<em>NBC</em>

Everyone is a-buzz this <strong>Sunday, February 5th</strong> with<strong> Super Bowl fever</strong>. The New York Giants and the New England Patriots will battle it out for the win. This Sunday, we all become football fans (or commercial fans, at least). I become one too but mostly for the spread of bad food. Now, what else is on …
<!–more–>
If you’re not in a coma by the end, at 9pm check out a new episode of <em><strong>’Downton Abbey.’ </strong></em>Nothing<em><strong> </strong></em>follows up football better<em><strong> </strong></em>than a period drama on PBS. Go ahead, get cultured. Or you can wash down all the football with some arts and check out the season premiere of <em><strong>’The Voice’ </strong></em>at 10pm.

If you caught the first part of <em><strong>’The Voice’</strong></em> auditions on Sunday, you will want to tune in on <strong>Monday, February 6th</strong> for part two at 8pm. And if that wasn’t enough to sing about then catch the premiere of the new series <em><strong>’Smash’</strong></em> at 10pm, which follows a successful team who’s creating a  Broadway musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe; Ivy, a seasoned  chorus singer, competes with a new actress, Karen, for the starring  role. I’m looking forward to seeing what all the hype is about.

<em>ABC</em>

On <strong>Tuesday, February 7th</strong> settle in as music shows officially take over your week. At 8pm <em><strong>’Glee’</strong></em> has guest star Ricky Martin talking about how sexy he is. At 9pm catch <em><strong>’New Girl’</strong></em> as Jess tries very hard to befriend their landlord. <strong>Or</strong> at 9pm catch the premiere of <em><strong>’The River.’ </strong></em>After adventurer Dr. Emmet Cole goes missing in the Amazon,  his location beacon sends out a signal; Emmet’s wife, Tess, along with  her son and Emmet’s film crew, embark on a journey to find him. At 10pm catch a new episode of <em><strong>’Parenthood’ </strong></em>when Zoe’s behavior causes Joel and Julia to rethink their adoption.

<em>CBS</em>

<strong>Wednesday, February 8th </strong>brings the return of the show <em><strong>‘Person to Person’ </strong></em>a remake of a popular show from the 1950’s. The premiere kicks off with interviews with George Clooney, Warren Buffett, &amp; Jon Bon Jovi. To read more about it, <a href=”http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/15/cbs-is-reviving-person-to-person-made-famous-by-murrow/”>click here</a>. Then at 9pm, there’s a new <em><strong>’Modern Family</strong></em>’. Claire thinks Phil’s new business partner (Greg Kinnear) is blatantly inappropriate, but Phil doesn’t notice. At 9:30 catch <em><strong>‘Happy Endings’ </strong></em>as Penny decides she wants to dump her new boyfriend, Dave worries his  girlfriend is going to break up with him and Alex seeks out a party in a  questionable part of town. And finally at 10pm do not miss ‘<em><strong>Revenge.’ </strong></em> In the excitement over Emily and Daniel’s engagement party, things start  to unravel for everyone. And that’s sure to mean a great episode.

<strong>Thursday </strong>is the new Friday, right? No matter, I’ll be watching television cause there is a new <em><strong>‘30 Rock’</strong></em> on when Frank and Tracy try to find a date for Lutz. Love is definitely in the air. Then <em><strong>‘The Office’ </strong></em>welcomes Pam back from maternity leave. At 9:30 there’s an epic fight between Kevin (Jason Lee) and Ava on <em><strong>‘Up All Night’ </strong></em>that you don’t want to miss.

<strong>TGIF.</strong> Haven’t you always dreamed of a towel that provides enough coverage to change out of a swimsuit in public? Well, you’re not alone. On <em><strong>‘Shark Tank’ </strong></em>we get to see this become a reality. But will our dream towel get the green light? At 10pm check out our favorite new sketch show <em><strong>‘Portlandia.’ </strong></em>Then David Cross brings us another <em><strong>‘The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret.’ </strong></em>

And on <strong>Saturday</strong> check out an all new <em><strong>‘An Idiot Abroad: The Bucket List.’</strong></em> This will flex your laughing muscle to get you ready for <strong>SNL</strong> at 11:30 hosted by the adorable and lovely Zooey Deschannel with musical guest Karmin.
