"Are We There Yet?" (TBS at 9, 9:30 p.m.). Based on the movie of the same name, this Ice Cube-produced comedy series focuses on a pair of newlyweds with two kids. In the premiere, Suzanne deals with changing her name now that she's married, and Nick (Terry Crews) feels insecure that the kids don't actually like him; in the second episode, the couple must face serious money problems when it's revealed that Suzanne doesn't have the best credit.

Now that the Facebook campaign to have Betty White host "Saturday Night Live" has been successful, a new group of fans has its sights set on another famous comic actress: Carol Burnett. No word on whether the peer pressure tactic will work on Lorne Michaels again, but this profile of Burnett, "Carol Burnett: A Woman of Character" (WETA at 9), looks back on her glory days and funniest moments.

RETURNING SERIES: "Toddlers and Tiaras" (TLC at 10). In Season 3, the reality series about pageant kids kicks things off at the Le Maison de Paris, as 9-year-old pageant vet Alex has competition as she goes up against 7-year-old dancer Daisy and 4-year-old Makenzie.

Things aren't looking too good for "Happy Town" (ABC at 10), as the network briefly yanked it from the schedule during May sweeps, with episodes resuming Wednesday night. Meanwhile, Haplin is still pretty creepy, as Rachel vanishes -- and everyone thinks the Magic Man is to blame again.

The final four contestants on "Top Chef Masters" (Bravo at 10) take on an improv challenge at the Groundlings comedy club in Los Angeles and must instantly make a dish based on a few specific words.

On "In Plain Sight" (USA at 10), Mary tries to help a woman desperate to escape her crime-ridden family, but an unfortunate incident from her past makes it nearly impossible to leave.

RETURNING SERIES: "Tosh.0" (Comedy Central at 10:30) Daniel Tosh offers more weird ways to waste time with bizarre online clips and starts Season 2 by giving "Web redemption" to a guy known as "Lightning Bolt" on the Internet; and later, Tosh decides to visit the Los Angeles Pot Convention.

Also on Comedy Central, actor Morgan Freeman stops by "The Daily Show" (at 11), and Newsweek religion editor Lisa Miller visits "The Colbert Report" (at 11:30).

"Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson" (CBS at 12:35) hosts actresses Evangeline Lilly and Charlyne Yi, along with magician LaRaf.
