliens visit Earth, the Rockefeller celebrates Christmas, ID remembers the Menendez Brothers, and HBO examines da baby god.
