I’ve already been caught up in the overwhelming wave of peer pressure by subscribing to one Super Bowl ad … but that’s the *last* time it will happen.

There are a lot of terrible things on television, but one thing stood out last year.

Who’d have thought that the ‘Worldwide Leader In Sports’ would also be the leader in awesome daytime programming? But it is, thanks to having everything including a kitchen sink.

Host and judges get ousted from Simon Cowell’s Americanized version of ‘American Idol’ … and (for the most part) I’m feeling good.

There was nothing I didn’t love about the sneak preview of FOX’s ‘Touch” last week … except Tim Kring’s established capacity to screw up really good shows. Don’t do it this time, Mr. Kring, I beg of you. …

So … who got duped into thinking the ten-second Matthew Broderick Honda teaser (which we didn’t *know* was a Honda teaser at the time) was a ‘things-to-come’ sequel to ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ … ?

In case you forgot that football is huge, the NFC title game was there to remind you. The other big news on the networks was the sneak preview of ‘Touch’, and another win for ‘Big Bang Theory’ over ‘Idol’. On cable, ‘Pawn Stars’ continues to roll.
